At CES 2026, Lenovo’s latest consumer portfolio moved the conversation beyond the novelty of AI to its practical application in creative workflows. The updated Windows 11-based Yoga and IdeaPad devices are built around the concept of “smarter” computing, where AI isn’t just a chatbot but an integrated layer that handles complex tasks, optimizes performance, and connects your ecosystem of devices seamlessly.
Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition (16”, 11): The Creative Powerhouse
Sitting at the top of the stack is the new Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition. This 16-inch laptop is engineered specifically for high-end content creation, featuring Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 3 processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPUs. This hardware combination, supported by NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture, brings serious muscle for generative AI tasks, video editing, and AAA gaming.
The visual experience is driven by a 3.2K PureSight Pro Tandem OLED display. It hits a peak brightness of 1600 nits and covers 100% of Adobe RGB, P3, and sRGB color spaces, making it a reliable canvas for color-critical work. A notable addition is the “Force Pad,” which serves dual duty as a traditional touchpad and a drawing surface for the included Yoga Pen Gen 2. When the pen is in use, the pad automatically rejects palm inputs, allowing for natural sketching without the need for an external tablet.
Yoga Slim 7i Ultra Aura Edition (14”, 11): Defying Gravity
For creators who prioritize portability, Lenovo introduced the Yoga Slim 7i Ultra Aura Edition. Weighing less than a kilogram (975g), this 14-inch device is the lightest Yoga model ever produced. Despite its featherweight chassis made of magnesium alloy, it doesn’t skimp on performance, packing Intel Core Ultra X9 Series 3 processors with built-in Intel Arc graphics. The 2.8K PureSight Pro POLED display ensures that the lightweight form factor still delivers deep blacks and vibrant colors with 1100 nits of peak brightness.
IdeaPad 5x 2-in-1: Flexibility for the Mainstream
The mainstream IdeaPad line also received a significant update with the new 5x 2-in-1 models. Available in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes, these convertibles are powered by the latest Snapdragon X2 Plus platforms, emphasizing battery life and consistent performance whether plugged in or on the go. The devices support the Lenovo Linear Pen 2 for note-taking and sketching, and the flexible 360-degree hinge allows users to transition easily between laptop, tent, and tablet modes.
Connecting the Dots with Smart Accessories
Lenovo is also addressing the fragmented nature of modern digital life with its updated “Smart Connect” features. Now supporting iOS alongside Android and Windows, this ecosystem update allows for fluid gesture controls—like dragging a phone app onto a PC screen or instantly transferring photos with a “Turn to Share” motion.
Complementing this software is the new Lenovo 900 Wireless Low-Profile Mechanical Keyboard and Mouse. Designed for cross-device users, these peripherals can pair with multiple devices simultaneously via Bluetooth or a 2.4G dongle, allowing you to type on your tablet and then switch to your desktop with a single click.
