Lenovo’s MWC concept laptop is a ThinkBook with an 18-inch folding OLED screen

Have you ever felt frustrated because your screen was too small or worried about whether you have enough battery power to get you through an important meeting? Well, Lenovo has been doing its best to come up with innovative ideas that can help you solve this. 

And at Mobile World Congress 2025, they’ve brought us their latest attempts - the ThinkBook “codename Flip” AI PC Concept, the Lenovo ThinkBook 16p Gen 6 modular laptop concept, the ThinkBook 3D Laptop concept, the Lenovo AI Ring concept, and a Yoga Solar PC concept.

 

The Lenovo ThinkBook “codename Flip” AI PC Concept

Unlike the rollable display model that Lenovo introduced at CES in January, the ThinkBook “codename Flip” AI PC Concept has an 18.1-inch outward folding OLED display that allows users to go from a compact 13-inch laptop to one with double the display space and enjoy a vertically expanded workspace, optimising productivity, multitasking, and AI-driven collaboration. 

Lenovo says that with this design, users can switch between five distinct modes, including Clamshell Mode for traditional laptop tasks, Vertical Mode for document review, Share Mode for dual-display collaboration, Tablet Mode for creative workflows, and Read Mode for distraction-free reading.

Adding to its versatility is a “Smart ForcePad” that introduces a 3-layer illuminated dashboard with numeric keys and media controls added to the ForcePad for intuitive control.

The 18-inch ThinkBook “codename Flip” AI PC Concept comes powered by Intel’s Core Ultra 7 processor, 32GB of RAM, an SSD for storage, Thunderbolt 4 ports, and a fingerprint reader for business-level security.

But that’s not all the concept laptops Lenovo brought to MWC 2025. 

The Lenovo ThinkBook 16p Gen 6 modular laptop Concept

My wife carries an extra display that she connects to her office laptop so she can see more of what she needs to do at once. But imagine if your laptop came with its own extra displays that you could swing out and connect instantly. 

Well, with the Lenovo ThinkBook 16p Gen 6 laptop, you get both expandability and modularity in one device. 

The ThinkBook 16p Gen 6 has a new “Magic Bay ecosystem”. This modular system features a series of attachable accessories designed to enhance productivity, multitasking, and collaboration by using customisable “enhancements”. These include:

• Magic Bay Dual Display Concept – A dual 13.3-inch attachable secondary screen, expanding the ThinkBook 16p into a multi-screen workstation. Ideal for data visualisation, content editing, and collaborative projects. It allows users to view multiple applications simultaneously without needing an external monitor.
• Magic Bay 2nd Display Concept – A compact eight-inch screen serving as a dedicated AI dashboard, providing quick access to productivity tools, messaging apps, and AI-generated insights. It helps ensure that key information is always within view.

• Magic Bay “codename Tiko” Concept – A compact AI emotional interaction companion that displays real-time emoji-style status, provides interactive gesture-based responses, and offers personalised emoji notifications. It helps users stay informed and engaged throughout their workday.
• Magic Bay “codename Tiko Pro” Concept – A dedicated AI-powered display, offering real-time widget interface and Lenovo AI Now integration. It acts as an always-on assistant to help streamline information.

The ThinkBook 3D Laptop Concept

Remember when 3D TVs were a thing until we realised that having to constantly wear the glasses wasn’t really that comfortable? Well, Lenovo wants us to get over this with the glasses-free ThinkBook 3D concept laptop that brings 3D computing to business and creative professionals through a hybrid display. 

The Directional Backlight 3D solution enables users to switch between 2D and 3D modes, allowing for realistic depth and precision in digital modeling, content creation, and virtual collaboration. Its 3.2K resolution display (3200×2000, 100% DCI-P3) delivers clarity and color accuracy for people working with complex visual projects.

The Lenovo AI Ring Concept 

If the ThinkBook 3D Laptop concept brought you 3D viewing, then the Lenovo AI Ring concept brings 3D gesture control to your laptop. 

This is done by wearing rings to enable touch-free navigation, 3D model manipulation, and interactive UI adjustments. 

Built with high-precision sensors and AI-driven motion tracking, the AI Ring allows users to rotate objects, zoom, and interact with 3D environments with simple hand movements, bringing an intuitive and natural approach to spatial computing. Lenovo says that this will enhance workflow efficiency, design precision, and business collaboration in AI-driven workspaces.

The Yoga Solar PC Concept

We’ve all been struck by the fear of not having enough battery power to finish what we’re doing. Electric vehicle drivers call it “range anxiety”. 

The Yoga Solar PC concept attempts to cure this by featuring a solar panel with an over 24% conversion rate. "Conversion rate" in solar panels refers to the percentage of sunlight that is converted into usable electricity, essentially measuring how efficient a solar panel is at transforming light energy into electrical power; it's also commonly called "solar panel efficiency" and is typically expressed as a percentage.

According to Lenovo, this conversion rate is achieved by leveraging ‘Back Contact Cell’ technology, which moves mounting brackets and gridlines to the back of the solar cells, maximising the active absorption. Added to this is a Dynamic Solar Tracking system that constantly measures the solar panel’s current and voltage, working with the Solar-First Energy system to automatically adjust the charger’s settings to prioritise sending the harvested energy to the system, helping to ensure maximum energy savings and system stability regardless of the light intensity. Lenovo claims that even in low-light conditions, the panel can still generate power, sustaining battery charge when the PC is idle.

This allows the solar panel to absorb and convert enough direct sunlight in 20 minutes to power up to one hour of video playback on the laptop.

Pricing and availability

Unfortunately, these devices are just proof of concept right now. But we can hope that Lenovo will put them into production, and we can buy them soon.
