Lenovo is doubling down on laptops with expandable displays, with the company revealing the Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable concept laptop at CES last week. Lenovo launched the market’s first roll-out display laptop last year with the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable, but is taking things in a new direction with this year’s concept. Designed in partnership with TCL CSOT, the Legion Pro begins with a 16-inch display that can then be expanded to a 24-inch ultrawide with a 24:9 aspect ratio. At 16-inches, the display sports a 2048×1280 resolution that increases to 3413×1280 when completely extended.
Like the Thinkbook Plus Gen 6 Rollable, the expanding/contracting of the display is handled by a “dual-motor, tension-based system” that keeps noise and vibrations to a minimum. While only a concept, Lenovo has shown that they are willing to take rollable displays to market, and the Legion Pro fills a different niche in the laptop market by expanding horizontally to an ultrawide monitor.
