ThinkPad Rollable XD Concept

CES: Lenovo’s New ThinkPad Rollable XD Concept Extends the Screen in a New Way

Lenovo’s got a new rollable display concept to show off at CES 2026 and this one is a bit different from the previous one. The previous concept had the screen rolling out from the base of the laptop where the keyboard and motherboard are. This one has the extra display real-estate actually rolled into the back of the display and when extending, the external part has a clear panel that lets you see a very cool pattern along with the gears and motors that move inside as the display extends. So with this one, you can have the extra screen also display other stuff on the back of the laptop’s screen panel when closed or collapsed.

As above, when the laptop is closed, you can still have a variety of widgets displaying information without having to open the computer. 

This model is still a proof-of-concept though, so Lenovo isn’t ready to be selling this just yet.
