"The first rollable experiment this year is the most daring, the Legion Pro Rollable Concept. It's a 16-inch gaming laptop with a screen that can expand horizontally to a 21.5-inch "Tactical" mode, or all the way up to a 24-inch "Arena" mode. Let's be real: a screen much wider than the laptop housing it looks wacky. And it requires the laptop lid to be comically thick. But with the popularity of ultrawide external monitors for gaming, it does make a certain amount of sense."
"Like the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable OLED laptop that came out last year, the full OLED screen is hidden until triggered to unroll with a key press. In this case, the laptop uses two motors that unrolls the screen in both directions simultaneously, giving you that ultrawide aspect ratio when fully expanded. Beyond that, it's built on the chassis of a Legion Pro 7i, so in theory a laptop like this would feature high-end components similar to what's in that model,"
Lenovo showcased two rollable OLED laptop concepts that change screen dimensions on demand. The Legion Pro Rollable Concept starts as a 16-inch gaming laptop and expands horizontally to a 21.5-inch Tactical mode or a 24-inch Arena mode using dual motors that unroll the panel in both directions. The design increases lid thickness to accommodate the wider display and aims to bring ultrawide gaming portability while leveraging a Legion Pro 7i chassis. The ThinkPad Rollable XD Concept iterates on vertical expansion, starting with a smaller OLED and extending screen height to increase usable display real estate.
