Lenovo has unveiled a wave of new Legion and LOQ devices at the ongoing annual Consumer Electronics Show, CES 2026, being held in Las Vegas, alongside a concept laptop designed to rethink what portable esports training can look like. The company has announced Legion Pro Rollable Concept, a high-end gaming laptop built around a screen that physically expands to match different styles of competitive play. The concept joins refreshed Legion and LOQ products aimed at esports professionals, student gamers, and players who need powerful gaming hardware that can travel with them.

The Legion Pro Rollable Concept starts as a 16-inch gaming laptop but can expand horizontally to 21.5 inches and ultimately to a full 24 inches. The idea is to give elite esports athletes a way to train on competition-sized displays while remaining mobile, removing one of the key compromises faced by professional players who compete across the globe.

The rollable display is based on a Lenovo PureSight OLED Gaming panel that unfurls from both sides using a dual-motor, tension-based mechanism. According to Lenovo, the system maintains constant tension throughout the panel while enabling the screen to expand and contract smoothly with little vibration and noise. Low-friction materials are used throughout the rolling cycle to protect the OLED surface from wear.

Lenovo has built training-focused modes around the expanding screen. In Focus Mode, the display remains at 16 inches for precision drills and reflex training. By extending the display panel to 21.5 inches, the Tactical Mode provides additional space for enhancing peripheral awareness. And lastly, for competitive gaming, Arena Mode enlarges the display panel to 24 inches.

The Legion Pro Rollable Concept’s internal architecture is based on the Legion Pro 7i platform, which combines NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 laptop graphics with premium Intel Core Ultra processors. The RTX 50 series, which is based on NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture, offers improved AI performance, next-generation graphics fidelity, and support for technologies like DLSS 4. Lenovo has also integrated its AI Engine+, powered by the LA Core system, which dynamically detects gameplay scenarios to boost frame rates and optimise system resources. AI-driven CPU and GPU tuning is designed to keep performance stable during demanding competitive moments.
