Lenovo has unveiled more than 40 new devices and solutions which feature AI integration and the new Windows CoPilot key that summons Generative AI support.
They include new ThinkPad and ThinkBook laptops, new Yoga 2-in-1 convertibles, ThinkCentre desktops and Legion gaming computers. It also announced two new proof of concept products, a tablet, a software app, Motorola AI features, and accessories.

Unsurprisingly, the integration of artificial intelligence is a key feature. Some 11 Lenovo Yoga laptops come with Lenovo Yoga Creator Zone, a new software for creators, artists, and anybody looking to harness the power of generative AI. The new software offers image generation, which transforms text-based descriptions and sketches into visuals. Users type whatever they want to see, and the system creates a visual representation.
The two proof of concept products were a mouse and keyboard that uses mechanical movement and solar irradiation for its power. There is no need for external charging.
