Lenovo’s New Laptops Fold, Flip, and Even Soak Up the Sun

Lenovo’s new laptops fold, flip, soak up the sun, and probably do your taxes. We braved their 10,000-word press release so you don’t have to. Here’s what actually matters.

Lenovo’s New Laptops Fold, Flip, and Even Soak Up the Sun
Lenovo’s new solar-powered laptops catching some rays—because who needs a charging cable when you have the sun?

Sundays, the sacred time for rest, relaxation, and, apparently, wading through Lenovo's latest novella of a press release. Yes, dear readers, Lenovo has graced us with a Mobile World Congress announcement so lengthy it rivals "War and Peace."

While I typically reserve Sundays for anything but deciphering corporate jargon, this treasure trove of tech tidbits was simply too rich to ignore. So, let's embark on this journey together, highlighting the crème de la crème of Lenovo's latest innovations, because summarizing every product would require a Sunday edition of its own.​

Yoga Solar PC Concept: Because Charging Cables Are So Last Year

Lenovo decided it was time to cut the cord. The Yoga Solar PC Concept features a solar panel with a 24% conversion rate, meaning 20 minutes of direct sunlight gets you one hour of video playback. It's the perfect excuse to take your work outdoors, assuming you don't mind the glare, potential overheating, or explaining to passersby why your laptop is sunbathing.

Yoga Pro 9i & 7i Aura Editions: AI-Powered Laptops That Allegedly Understand You

Lenovo teamed up with Intel to create Aura Edition laptops, which promise to "streamline the PC experience." The Yoga Pro 9i comes with an NVIDIA RTX 5070 GPU for creative types, while the Yoga Pro 7i has AI-enhanced performance and a fancy OLED display so your stress-induced Photoshop sessions look extra crisp.

Yoga Pro 7 & Slim 7: AI, OLED, and More Marketing Buzzwords

For those who prefer their AI with AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processors, the Yoga Pro 7 brings AI-accelerated workflow optimization (translation: it makes Photoshop and Premiere run a little faster).

Yoga 7 2-in-1: A Convertible Laptop for "Creatives on the Go"

Lenovo still believes that everyone wants a 2-in-1 laptop, so they released two Yoga 7 models (14” and 16”) that flip, fold, and twist into whatever shape makes you feel most productive.

IdeaPad Slim 3x: AI for People on a Budget

Not ready to sell a kidney for AI? The IdeaPad Slim 3x is here to help. With a Snapdragon X processor, 45 TOPS NPU, and a Copilot+1 key (because one AI assistant wasn’t enough), this laptop is designed for AI-enhanced multitasking, video calls, and general productivity.

IdeaPad Pro 5, Slim 5, and 5 2-in-1: Pick Your Poison

If you’re in the market for an IdeaPad, Lenovo is making you choose your fighter:

  • IdeaPad Pro 5: Comes with NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics for those who need extra power.
  • IdeaPad Slim 5: Lightweight, for people who just want a portable productivity machine.
  • IdeaPad 5 2-in-1: Lenovo's way of saying, “Yes, we still make convertibles.”

Final Thoughts: Lenovo’s Betting Big on AI (and the Sun)

Lenovo’s MWC 2025 lineup is all about AI, ridiculously long product names, and solar charging gimmicks. Whether you need a laptop that tracks the sun, a monitor that moves by itself, or a USB stick that allegedly makes your PC smarter, Lenovo’s got you covered.

If only they could make a press release that charges itself in sunlight, then we’d really be impressed.
