At this year’s CES 2026 in Las Vegas, TCL CSOT (China Star Optoelectronics Technology) and Lenovo have further proved their long-term partnership. The newest Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable Concept and the motorola razr fold are equipped with displays by TCL CSOT.

Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable Concept

The continuous collaboration of the two mighty Chinese companies bring out something that has been envisioned in laptops for quite a while now.

Ever imagined of a conventional laptop with standard 16:9 display that can instantly stretch into a 21:9 widescreen monitor? Well, the Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable Concept proves it’s more than possible.

Pioneering this partnership starts with TCL CSOT’s rollable display. Dubbed as the Lenovo PureSight OLED Gaming display. From a regular 16-inch 16:9 display, it completely transforms into an ultra-wide screen — stretching between 21.5 all the way to 24 inches.

For gamers and even e-sports athletes who seek visual flexibility (literally and figuratively), the display adapts to three (3) different training phases.

  • Focus Mode (16 inches) for honing reflexes
  • Tactical Mode (21.5 inches) for enhanced situational awareness
  • Arena Mode (24 inches) for full-scale competitive simulation

Behind that rollable display tech by TCL CSOT lies a dual-motor, tension-based system. This not only means that the rollable display can unroll smoothly, the expansion is not just controlled, its contraction also delivers minimal vibration and noise.

There’s also a dedicated tensioning mechanism that ensures consistent tautness across the OLED panel. Low-friction materials then secures durability throughout the rolling cycle.

Finally, after a long wait, motorola finally unveils their first-ever book-style foldable.

The motorola razr fold headlines TCL CSOT’s 8.1-inch 2K LTPO flexible inner display. And unlike most foldable offerings in the market today, it supports a stylus!

When closed, its 6.6-inch external display delivers the familiarity of a candy-bar smartphone. Furthermore, its sleek, striking, and slim silhouette will feel comfortable in one’s hands.

Not much has been shared but more details will soon be unfolded by motorola.

The Co-Innovation Legacy

The steady legacy of TCL CSOT and Lenovo has already delivered consumer-ready products past the convention center show floor showcase.

Those include the Lenovo Yoga Slim 9i with a flexible 4K OLED display unveiled at CES 2025. Even the motorola razr 60 series flip-style foldables launched last July 2025 was not missed.

And, with the introduction of the Legion Pro Rollable Concept and the motorola razr fold, both companies continue to turn advanced display research into practical, user-focused products — setting new standards for performance, comfort, and sustainability.

With past display innovations, these newer advancements offer a more immersive viewing experience, better eye comfort, and flexiblility across various user applications.

This continuous collaboration highlights the companies shared commitment to advancing display technology and elevating the visual experience for users worldwide.

TCL CSOT’s constant strive for innovation is mainly driven by their APEX values:

  • A-mazing Display Experience
  • P-rotective of Eye Health
  • E-co-Friendly to build and use; and
  • X-Unlimited Imaginative Potential

Jun Zhao, the Senior Vice President of TCL Technology and CEO of TCL CSOT, states that the company is dedicated in providing Lenovo high-quality displays and custom diplay solutions that turn advanced technology into something  “We are dedicated to providing Lenovo with high-quality, custom display solutions that turn advanced technology into everyday excellence, and

He also says “they look forward to exploring new frontiers together.”

ASUS upgrades most of its lineup for 2026

They’ve got tablets, laptops, and PCs.

Published

Previously, ASUS unveiled all the developments coming to ROG. As expected, there are a lot of things to get excited about this year. But ASUS isn’t just about gaming. To cap off its stay in CES 2026, the brand has revealed more of its devices tailored for other segments.

ProArt PZ14

Compared to a generation ago, tablets don’t hold as much of an esteemed position in everyone’s repertoire anymore. Tablets are still useful, though. Via the new ProArt PZ14, ASUS once again stakes a claim that tablets can be essentials for creators.

The ProArt PZ14 is ASUS’s most powerful creator tablet to date. Even its looks can confirm that. The tablet was built with CNC-machined aluminum, bolstered with a Nano Black Finish and Smudge-Free technology.

Inside, the tablet has the Snapdragon X2 Elite chipset with 18 cores. This processor is supplemented with up to 32GB of RAM and up to 1TB of internal storage. And, of course, what’s a tablet for creators without strong graphics? It comes with an Adreno GPU just for that purpose.

Because creators need a brilliant screen to edit and display their work, the tablet has a 14-inch ASUS Lumina Pro OLED screen with 1000nits of peak brightness and 144Hz refresh rate.

Finally, the tablet comes with a flurry of handy accessories including the ASUS Pen 3.0, the durable ProArt Backpack, the ProArt Keyboard, and Mouse.

ProArt PX13 GoPro Edition

During CES 2026, ASUS announced a collaboration with GoPro. Naturally, adrenaline junkies can be creators, too. The GoPro Edition of the ProArt PX13 comes with a design inspired by GoPro’s motifs. It also has a dedicated GoPro button for easy access to the action camera’s interface. To top it all off, the exclusive version comes with a free 12-month subscription to GoPro Premium+.

Now, even without the GoPro Edition, the ProArt PX13 features an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor, bolstered by up to 128GB of unified memory. It has a 3K ASUS Lumina OLED touchscreen display, support for a stylus, and an ASUS DialPad for easy control over creative apps.

Zenbook DUO

Yesterday, ROG unveiled the new Zephyrus DUO, a gaming notebook with two fully functional screens. If you’re not a gamer but want to take advantage of two screens, ASUS is refreshing the Zenbook DUO for 2026.

The new Zenbook DUO features the newest Intel Core Ultra processor, up to 32GB of memory, and up to 2TB of internal storage. This time, both screens have anti-reflective coating for a better viewing experience.

As with the previous generations of the DUO, this iteration comes with a detachable keyboard and a variety of different use cases for the dual-screen notebook.

Zenbook A / S series

A few years ago, ASUS stumbled on a goldmine when it introduced the first Zenbook with Ceraluminum. The unique texture added some flair to the lightweight productivity machine. Embodying the spirit of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” the brand is introducing a modest upgrade to its iconic lineup of Zenbooks.

The new Zenbook A14 and A16 both hover around only 1 kilogram in weight. Plus, with a 70Wh battery on both versions, the series can remain unplugged and outside for an entire day. The A14 comes with a 14-inch FHD OLED screen and the Snapdragon X2 Elite. Meanwhile, the A16 comes with the same processor but with a 16-inch 3K 120Hz OLED screen.

Meanwhile, the Zenbook S14 and S16 offers the same lightweight portability but with beefier hardware. The 14-inch model comes with an Intel Core Ultra 9 chipset, while the 16-inch version has an AMD Ryzen AI 400 series processor. The series also boasts up to a 3K 120Hz ASUS Lumina OLED display with 1100nits of peak brightness. It also comes in the new Antrim Gray finish.

Vivobook S series

If Ceraluminum isn’t your thing, ASUS is also giving the Vivobook series a mild upgrade. Both the 14- and 16-inch variants will carry either the Intel Core Ultra Series 3 or the AMD Ryzen AI 400 series chipsets. Meanwhile, the 16-inch version will also have a model with the Snapdragon X2 Elite.

Both versions will have a WUXGA OLED screen or a 2.5K IPS 144Hz display. Though the series is slightly heavier, it’s still lightweight enough for everyday use, starting at only 1.35 kilograms.

ASUS V400 AiO

The ASUS V400 AiO is built for those who need something bigger and stabler than a notebook. It has everything you need from an all-in-one device. Inside, it has a Snapdragon X chipset for everyday use, up to 32GB of RAM, and up to 1TB of storage. The whole package is placed inside a sizable 24-inch FHD IPS LCD screen. Plus, the whole thing weighs only 4 kilograms.

ASUS V700 Mini Tower

Finally, ASUS unveiled a new pre-built PC that fits inside any household. Designed with a wood-like aesthetic in mind, the V700 Mini Tower is as much a piece of furniture as it is a PC.

It features up to an AMD Ryzen AI 7 processor, up to 64GB of RAM, and up to 2TB +1TB of HDD/SDD storage. You can even pack it for gaming with up to a GeForce RTX 5060 GPU. It also has copper heat pipes and a larger fan for effective cooling.

It is available in Dark Wood and Grey Weave.
