At MWC 2026 this year, Lenovo not only brought its usual hardware product updates, but also showcased a series of futuristic and experimental concept devices. The lineup included the Legion Go Fold gaming handheld console with a screen that can be folded in half, the Modular AI PC dual-screen laptop with hot-swappable ports, and the AI Workmate desktop robot that can project and scan documents. These bold designs fully demonstrate Lenovo's boundless imagination for the future of hybrid office and mobile entertainment.
While these products may still be some distance from actual mass production and market availability, they do indeed foreshadow the future development of personal computing devices.
AI Workmate and AI Work Companion: Physical AI Desktop Assistants
With AI applications now ubiquitous, Lenovo has decided to give AI a physical form.
First up is the AI Workmate Concept, a small robot designed specifically for office desks. It features an Intel Core Ultra processor and 64GB of memory, and its head is equipped with a 3.4-inch (480 x 480) LCD screen to display a wide range of facial expressions (such as showing a mustache and drinking coffee when listening to you speak). Most notably, its head integrates a miniature projector and two 500-megapixel downward-facing cameras.
Users can use voice commands to project documents or images onto the desktop. After you sign on paper, it can also directly scan and send the file to a printer, perfectly realizing the collaboration between digital and physical documents.
Another more understated option is the AI Work Companion Concept, which looks like a high-quality desktop smart clock. It features a physical knob and programmable buttons, can function as a USB-C expansion hub, charge other devices, and use AI to organize your cross-device calendar, suggest when you should get up and take a break, and even provide a "task completion celebration report" on the weekend. It is a practical office gadget designed to reduce digital burnout.
Legion Go Fold: A Foldable Solution to the Pain Point of Handheld Console Screen Size
In response to the booming Windows gaming handheld market in recent years, Lenovo has proposed the Legion Go Fold concept machine, featuring a foldable screen design.
To strike a balance between "immersive large-screen experience" and "portability," this handheld features a large 11.6-inch flexible OLED screen. When unfolded, it provides an ultimate visual experience; when you need to carry it with you or prefer a more compact grip, the screen can be folded back, instantly transforming into a more traditional 7.7-inch display panel.
In addition to its foldable screen, its controller also features a detachable design. You can stand the screen upright (there's a stand on the back), remove the joysticks to create a standalone controller for playing; you can even connect the Pogo Pin magnetic keyboard at the bottom to turn it into a mini gaming laptop.
In addition, the controller on the right side is equipped with a 1-inch OLED screen, which can not only display performance gadgets but also function as a touchpad, and retains the FPS mode that functions as a "vertical mouse" from its predecessor. In terms of hardware, the demo unit featured an Intel Core Ultra 7 258V processor and 32GB of memory.
Modular AI PC: A dual-screen modular laptop resembling a Transformer
The last model, the Modular AI PC Concept, is a brand-new laptop form that challenges the concepts of "modularization" and "dual screens".
This 14-inch laptop features two screens. By default, the second screen is located on the outside of the top cover, facilitating face-to-face presentations. The keyboard uses a fully detachable Bluetooth/Pogo Pin design. When the keyboard is removed, the second screen can be detached and installed in the keyboard's position, transforming it into a dual-screen workstation. Moving the second screen to the side allows it to be used as a traditional external monitor.
Even more impressively, Lenovo has incorporated the "hot-swappable ports" feature, drawing inspiration from the Framework laptop design philosophy. Users can easily swap out the modules on the side of the chassis without shutting down the laptop, replacing them with USB-C, USB-A, or HDMI ports as needed.
Yoga Book Pro 3D Concept: A vision-free dual-screen solution for 3D creators.
In addition to the above demonstrations, Lenovo also unveiled the Yoga Book Pro 3D Concept, designed specifically for next-generation 3D creators, further illustrating Lenovo's product philosophy of "adaptability".
Jun Ouyang, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Consumer Business at Lenovo's Smart Devices Group, stated, "The next generation of creators and gamers expect performance, portability, and intelligent experiences all in one device. This is why we are committed to developing better consumer technologies—whether it's 3D design that doesn't require wearable devices or the Legion handheld gaming console that scales with space. We will continue to integrate system-level AI into these bold hardware devices."
With the rise of metaverse and spatial computing, the demand for 3D content creation is experiencing explosive growth. The Yoga Book Pro 3D Concept was created to address the pain point of the overly cumbersome traditional 3D workflow. It features two high-end Lenovo PureSight Pro Tandem OLED displays, with the upper screen supporting advanced glasses-free 3D display technology.
This means that creators no longer need to wear bulky 3D glasses when modeling, allowing them to observe the depth, shape, and spatial relationships of objects in the most natural way. Even more impressively, it integrates Lenovo's own AI software, automatically converting 2D images into 3D models and generating corresponding interactive environments. Through the built-in RGB camera, users can even zoom and rotate the model directly in mid-air using hovering gestures.
On the lower half of the touchscreen, Lenovo designed a set of physical magnetic control knobs called "Snap-On Pads." Creators can attach these knobs anywhere on the lower screen, and the system will automatically pop up the corresponding lighting, viewing angle, or color tone adjustment interface at that location.
This design, combining the tactile feel of physical knobs with the flexibility of a virtual interface, allows creators to fine-tune 3D parameters in the most intuitive way without interrupting the creative process. As for core performance, this concept machine is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 discrete graphics card, which is sufficient to handle the demanding requirements of 3D rendering and AI computing.
