Every year, Lenovo introduces concept products at the Mobile World Congress (MWC), along with its latest range of laptops and desktop devices to highlight the innovative ideas it is developing. Occasionally, some of these products reach the consumer market, like Lenovo’s rollable display laptop, although this process can be lengthy. MWC 2026 followed a similar route, as Lenovo presented numerous computers that will soon be available for purchase. Additionally, the company revealed five concept devices, which include an AI companion that functions as a clock; a comparable AI companion concept for professional use; a glasses-free 3D laptop with dual screens; a foldable handheld gaming device; and a modular laptop.
These devices enhance current technologies present in computing, hinting at future offerings from Lenovo’s Yoga, Legion, and ThinkBook laptop lines, provided that the presented innovations become market-ready. Moreover, Lenovo announced over a dozen new products at MWC 2026, such as the Legion Tab gaming tablet, the Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition convertible laptop, the Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition laptop, and six ThinkPad notebooks tailored for professionals, including the ThinkPad X13 Detachable.
The AI Work Companion Concept resembles a digital desk clock, but it is an AI-powered device designed to assist users throughout the day while also serving as a charging hub for devices. The AI functionalities may be particularly appealing to users who utilize AI tools for their work. Lenovo explains that the AI Work Companion Concept employs AI to synchronize with the user’s tasks and schedules across different devices to provide a daily agenda. Moreover, it will recommend work breaks to mitigate burnout and offer “playful interactions,” per Lenovo, to celebrate milestones such as task completions. This desk clock also includes customizable buttons to cater to user preferences and a display for additional content, as depicted in the image above. The AI Work Companion would likely require a connection to other computers to function, although this remains speculative.
With a similar title, the Lenovo AI Workmate Concept is another AI-driven concept introduced at MWC that aims to present users with a tangible AI assistant ready to tackle more complex tasks than the AI Work Companion. The AI Workmate resembles a desk robot (or a microphone) with a base and a body featuring a display at the top. This gadget is designed to be perpetually on, allowing users to engage with AI via voice for various tasks. Lenovo indicates that the AI Workmate will locally process AI requests and assist with multiple work activities, such as document scanning, summarization, and note organization.
The AI Workmate can aid users in crafting presentations and can even project content, serving as a secondary monitor. The device allows for various modes of interaction, including voice, gestures, writing, and spatial interaction, although the latter was not elaborated upon. Unlike the earlier AI Work Companion Concept, the AI Workmate has the potential to become a valuable desktop tool, assuming Lenovo successfully markets it.
The ThinkBook Modular AI PC Concept is the type of computer that may catch the interest of a mobile professional. It boasts not one, but two displays that provide a significantly larger workspace than a standard laptop. One of the screens can be adjusted to various positions, operating as either a horizontal or vertical display mounted into a kickstand, or it can be positioned at the base of the laptop, taking the place of the detachable keyboard. The main screen of the ThinkBook measures 14 inches, matching the movable one. Together, they can create an estimated 19-inch viewing area, as stated by Lenovo.
The ports are also interchangeable, with the modular laptop accommodating USB-A, USB-C, and HDMI. Modules can connect via pogo pins, facilitating power and data transfer, according to Lenovo. As for its AI capabilities, Lenovo did not provide detailed information in its press release but noted that “AI-enabled experiences provide contextual assistance alongside primary tasks, demonstrating Lenovo’s ongoing exploration of modular, AI-driven business devices.”
Furthermore, Lenovo introduced the Lenovo Qira at the event, a Personal Ambient Intelligence solution set to be embedded in Lenovo and Motorola devices at the system level. Qira is intended to comprehend workflows and contexts across the user’s devices and provide assistance, including proactive actions. Qira is poised to begin deployment on more than 20 commercial devices within its PC lineup and appears to be the type of AI tool that the ThinkBook Modular AI PC concept could utilize if it transitions into a marketed product.
Similar to the modular laptop, the Yoga Book Pro 3D Concept also showcases two displays, but both are integrated within the laptop. The aim of the dual displays is to enable the device to create glasses-free 3D content that may benefit designers and other creators. This concept laptop operates on an Intel Core Ultra processor paired with an NVIDIA Ge.
