Lenovo arrived at CES with a clear message: its next wave of consumer PCs is all about pushing display innovation, adding serious graphics power where it matters, and spreading the newest AI-ready chips across multiple lineups. From a wildly ambitious rollable-screen gaming concept to refreshed Yoga and IdeaPad models built around Intel’s latest Core Ultra platforms, Lenovo is leaning hard into performance, portability, and premium screens.
A rollable gaming laptop concept that turns 16 inches into 24 inches
The attention-grabber is the Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable concept, a gaming laptop designed to solve a problem esports and competitive players know well: you can travel with a laptop, but you can’t travel with a big display. Lenovo’s solution is a motorized rollable PureSight OLED gaming panel that expands vertically, unrolling from both ends to transform the laptop from a 16-inch display into a larger 24-inch canvas.
In practical terms, that means a more desktop-like view for games, streaming, or multitasking—without needing an external monitor. It’s still a concept, but it shows the direction Lenovo is exploring for portable gaming: bigger screens, minimal footprint, and premium OLED visuals.
Under the hood, Lenovo ties the concept to the Legion Pro 7i platform, pairing top-tier Intel Core Ultra processors with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU. Lenovo also emphasizes the benefits of the RTX 50 Series generation, including AI-focused performance gains, DLSS 4 support for improved frame rates and image quality, and creator features via NVIDIA Studio—positioning the machine as both a gaming powerhouse and a content creation tool.
Beyond the concept hardware, Lenovo’s biggest practical shift is how broadly it’s integrating Intel’s newest Core Ultra 300-class platforms across its mainstream and premium models. Several Yoga laptops are being refreshed with these chips, aiming at users who want fast performance, efficient battery life, and modern AI PC features.
Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition gets a premium OLED upgrade and optional RTX graphics
Lenovo’s Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition is positioned as the high-end option in the Yoga family. It pairs Intel’s latest Core Ultra processors with an optional NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU. A major selling point is its PureSight Pro Tandem OLED display, designed for high brightness and rich color—combined with a refreshed chassis in a “Thunder Grey” finish.
Yoga Pro 7i Aura Edition targets creators and media work
The Yoga Pro 7i Aura Edition arrives in multiple sizes and also adopts Intel’s newer Core Ultra chips, with NVIDIA RTX 5070 Laptop GPU options. Lenovo pitches this model toward professional and media workflows, which helps explain additions like Yoga Pen Gen 2 support and a high-quality PureSight Pro display that reaches up to 1100 nits peak brightness—useful for brighter environments and HDR-friendly content viewing.
Yoga 7i 2-in-1 adds a flexible option for Panther Lake buyers
For users who want a convertible design, Lenovo’s Yoga 7i 2-in-1 also joins the Panther Lake-powered group, aiming at students, mobile professionals, and anyone who prefers a laptop-tablet hybrid without leaving the newer Intel platform behind.
Yoga Slim laptops: thinner designs, fast memory, and a battery-life push
If portability is the priority, Lenovo is also refreshing its Yoga Slim lineup with multiple processor choices, making it one of the company’s most diverse families.
Yoga Slim 7i Ultra Aura Edition is built around Intel Core Ultra 300 series, includes high-speed 9600 MHz memory, and features a 2.8K PureSight Pro POLED display. It’s meant to balance premium visuals with a lighter, travel-friendly design.
Lenovo also highlights Yoga Slim 7x models powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Elite and Snapdragon X2 Plus, with battery life as the headline feature. Lenovo claims up to 29 hours on a single charge, aiming directly at buyers who want all-day (and potentially multi-day) unplugged use for productivity, streaming, and travel.
For users interested in AMD’s newest AI-focused laptop chips, Lenovo is also offering the Yoga Slim 7a with Ryzen AI 400 “Gorgon Point” processors, expanding choice beyond Intel and Qualcomm in the same broader Slim family.
More Lenovo hardware joins the refresh: Yoga Mini and new Yoga 7a 2-in-1 models
Lenovo’s CES updates aren’t limited to traditional clamshell laptops. The company also lists a compact Yoga Mini i (1L, Gen 11) desktop-sized device, along with Yoga 7a 2-in-1 models in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes. These focus on Copilot+ PC positioning, modern connectivity like Wi‑Fi 7, and fast charging—particularly appealing to buyers who want a flexible device for work, school, and everyday media.
IdeaPad lineup also gets a performance boost with newer Intel chips and RTX options
Lenovo’s IdeaPad family is being “supercharged” as well, starting with the IdeaPad Pro 5i. This model scales up to Intel Core Ultra X9-class processors and can be configured with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU, plus a 2.8K OLED display with 100% DCI‑P3 coverage for color-rich visuals. It’s a clear signal that Lenovo wants stronger graphics and better screens not only in premium Yogas, but also in more mainstream productivity laptops.
Overall, Lenovo’s CES direction is easy to sum up: bigger and better displays (including experimental form factors), wider adoption of the newest AI-capable processors, and more RTX graphics options across both creator-focused and gaming-friendly machines. For shoppers, that translates to more choice—whether the goal is a thin ultraportable with long battery life, a color-accurate OLED laptop for creative work, or a future-facing gaming device that can literally expand its screen when you need more space.Lenovo is expanding its IdeaPad lineup with fresh Copilot+ PC options aimed at buyers who want modern AI-ready performance in a thin-and-light design. The latest additions include two new 2-in-1 convertibles, the IdeaPad 5a and IdeaPad 5x, featuring a choice of AMD Ryzen AI 400 or Snapdragon X2 Plus platforms depending on the model. For anyone prioritizing portability, Lenovo is also introducing a sleeker variant called the IdeaPad Slim 5x, which pairs a Snapdragon X2 Plus Series chip with an ultra-light build that starts at just 1.2 kg.
