Lenovo’s Dual-Screen Yoga Book Concept Transforms Flat Images Into 3D Models
At Mobile World Congress 2026, Lenovo launched a set of computers to join its Yoga and Legion Compositions in the coming months. These devices are packed with the latest technology, providing a cutting-edge experience for creatives and gamers (or at least those with lots of money).
The star of the show is the Yoga Book Pro 3D concept, designed to bridge 2D and 3D art through Lenovo’s AI software capabilities. I wonder if the technology is ready to support the company’s ambitions – and I also don’t know if it’s something the core audience of artists will actually want to use.
In addition to the Yoga Book concept, Lenovo has updated a wide range of its laptops And tablets. Here are the highlights from Lenovo’s MWC showcase.
Clip-on tools allow users to place the light, color, and resize sliders anywhere on the prototype’s bottom screen.
Concept Yoga Book Pro 3D
The most exciting development in the Yoga line is this new computer concept that combines AI technology with glasses-free 3D technology to make flat images stand out. Lenovo’s AI software powers the Yoga Book Pro 3D concept, which aims to streamline the process between sketching images and creating three-dimensional models.
The clamshell laptop has two screens: images opened on the lower screen can be edited with different lighting and color tools (which can be displayed by placing real plug-in tools on the screen), then converted to fully 3D renderings on the upper screen. By standing in front of the computer camera, you can rotate and resize the newly generated model as you wish with simple hand gestures, using two hands to pinch and sculpt the model as needed.
It’s a bit wobbly and unresponsive, as is the 3D effect of the screen itself: if you’re not directly in front of the computer, the projection is less impressive and more headache-inducing.
What I really like is being able to export 3D models directly into Blender. This concept provides a use case in which AI is intended to be used to assist creatives in the pursuit of a larger project rather than excluding humans from the process entirely.
Even so, I think this is an ethical gray area. What now happens to human animators who create 3D models? Maybe they don’t even have to worry about losing work: all the 3D models I saw generated during my use of the concept computer were finely detailed but perfectly symmetrical. Can Lenovo’s AI technology even sculpt an asymmetrical model with the same detail and precision as a human? Call me a skeptic, but I don’t foresee this concept replacing 3D modeling work anytime soon.
The current iteration of the Yoga Book Pro 3D concept is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 GPU.
The US market was left behind by the Legion Tab Gen 4, but we will get our hands on the Legion Tab Gen 5 very soon.
Gen 5 Legion Tab
Lenovo’s 8.8-inch Legion gaming tablet is getting a refresh, and it should be a pretty big technological leap for the US market, considering we’re moving forward Gen 3 Legion Tab and its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. The Legion Tab Gen 5 features a 3K display with a 165Hz refresh rate and up to 600 nits of brightness to support gaming on the go under the sun.
The latest iteration of the Legion Tab is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform chipset, up to 16GB of RAM, up to 512GB of storage space, and a 9,000mAh battery. Legion Tab fans will be happy to know that one of the Legion Tab Gen 3’s defining features – a dual USB-C port configuration that supports simultaneous charging and external device connectivity – is still included in this design.
The Legion Tab Gen 5 will be available in May starting at $849.
In Canvas mode, this convertible laptop sits on a flat surface, allowing users to doodle and draw with increased precision.
Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition Gen 11
Lenovo’s premium convertible laptop pulls out all the stops when it comes to display technology. The 14-inch Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition Gen 11 is equipped with a 2.8K OLED touchscreen capable of up to 1,100 nits of brightness.
The Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition Gen 11 is compatible with the Yoga Pen Gen 2, which will help users take advantage of the laptop’s new Canvas mode, which uses the pen case to add a slight tilt to the screen when the computer is placed on a flat surface. This will likely be a solid work computer and high-end drawing tablet for creatives who can afford to shell out a four-figure sum.
The Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition Gen 11 will be available in May. It will cost from $1,949.
The Legion 7a will be an incredibly powerful (and incredibly expensive) gaming laptop, despite the fact that it doesn’t have a discrete GPU.
Legion 7a Gen 11
Lenovo’s 11th generation Legion 7a laptop lineup is growing with the addition of a 15.3-inch model. It’s a gaming laptop it costs more than some low-end PCs and promises high-performance gaming without a discrete GPU.
This is thanks to the Radeon graphics cores built into the Legion 7a Gen 11’s AMD Ryzen AI Max Plus series processors, which are premium hardware for gaming and online multitasking. The OLED display is contained in a lightweight and durable aluminum chassis, which means this laptop needs to be portable (and it doesn’t have to be cheap).
The 15-inch Legion 7a Gen 11 will be available in July starting at $2,299.
The Yoga 7a Gen 11 is one of the most powerful consumer laptops in Lenovo’s lineup. It’s also absurdly expensive.
Yoga Pro 7a generation 11
The 15.3-inch Yoga Pro 7a Gen 11 is undoubtedly one of the most powerful business laptops that Lenovo offers on the market. A gorgeous display, high-performance hardware, and a terrifying price come together in this sleek product.
The Yoga Pro 7a Gen 11 features a 2.5K PureSight Pro OLED display and is equipped with an AMD Ryzen AI Max Plus chipset and up to 128GB of RAM. It’s no two ways about it: in a world where RAM is scarce, this is the type of computer for “AI power users”, for better or worse.
A Yoga Pen Gen 2 and Lenovo Force Pad are included with the Yoga Pro 7a Gen 11. The Yoga Pen is compatible with the computer’s touchpad (turning the laptop into a drawing tablet with a large screen, but not much tactility), but the Force Pad device provides a much larger sketchpad for more precise annotation and line manipulation.
The 15-inch Yoga Pro 7a Gen 11 will be available in August starting at $2,099.
