At this year’s CES in Las Vegas, Lenovo unveiled two laptops with expandable screens: The ThinkPad Rollable XD Concept and Pro Rollable Concept for gaming.
The ThinkPad device expands from a 13.3-inch display to nearly 16 inches, delivering more than 50% additional screen space without increasing portability burdens. The rollable display is paired with touch, voice, and gesture controls, along with AI-driven features such as live translation and multimodal interaction.
The Legion Pro Rollable proof-of-concept applies similar ideas to gaming-class hardware, signaling that adaptive displays may extend beyond productivity laptops into performance-focused devices.

Uber, Lucid and Nuro launch robotaxi tests
Uber, Lucid Group and Nuro unveiled vehicles for global robotaxi service at CES 2026, along with an Uber-designed in-cabin rider experience. The companies said autonomous on-road testing began last month in the San Francisco Bay Area, led by Nuro using supervised engineering prototypes.
The robotaxi is based on the all-electric Lucid Gravity and features a 360-degree sensor suite, Nvidia Drive AGX Thor compute, interactive passenger screens, real-time driving visualization and seating for up to six riders. Pending final validation, production is expected to begin later this year at Lucid’s Arizona factory, ahead of a planned Bay Area launch.
Samsung’s 130-inch Smart TV
Samsung’s Micro RGB 130-inch TV debuted at CES 2026, drawing attention for both its massive scale and precise color reproduction across a wide range of content.
As ultra-large screens make image consistency harder to maintain, Samsung addressed the challenge with its Glare Free technology, which minimizes reflections and preserves uniform image quality. That combination helped earn the Micro RGB 130-inch TV a CES 2026 Best of Innovation Award.
