Lenovo may be preparing to unveil a gaming laptop that [1]uses rollable OLED technology to expand horizontally into an ultrawide 21:9 display, according to [2]a Windows Latest report suggesting the device could appear at CES 2026 in January. The Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable would differ from the company's existing ThinkBook Plus Gen 6, which expands its screen vertically.
The new gaming-focused design would see the left and right edges of the display extend beyond the laptop's base chassis when unrolled. Specific details remain scarce. Windows Latest doesn't know the display resolution, refresh rate, screen dimensions in either state, pricing, or release timing -- though it does mention an Intel Core Ultra processor. The ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 currently sells for $3,500.

This is extraordinarily close to my vision and hope in ~2010.
My vision used a smartphone for the CPU and a projected virtual keyboard. I realize now that the virtual keyboard was a stupid concept. But otherwise we are so close!
I want tall, not wide (Score:2)
Give me a rollout screen that doubles the height of my 13" display. Save my neck when i type in my lap.

Or even better, 3:4. I use a central 16:10 30" (2560:1600) plus two 3:4 24" (1200:1600) on the sides. An useless ratio 16:9 on the top sits mostly unused.
