Moving to a small form factor, the ThinkCentre M75s Gen 6 measures 336 × 89 × 300 mm and weighs 4.8 kg. It runs up to AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450G desktop processors with the same 50 TOPS NPU. Memory reaches 64 GB DDR5 UDIMM at 5600 MHz. Storage adds a 3.5″ SATA HDD option up to 2 TB alongside two M.2 Gen5 slots. A discrete AMD Radeon RX 6400 8 GB GPU can be configured. Power supply options range from 180 W to 400 W. Front ports include USB-C 10 Gbps with 15 W charging, four USB-A 10 Gbps, and a card reader. Rear I/O has two USB 2.0, two USB 5 Gbps, HDMI 2.1 TMDS, DisplayPort 1.4 HBR3, Flex I/O, RJ-45, and line-out. It will be available starting October 2026 at 1059€.

All three desktops feature self-healing BIOS and Lenovo ThinkShield protection across hardware, firmware, and software. The M75q and M75s include Kensington security slots and padlock loops. The X Ultra uses a discrete TPM 2.0 certified to FIPS 140-2. MIL-STD-810H testing is passed on all models. ENERGY STAR 9.0, EPEAT Gold, and TCO 10.0 certifications apply.

Laptops that prioritize mobility and on-device AI

Professionals who want strong on-device AI get the ThinkBook 14 Gen 9. It measures 314.4 × 222 × 17.39 mm and starts at 1.3 kg. The 14″ WUXGA display hits 400 nits at 60 Hz with optional touch. Snapdragon X2 Plus processors deliver 80 TOPS of AI performance. Up to 32 GB LPDDR5x at 9523 MT/s is soldered. Storage reaches 1 TB. A 50 Whr, 54.7 Whr, or 65 Whr battery powers up to 26 hours of local video playback. Two USB-C 10 Gbps, two USB-A (one 5 Gbps, one 10 Gbps with always-on), HDMI 2.1, SD card reader, and audio jack handle connectivity. Wi-Fi 7 with 320 MHz channels and Bluetooth are included. Copilot+ PC experiences and Lenovo Qira with Pay Attention and Catch Me Up prompts ship standard. The laptop will be available starting October 2026 at 1099€.

Thin-and-light mobility defines the ThinkBook 14x Gen 2. At 12.9–15.6 mm thick and 990 g, it is one of the thinnest ThinkBooks. Intel Core 7 Series 3 processors power it. Display options include a 2.8K OLED at 120 Hz with 100% DCI-P3 and 500 nits, or a WUXGA LCD at 120 Hz with 100% sRGB and 400 nits. Touch is optional on the LCD. Up to 32 GB LPDDR5x at 7467 MT/s and up to 2 TB storage are configurable. A 54.7 Whr or 65 Whr battery pairs with a 65 W USB-C adapter.

Windows 11 Pro runs on both laptops. The Gen 9 keyboard is backlit with a mylar touchpad. The 14x Gen 2 offers backlit or non-backlit keyboard with a glass touchpad. Spill resistance is rated at 60 cc. FHD IR cameras with hybrid 5 MP RGB on the Gen 9 and FHD IR on the 14x support Windows Hello. Dolby Audio on the Gen 9, Dolby Atmos on the 14x. TDP is 25 W for both. A second M.2 2280 slot exists on each, with the 14x supporting PCIe Gen5.

Concept devices that rethink cooling and screen size

A proof-of-concept built around maximum portability, Project AeroBlade measures under 10 mm thick and weighs under 830 g. It uses a fanless design enabled by Active Flow thermal technology developed with Frore Systems. AirJet solid-state active cooling replaces traditional fans. The claim: sustained AI performance without the noise, dust intake, or mechanical complexity of fan-based cooling. Magnesium-aluminum construction, high screen-to-body OLED display, Thunderbolt 4, and Wi-Fi 7 round out the spec. It runs on Intel processors. No availability or pricing was announced.

Another proof-of-concept, Project Swan, expands the workspace. In compact mode it functions as a 14″ notebook. In roll-out mode the display extends to 17″ at 16:9 aspect ratio. The device measures 17.9 mm thin and weighs 1.6 kg. It adapts to side-by-side document review, presentations, dashboards, and creative workflows. Intel processors power it. No availability or pricing was announced.

The two concepts appeared at the Berlin event as explorations of future form factors. The document does not state whether either will reach production.

Monitors that handle conferencing and color accuracy

The ThinkVision P34WD-4v is a 34-inch curved 21:9 WQHD monitor at 3440 × 1440. It is the world's first Thunderbolt VoIP monitor certified by Microsoft. A built-in 5 MP camera works with Lenovo AI sensor technology to auto-frame the user, detect multiple participants, adjust speaker volume by distance, and enable Windows Hello sign-in.
