Lenovo unveiled the 2026 refresh of its Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition at Mobile World Congress, featuring a new Canvas Mode when paired with the Yoga Pen Gen 2 case. This mode elevates the display slightly when the device is laid flat, potentially aiding artists. The Copilot+ laptop uses Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, offers up to 32GB RAM, and runs Windows 11, with a 14-inch 2,880 x 1,800 display supporting 120Hz refresh and multi-touch. Priced at $1,949 starting in May, it competes in the premium convertibles segment.

Lenovo also launched the Yoga Pro 7a, another Copilot+ device powered by AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Series processors and up to 128GB RAM for heavy AI tasks. Its 15.3-inch 2.5K OLED display and Force Pad trackpad doubling as a drawing tablet make it suitable for creative professionals, starting at $2,099 in August. For budget-conscious buyers, the IdeaPad Slim 5i Ultra offers Copilot+ features with Intel Core Ultra processors, starting at $799 in October, while the student-focused Idea Tab Pro Gen 2 uses Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, includes a Qira AI assistant, and launches at $419 with a pen in July.
