Lenovo announced more than a dozen new computers at CES 2026, including laptops, desktops, all‑in‑one PCs, mini PCs and several proof‑of‑concept rollable laptops alongside redesigned flagship models. One headline device is the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14 Aura Edition, which uses a new "space frame" internal design that places hardware on both sides of the motherboard to pack more in and enable easier part replacement.

Lenovo said the design allows users to replace USB ports, the battery, keyboard, speakers and fans, and iFixit gave the model a repairability score of 9 out of 10. The X1 Carbon is powered by Intel Core Ultra X7 Series 3 processors, offers a sustained power level of 30W and uses LPDDR5x RAM at 9,600 MHz.

Lenovo also showed several rollable concepts. The Legion Pro Rollable is a proof‑of‑concept OLED laptop that expands horizontally from 16 inches to 21.5 inches and then to a full 24 inches, with three named modes—Focus, Tactical and Arena—designed for different gaming scenarios. Lenovo has not finalized the hardware stack for the concept, but said it is based on the Legion Pro 7i and the Pro Rollable could house an Intel Core Ultra processor, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 and support Nvidia's DLSS 4.

The company described the device as conceptual with no guarantee it will go on sale.
