Users simply type whatever they want to see, and the system instantly creates a visual representation.

Headlining the new generation of Lenovo Yoga laptops are the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i (16”, 9) and the Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1 (14”, 9), designed for creators with uncompromising standards, both premium laptops are MIL-STD-810H1 rated and are packed with cutting-edge components, including the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors and a physical Lenovo AI Core Chip.

New Wave of Productive and Creative Power

Under a Lenovo AI Now solution umbrella, Lenovo is continuing the development of a personalized AI solution designed to enable end-user interaction on the keyboard and through natural language.
