Lenovo kicked off the year with a dominating presence at the Consumer Electronics Show, where it unveiled a new Qira personal AI agent, over a dozen new laptops, and a slew of new PC accessories. (It went home with three Best of CES awards.) Today, the world's biggest PC maker is expanding its 2026 portfolio even further with a fresh crop of hardware for Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Lenovo's MWC announcements include more laptops and tablets for consumers, some additional "Think" devices on the enterprise side, and six new concepts — including a foldable variant of its popular Legion Go 2 gaming handheld, a laptop with a glasses-free 3D display, and an exciting modular laptop concept. Lenovo also revealed that Qira will be coming to more than 20 devices, with rollout starting in the coming weeks.

Mashable got the chance to demo the new laptops and concept products at a press event before MWC 2026, and we've got a full rundown on all the announcements. There's a lot to cover, so let's get right into it.

Legion Go Fold is a wild gaming handheld concept

Lenovo has officially confirmed the existence of its Legion Go Fold Concept after word of it leaked last week. The prototypical gaming handheld has a 7.7-inch POLED display that unfolds into an 11.6-inch screen you can use horizontally or vertically. As if that weren't cool enough, it also comes with a detachable wireless keyboard that turns it into a clamshell-style Windows laptop. (One of its controllers works as a vertical mouse.) It runs on an Intel Lunar Lake chip with 32GB of RAM.

Like all of Lenovo's concepts, there's no guarantee that this one will ever make it to market. But the fact that Lenovo is already teasing its internal specs is promising.

Lenovo has been dabbling in laptops with glasses-free 3D displays for a few years now, and its newest player is the Yoga Book Pro 3D Concept, a dual-display model aimed at 3D creators. It's powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 graphics (again, a good sign for hopeful buyers). Both of its displays have vibrant OLED panels.

In our brief pre-MWC demo, the 3D laptop was definitely a standout. By tracking your eye movements, it's able to render objects in 3D. It also comes with snap-on pads that attach to the lower touchscreen and activate specific touch menus, which is another nifty concept in and of itself. There's a kickstand built into its base.

A modular business laptop concept

The gaming handheld may dominate headlines, but even as a prototype, Lenovo's ThinkBook Modular AI PC Concept is an incredibly cool idea. It has lots of little touches, like the Frameworkian ability to easily swap different ports in and out as needed. It also has a detachable secondary display and keyboard, which you can replace depending on how you like to work. The screen has a kickstand so it can be used as a second monitor.

"Integrated pogo-pin connectors enable reliable power and data transfer between modules, creating a self-contained, highly flexible system built for modern laptop users who need adaptable performance," the Lenovo release states.

The ThinkBook Modular AI PC not only supports flexible workflows, but could also extend the device's lifecycle. So, while you can't actually buy the ThinkBook Modular AI PC Concept, we're hoping its best ideas make it into production, at the very least.

From the press release:

The concept centers on a 14-inch ultra-thin base system designed to support multiple, practical display configurations. The secondary display can be mounted on the top cover to enable face-to-face sharing or closed-lid interactions. It can also be positioned alongside the PC using an integrated kickstand, functioning as a fully integrated portable travel monitor in either vertical or horizontal orientation…Key modular elements include a detachable Bluetooth keyboard, secondary display modules, and interchangeable IO ports including USB Type-A, USB Type-C and HDMI, allowing the device to transition between compact mobility and expanded productivity while maintaining system stability, security, and performance.

Lenovo has been showing a greater interest in repairability so far in 2026. In January, it earned a Best of CES award for the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14 Aura Edition, a business laptop with a "Space Frame" design that makes its internals easily replaceable. And some of the other new commercial PCs it brought to MWC have more repairable builds. (More on those momentarily.)

A boatload of consumer devices

Lenovo's consumer laptop lineup for MWC is helmed by the next-gen Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition, an updated version of our favorite 2-in-1. It has an Intel Core Ultra Series 3 chip, a slightly lighter design, and more ports (including a re-added headphone jack). It ships with a Yoga Pen Gen 2, and the stylus's case attaches to the laptop magnetically to enable a new Canvas mode. The new Yoga 9i will be available starting in May for $1,949.

Lenovo's theme for MWC 2026 seems to be, "But wait, there's more." Seriously, there is a lot more. For enterprise customers, Lenovo is introducing a new lineup of ThinkPad and ThinkBook laptops, a new rugged ThinkTab tablet, and a new ThinkVision monitor. Lenovo has confirmed their pricing but not their official launch dates, though they'll all arriving at some point in 2026.

Two AI companion concepts

Lenovo seems to be mulling the idea of putting more AI on people's desks. The other two concepts it brought to MWC are both tabletop AI companion devices.

The AI Work Companion is a consumer-oriented prototype that looks like a regular desk clock — very inconspicuous — and acts sort of like a personal secretary. The press release said its "'Thought Bubble' utilizes AI to sync tasks and schedules from across the user’s devices to generate a balanced daily plan with just a single tap." It can also monitor your screentime, tell you when you should take work breaks to avoid burnout, and charge your other tech via its built-in port hub.

Lenovo's other AI concept device is the AI Workmate, a business-oriented gizmo that looks like it could be related to the Pixar Lamp. "Designed as an always-on desk companion, it supports writing, voice, gesture, and spatial interaction, with on-device AI processing inputs locally," Lenovo said. It can scan and summarize documents, make presentations, and project content onto nearby surfaces. With cutesy emoji-like eyes on its "head's" screen, this one is begging to be anthropomorphized.
