Lenovo announces 'rollable' laptop with screen that expands sideways

Lenovo is announcing yet another new concept laptop with a transforming screen at CES 2026 - the ThinkPad Rollable XD Concept. It’s a ThinkPad that features a flexible OLED display that wraps around to the outer part of its lid. The laptop vertically expands from a 13.3-inch display to a taller 15.9-inch screen — offering more screen real estate for productivity work. It is very similar to Lenovo’s already released ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 rollable.

The ThinkPad Rollable XD Concept is Lenovo’s bold reimagining of the laptop PC—extending screen real estate, expanding the user experience, and exceeding what was previously thought possible. The concept is one of the world’s first out-folding devices with a world-facing display and expanding user-facing screen. The bold design enables multitasking, collaboration, and personalization like never before.

Building from Lenovo’s legacy of cutting-edge PC designs, such as the ThinkPad X1 Fold, the world’s first foldable PC, and the first of its kind ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable AI laptop, the concept device transforms from a compact 13.3″ to a near 16″ workspace, supporting on-the-go multitasking and adaptive workflows. Offering users over fifty percent more screen real estate without having to carry around a larger 16-inch notebook.

The ThinkPad Rollable XD Concept’s Swipe to X touch gestures and voice controls enable users to easily launch apps or switch modes on command or with the stroke of a finger. The device’s transparent 180° Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 cover, jointly developed by Lenovo and Corning, ensures durability and showcases Lenovo’s engineering prowess by displaying the intricate workings that power the rolling screen.

With AI-driven features like live translation, voice assistant, multi-modal, and lid-closed interactions, the ThinkPad Rollable XD Concept unlocks new workflows for hybrid professionals, retail signage, and one-to-many user scenarios. The groundbreaking device isn’t just a PC—it’s a platform for delivering smarter outcomes: more efficient work, richer engagement, and future-ready innovation.
