CES 2026: Lenovo Brings Out 16 to 24″ Expandable Gaming Laptop

Lenovo has introduced the Legion Pro Rollable, a gaming laptop concept with a horizontally expanding OLED display that shifts between standard and ultrawide formats, at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, official sources confirmed. The reveal marks a bold demonstration of next-generation gaming hardware design, bringing novel form factors to the portable PC market at a time when immersive experiences and flexible displays are strategic priorities for industry players

The Legion Pro Rollable concept uses a dual-motor, tension-based mechanism to unroll a Lenovo PureSight OLED panel from 16 inches up to 24 inches wide. This horizontal expansion enables a single device to function as both a conventional portable gaming laptop and an ultrawide productivity and esports machine without external monitors or adapters.

The demonstration arrives amid broader industry shifts toward adaptable hardware that supports varied workloads. The ultrawide display format is increasingly valued in gaming for peripheral visibility and tactical awareness, and observers note that ultrawide panels have traditionally been limited to desktops and external displays.

The rollable gaming laptop concept is built around Lenovo AI Engine+, an adaptive performance layer driven by the company’s LA Core system, which continuously analyzes workload conditions and in-game behavior to dynamically rebalance system resources. Using real-time scenario detection, the platform automatically shifts power, thermals, and performance profiles based on whether the system is handling competitive gaming, content creation, or multitasking, without requiring manual user intervention.

The Lenovo PureSight OLED Gaming display comes with three different training modes to enhance your gaming experience. Focus Mode is set at 16 inches, perfect for those precision drills and reaction training exercises that really put your skills to the test.

Then there’s Tactical Mode, which expands the display to 21.5 inches, allowing for better peripheral awareness and rotation practice.

Finally, Arena Mode takes it up a notch, stretching the display to a full 24 inches for an immersive experience.

A key component of this setup is Smart FPS tuning, which monitors frame pacing and system load to reduce performance dips during high-intensity gameplay. When demand spikes, the AI engine coordinates CPU, GPU, and memory allocation to maintain stable frame rates and minimize stutter, particularly in esports titles where consistency is critical. Lenovo says the system prioritizes sustained performance rather than short bursts, helping avoid thermal throttling during extended sessions.

Lenovo based the proof of concept on the Legion Pro 7i platform. It pairs Intel Core Ultra processors with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU.

Concepts at CES traditionally help OEMs assess market interest and gather developer feedback before committing to full production and regulatory compliance for consumer release. Future iterations will require certification for emissions, durability, and safety standards in major markets including the United States, European Union, and Asia-Pacific regions.
