What if you could bring your ultrawide monitor with you on the go? It’s a silly idea, but one that’s immediately appealing if you’ve spent any time within the constrained jail cell walls of your gaming laptop’s screen bezels. Lenovo, the one company that would do something so eccentric, is reportedly gearing up to launch a rollin’ gaming laptop. Instead of extending north of the laptop, this supposed screen would extend to both the east and west.
The leaks come from Windows Latest, which includes several renders of what seems to be a 16-inch Lenovo Legion Pro 7i but with an OLED screen that can extend horizontally in both directions up to 24 inches. The supposed Legion Rollable would also sport an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 and a “maxed-out Intel Core Ultra processor.” This could refer to an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, which came in many of the top-end gaming laptops in 2025. However, perhaps it could refer to one of the specific Intel Panther Lake chips built for lightweight laptops.
Wait, how would this thing roll?
The 16-inch screen could extend partially to just 21.5 inches or to the full 24 inches. That’s with a supposed “tension-based mechanism” and two motors to let it extend from both sides at once. Windows Latest suggests the device is being targeted to esports pros or wannabe hardcore gamers who need to brush up on their skills when on the move. Instead, I can imagine it would appeal to the more sedentary types who don’t have the space for a bigger screen. Lenovo’s Legion Pro 7i was not an easily transportable laptop, especially since it came packed with a 400W power brick nearly half the size of its folded-up chassis.
Exclusive: Here’s your closer look at Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable, the company’s first rollable gaming laptop that runs Windows 11 with AI features.

Lenovo isn’t the kind of company to keep things subtle. At nearly every tech conference, the major PC brand shows up with a few radical designs. Some of those weird and wild concept devices actually become real products, which is how we got the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable. That odd creature is a 14-inch laptop with a bunch of mechanical parts that extend the screen to a vertical 16.7-inch display. Believe it or not, that extra screen space is a boon if you’re doing any writing tasks or are just looking to read an internet article without having to scroll past a mountain of ads.
The problem will be price. A Legion Pro 7i already sells for around $3,000 with the higher-end specs that don’t include an RTX 5090 GPU. The ThinkBook Rollable sells for $3,300. The “Legion Pro Rollable” will likely be very expensive. Lenovo is expected to show off the new rollable laptop at CES 2026 next month.
A Legion Go 2 with SteamOS could be on the horizon
Sure, the rolling gaming laptop won’t be for everyone. Still, Lenovo has other gaming products it could show off soon. Windows Latest also shared specs on a supposed Legion Go 2, but this time it comes with SteamOS rather than Windows 11. This version of Lenovo’s handheld PC would maintain the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip, 32GB of RAM, and up to 2TB of storage. Of course it will still have that big, beautiful 8.8-inch OLED display.
Like with the Legion Go S, the version with SteamOS performed far better than the same device chugging along with Windows 11. I expect the same with the Legion Go 2. I dual-booted Lenovo’s latest handheld with Bazzite, itself a similar Linux-based operating system to SteamOS, and saw boosts in frame rate in some games between 3 and 5, and in some cases 10 fps. The version without Windows may cost less than the $1,350 Windows 11 version. Still, with RAM prices completely out of control right now, who knows what next year’s devices may cost?
