- Some conceptual products from Lenovo have been disclosed on X
- One is a laptop with a screen that runs in portrait mode
- The other is a self-adjusted laptop support that apparently uses AI to position the notebook for optimal ergonomics
Lenovo is apparently ready to show a new concept laptop at IFA Show next week which has a screen that can be shot in a portrait position, as well as an innovative laptop stand.
Lenovo is used to showing conceptual devices during commercial fairs, some of which are precursors to send products – to the more gender thinkbook with a rolling display – while others will never see the light of day. During the IFA / innovation week next week, this concept will be a… pic.twitter.com/pmijdowghgAugust 28, 2025
As the rod reports, according to Renown Leaker Evan Blass, the laptop is known as “Project Pivo” (which is an internal code name) according to an article on X..
As you can see, the screen turns independently of the lid, so that you can twist it at around 90 degrees so that it is straight in portrait mode. Presumably, there is a smooth mechanism to facilitate this movement, but obviously, we do not get any clue to what; Just a basic image and explanation of the concept.
Blass also gives us an overview of ‘Project Ballet ‘by Lenovo, which is a laptop stand powered by AI, apparently. The leak explains that the AI uses internal sensors of the laptop – microphone, camera, and even more – to determine the user’s position in relation to the device and the position, then adjusts the positioning of the notebook appropriately.
Analysis: an improbable duo – or a perfect combo?
I really like the idea for the laptop stand – it’s a bitter to refine the ergonomics of using your laptop in real time.
However, the concept is one thing, the execution entirely another. And there is clearly the possibility that a self-adjustment notebook is mistaken and becomes extremely boring.
The laptop with a rotary screen is also quite clever, but it is rather a niche product. How many people really need to run their screen in a portrait orientation? Not much, but of course, it can be useful for some people (coders, perhaps writers or graphic designers).
What worries me about these concepts which introduce fantasy mechanisms is that these mobile pieces represent much more potential so that things are wrong with your notebook. And, let’s say, if your screen is stuck at an angle of 65 degrees halfway between the portrait and the landscape; It will not be fun. However, maybe the IA laptop stand can repair all the wobbly ergonomics for you-maybe it’s Lenovo’s great masterplan here?
Under the seriousness, as Blass points out, many laptop concepts are attached and never made, and this could well be the case with these ideas. Some of them cut, however, as the Gips-Bernbook with a roller screen that has been published.
I hope that we will have a better idea of how these two new innovations could work at IFA next week, where Techradar will be present, offering you all the pivotal developments – Turning laptop screens included.
