Lenovo Unveils Trailblazing Products and Solutions Designed to Power AI for All at MWC 2024

Lenovo announces latest portfolio of innovative PCs, software, proof of concept, and infrastructure solutions and services at MWC – continuing to enable smarter technology for all

BARCELONA, Spain–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Today at MWC 2024, Lenovo unveiled its latest portfolio of purpose-built AI devices, software, and infrastructure solutions, as well as showcased two proof-of-concepts devices that challenge the traditional PC and smartphone form factors. The company also revealed the future of hybrid AI fueling multi-device, software, and service offerings for more personalization, collaboration and efficiency.

“Lenovo’s suite of AI-enabled, AI-ready, and AI-optimized devices, infrastructure, solutions, and services at MWC provides a wider look at our vision for ‘AI for All’,” said Lenovo Chairman and CEO, Yuanqing Yang. “Lenovo’s AI technology benefits organizations of all sizes, driving intelligent transformation across all industries while reinforcing our commitment to sustainability.”

Redefining Boundaries with Futuristic Proof of Concept

Introducing Lenovo’s latest groundbreaking proof-of-concept, the Lenovo ThinkBook Transparent Display Laptop Concept revolutionizes the interaction and creation experience with its remarkable 17.3-inch Micro-LED transparent display. With a borderless screen, transparent keyboard area, and a seemingly floating footpad design, it effortlessly exudes a sense of high-tech simplicity, elevating the user’s overall experience.

The brilliance of this laptop lies in its intelligent integration of the virtual and real. Through the power of Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC), the transparent screen opens new avenues of work collaboration and efficiency by enabling the interaction with physical objects and overlaying digital information to create unique user generated content. The transparency allows it to effortlessly integrate naturally within its environment. Users can seamlessly switch between the keyboard and drawing board with a supported pen, unlocking new levels of creative efficiency. AI in combination with transparent displays will open up new ways of engaging with data and applications, offering opportunities to develop new features and form factors. This proof-of-concept provides a futuristic perspective on AI PCs, blending digital and physical environments that can enhance user experiences in ways never imagined.

Continuing the momentum of Tech World 2023, Lenovo and Motorola also showed a smartphone adaptative display concept that can be bent and shaped into different forms depending on users’ needs and was built upon the display and mechanical innovations from Lenovo foldable devices and rollable concepts. Lenovo and Motorola are highlighting new generative AI concepts that will enhance device customization to provide users with a truly one-of-kind experience.

With Smart Connect, users can watch a movie on a tablet and swipe it to a PC to resume, listen to a podcast on a smartphone and finish it on a laptop at home, work on a document on a laptop and edit it on their smartphone, and even start a presentation on a desktop PC and make it more portable by swiping it to a tablet. Users can also easily amplify everything displayed on their phones onto a bigger screen, for example easily move games, movies, shows, and apps from their phone to a TV for more space to work and play.
