A Future Lenovo Legion Gaming Laptop Could Have an Ultrawide Screen on Demand

Lenovo could show off a new approach to its rollable OLED screen tech early next year: giving a laptop the ability to go ultrawide, according to Windows Latest (via The Verge). The laptop, which the outlet refers to as the Legion Pro Rollable, would be the first from Lenovo with a horizontally-rolling display.

As The Verge notes, there’s precious little detail in Windows Latest’s post, so we don’t know anything about the refresh rate, brightness, resolution, and so on – just that it’s going to have a 21:9 aspect ratio, which is way wider than any of our favorite gaming laptops. The outlet also claims to have confirmed that the laptop will have an Intel Core Ultra processor, but that would hardly be a surprise. The post also guesses the screen will have at least a 120Hz refresh rate, given that the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable already does. Windows Latest also published what it says is an official promotional image for the laptop.

We probably won’t have to wait long to hear more, as Windows Latest says it’ll “likely” appear at CES in July. And yeah, that tracks. Lenovo loves to show off a wacky laptop at CES – remember the Yoga 9i and its goofy double clamshell display design? Lenovo has even announced that ThinkBook rollable model last year during the conference. If this laptop is real – and that’s a big if, as Windows Latest doesn’t give the slightest hint where it got this information from – it’ll likely be one of the company’s big showpieces and you can bet IGN will be there, reporting on it.
