Lenovo unveils the 2026 refresh of its Yoga 9i 2-in-1 convertible laptop at MWC

Lenovo has refreshed the Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition for 2026 and launched the new device at this year’s Mobile World Congress. The convertible laptop comes with a new Canvas mode when the Yoga Pen Gen 2 case it comes with is attached to the A-Case. When you lay the device on a flat surface with the case attached, you’ll get a slight elevation on the screen, which can make sketching or drawing easier.

The Copilot+ laptop is powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors with integrated graphics, has up to 32 GB of memory and runs Windows 11. Its 14-inch display has a resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels, has a variable refresh rate of 120 Hz and supports multi-touch. In addition to the new Canvas mode, the device also supports Tablet, Tent, Stand, and traditional Laptop modes, as its predecessors do. The Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition Gen 11 will be available in May, with prices starting at $1,949.

Lenovo also launched the new Yoga Pro 7a at MWC 2026. This Copilot+ laptop is powered by AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Series processors and comes with up to 128GB of RAM, so it can be used for heavy AI tasks. It has a 15.3-inch PureSight Pro 2.5K OLED display and is equipped with a large Force Pad trackpad that doubles as a graphics tablet. You can get the device starting August this year for at least $2,099.

For a more affordable option, there’s the new IdeaPad Slim 5i Ultra laptop, which also has Copilot+ features. It is powered by Intel Core Ultra processors and comes with a 14-inch WUXGA OLED or WQXGA IPS LCD display that has a 120Hz VRR. The device was designed for portability, with its thinnest part measuring just 11.9mm deep and weighing 2.5 pounds. It will be available starting in October for at least $799.

Another affordable option is the new Idea Tab Pro Gen 2, aimed specifically at students. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 mobile platform and has a 13-inch 3.5K display. The Tab Pro Gen 2 is Lenovo’s first tablet to ship with its Qira AI assistant and the company’s AI tools. It will be sold with an included Lenovo Tab Pen Plus for $419 starting in July.
