The advent of personalised artificial intelligence software to support individuals has taken the world by storm, even as companies struggle to find a systemic way to appeal to consumers. Some offer applications, while others do it through hardware but via services unique to laptops, phones or tablets.
Samsung’s Galaxy is focused primarily on its mobile devices, while Microsoft’s Copilot is more deeply integrated into its Windows operating system, and thus, focused on personal computers. Apple is one of the first to lead the way with availability on its iPhones, iPads, Mac computers and Apple Watches, and it looks like Lenovo is building its own, based on its recent showcase at IFA 2026.
At the Lenovo Innovation World ‘26 in Berlin, the company rolled out a wave of new devices — from creator laptops to wearables — centered around its Lenovo Qira, with the notion that your personal AI should follow you across whatever screen you’re using. This includes devices stretched across Lenovo’s entire hardware lineup, where more than 80 Lenovo PCs, plus select tablets and Motorola phones will support the company’s cross‑device AI platform.
The idea behind Qira is simple – most of us bounce between devices all day, and our notes, messages, and reminders end up scattered everywhere. Qira pulls the important stuff into one place, giving you a quick snapshot of what you missed and letting you pick up where you left off without hunting through apps.
Support is widening too. Qira now runs on eligible Lenovo PCs with 16GB of memory, making it accessible beyond high‑end machines. Users can download it today, and Lenovo plans to start preloading it on future devices.
Motorola is next in line for a major upgrade. As Motorola phones and tablets move to Android 17, they’ll gain Motorola Qira. The rollout will be gradual, depending on the model and market. And for the first time, Qira is jumping onto a wearable. The moto watch ultra will let users raise their wrist or say “Hey Qira” to ask questions or pull up info using the same cross‑device intelligence.
“Personal AI should not be another app waiting for a prompt,” said Dan Dery, Vice President of AI Ecosystem, Lenovo. “It should understand what matters to you, move with you across devices and help orchestrate next steps across the agents, applications and services you choose. With this next evolution of Lenovo & Motorola Qira, we are bringing that vision closer to reality through intelligence that is built into the device, designed around the individual and developed with privacy, choice and control at its core.”
Yoga Laptops And Tablets Built For Creators
Creators get fresh hardware too. The new 15-inch Yoga Pro 9n is the powerhouse of the bunch, packing NVIDIA RTX Spark (up to 128GB of 9400 MT/s unified memory) for creators and developers who want to run heavy AI, editing, or coding workloads right on their laptop. For anyone who likes flexibility, the 16-inch Yoga 9n 2‑in‑1 adds the same RTX Spark punch (up to 64GB of 9400 MT/s unified memory) but with a 360‑degree hinge and dual‑surface pen input, making it just as comfortable for sketching as it is for serious work.
Lenovo also refreshed its pen‑friendly tablets, the 13-inch Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 (Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform with Qualcomm Oryon CPU) and 11-inch Yoga Tab Gen 2 (Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500s) which now support pen, voice, vision, and touch, giving creators more natural ways to brainstorm and build.
The most intriguing addition might be the Lenovo Smart Canvas Concept, a cross‑device workspace that lets you capture an idea on one Yoga device and seamlessly continue it on another.
IdeaPad Vibe Everyday LapTops In 7 Colours
This year, Lenovo is giving its everyday laptops a splash of personality with the new IdeaPad Vibe series. It is a lineup built for students, families, and anyone who wants a machine that feels a little “more them”.
The IdeaPad Vibe leans into bold colours, lightweight design, and smooth Copilot+ PC performance thanks to Snapdragon X processors. It comes in 14‑ and 15‑inch models, both slim enough to toss in a bag (starting at just 1.3kg) and built for all‑day use.
The standout feature is the colour story. Lenovo teamed up with the Pantone Institute to create seven shades inspired by real‑world moods and moments — Dreamy Violet, Spicy Gold, Zen Green, Chill Blue, Radiant Coral, Moody Blue and Lowkey Grey. Each one is meant to reflect how people learn, create, unwind, and express themselves. And if that’s not enough customisation, Lenovo will offer matching swappable keycaps so users can add an extra pop of colour.
The IdeaPad Vibe lineup is also available with up to AMD Ryzen AI 400 Series processors, with Intel processors coming at a later date.
Beefed Up ThinkBook Lineup
Lenovo is beefing up its ThinkBook lineup with two new notebooks built for people who want power without giving up portability or style.
The ThinkBook 14 Gen 9 is aimed at users who expect real muscle from on‑device AI. Powered by Snapdragon X2 Plus processors, it’s built for heavy multitasking, content creation, and AI‑enhanced workflows. The 14‑inch WUXGA display, optional touch, and a slim 17.7mm frame (starting at 1.3kg) make it a solid travel companion.
If mobility is the priority, the ThinkBook 14x Gen 2 goes even lighter. At just 12.9mm thin and 990g, it’s one of Lenovo’s slimmest ThinkBooks yet. Powered by Intel Core 7 processors (Series 3), it’s built for browsing, collaboration, and everyday productivity. The premium metallic finishes and vibrant OLED display options give it a stylish edge, with colours like Luna Grey, Celestial White, Mystic Violet, and Veil Blue adding personality.
A Peak Into The Future: Project AeroBlade And Swan
And finally, Lenovo showed off a glimpse of the future with two new Intel‑powered concept devices that rethink what a mobile PC can be.
The first, Project AeroBlade, is all about extreme portability. This 14‑inch concept laptop is impossibly thin, at under 10mm, and weighs less than 830g. But the real twist is inside: AeroBlade ditches traditional fans entirely. Instead, it uses Lenovo’s new solid‑state Active Flow cooling, built with Frore Systems’ AirJet tech, to keep performance high without the noise, dust, or bulk of a fan.
The second concept, Project Swan, takes a different approach. It starts as a compact 14‑inch laptop, but with a quick roll‑out, the display expands into a wide 17‑inch screen. It’s built for people who want more space for multitasking, reviewing documents side‑by‑side, or even gaming and watching their favourite shows, without carrying a bulky device. Despite all that tech, the Swan stays practical at 17.9mm thin and 1.6kg.
Motorola rounded things out with the motorola edge 70 plus, the moto snap wireless charger, the moto watch ultra, and a glittery twist on nostalgia: a motorola razr embellished with Crystals by Swarovski.
Lenovo’s message this year was clear and simple: AI isn’t a separate feature anymore, it’s becoming the thread that ties your tech together.
Yonk is a geek who is fortunate enough to have an equally geeky Star Wars fan for a wife, who owns a LEGO Millennium Falcon encased in a glass coffee table as their home’s centre-piece.
