Last month's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas did not disappoint. The number one question I’m asked every year is, "What was the best item you saw?" Sure, there were endless companies pitching devices with AI and such. But after walking the CES show floors for more than 10 miles daily, there’s no doubt in my mind that Lenovo, the world's largest PC company, stole the show with a concept product.

If I had to pick just one product, it would clearly be the Legion Pro Rollable (concept) 16-inch top-tier gaming laptop. Currently, it is not available for purchase, nor are there plans …. yet. According to a company spokesperson, “Lenovo has no current plans for commercialization (of the Legion Pro Rollable), and shipment is not committed. Development continues as an exploration of future form factors, pending user feedback and ecosystem readiness.”

While the Legion Pro Rollable laptop is said to be in Lenovo’s gaming category, a company representative agreed with my thoughts that it is far from limited to gaming. The Legion Pro Rollable laptop is innovative with its expanding screen, yes, I said expanding screen, which I saw with my own eyes.

Once it opens, the Lenovo PureSight rollable OLED is in Focus mode at 16 inches. Go into Tactical mode, and it expands to 21.5 inches; in Arena mode, it fully expands to 24 inches. What I found impressive is that while the actual display expands, there are no seams, lines or grooves to be seen or felt.

Lenovo described the expansion technology in a recent press release as a “display that unrolls from both ends using a dual-motor, tension-based design that allows the display to expand and contract with minimal vibration and noise and translates to a smooth, controlled expansion and contraction experience.”

I did confirm with gamer friends that the concept is more than appealing: having up to a 24-inch display for competitions tucked in a backpack, ready for use anywhere, anytime. For me, having a laptop with a document open on one side and email and messages spread across the other, in a large-screen format, is priceless, particularly while traveling.

The Legion Pro Rollable Concept will have top-spec Intel Core Ultra processors and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU. It is said to have a refresh rate of 90Hz POC; 165Hz+ target, and lab testing had it at over 25,000 cycles (all supplied by Lenovo) for longevity. If you are a high-tech person, you get it. If not, just know it's powerful, fast and packed with AI horsepower.

Lenovo had many other computer announcements for home, work and play that will be made available throughout the year. Many include AI software experiences that are designed to fit naturally into everyday life. The Lenovo announcements are too numerous to list, but include business and consumer models across desktops, ThinkBooks, and portable laptops. They also announced AI Glasses and AI Sensor Hub. The demos of their AI facial recognition software were something to see and included measurements of facial features. Other new computer models feature a screen you can write on (not permanent).

Motorola, the official smartphone partner of the FIFA World Cup 2026, worked with Lenovo to announce additions, including its first foldable mobile device, a special-edition FIFA Razr World Cup 26, and a combined Motorola and Lenovo ecosystem. It includes an AI-powered camera system, an IP48 weather protection rating, and a 4500mAh rechargeable battery.

The Razr will have multicolor graphics printed on a soft vegan leather cover. There will be other FIFA personalization options, a ringtone with the official FIFA tournament theme, and exclusive wallpapers. Users can add a FIFA watermark to their photos to personalize their FIFA World Cup memories.

The smartphone will be available on motorola.com and at Verizon this month for $699.99.
