At Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona, Lenovo unveiled a range of new laptops and tablets—but its most eye-catching hardware may never reach store shelves.
Among the standout concepts is the Legion Go Fold, a folding gaming handheld that blends elements of a tablet, mini-laptop, and portable console. The device features an 11.6-inch folding display, detachable controller grips, and a folio-style keyboard case. It can be used fully unfolded for a large-screen experience, folded halfway for split-screen multitasking, or folded back into a more compact handheld form.
The split-screen capability could allow gameplay on one half of the display while guides, chat, or secondary apps run on the other. Under the hood, the concept includes an Intel Core Ultra 7 258V processor—making it one of the rare Intel-powered handheld gaming devices, alongside models like the MSI Claw. It also incorporates Lenovo’s “FPS Mode” controller concept. For now, however, the Legion Go Fold remains a concept, and its complex folding display would likely make it expensive if commercialized.
Lenovo also introduced the AI Work Companion concept, a small desk device that functions as both an AI interface and charging dock. Designed to resemble a minimalist clock or animated display, it activates an AI assistant via a dedicated button, offering a more physical alternative to on-screen AI sidebars.
An even more experimental idea is the AI Workmate Concept, a small robotic assistant intended to sit on a desk and interact physically. While playful, it highlights Lenovo’s push to rethink how users engage with AI beyond traditional screens.
Rounding out the showcase is the Yoga Book Pro 3D, which features a glasses-free lenticular 3D primary display and a secondary OLED screen where a keyboard would normally sit. The dual-screen setup, paired with a built-in kickstand, targets creators who want a flexible drawing and multitasking environment.
While mainstream updates like the Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition are headed for retail, Lenovo’s most ambitious MWC reveals remain conceptual—for now.
