A Copilot key is also included in both models. This key uses AI to provide appropriate answers, summarize emails, and generate images, among others.
There are also four more new laptops that are part of the Lenovo Yoga family. The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i (14-inch, 9) is a thin and light Intel Evo edition premium laptop with a WUXGA OLED screen that is designed to be portable. It is powered by Intel Core Ultra Processors.

Moreover, the new Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 (16-inch, 9) and Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 (14-inch, 9) convertible laptops let creators who are on the go quickly access tools that help them be creative.
The Lenovo Tab M11 tablet, which was created with learning in mind but originally intended for entertainment, is the perfect "me time" device for students, movie aficionados, and aspiring artists. The tablet features premium software that improves usability and is preloaded with the Lenovo Tab Pen, a convenient stylus that provides an uncompromised experience for writing, drawing, and scribbling. Nebo enables the conversion of handwriting to text, while MyScript Calculator 2 provides real-time solutions to equations and functions.

New Products
Lenovo continues the development of a personalized AI solution intended to facilitate end-user interaction via natural language and the keyboard under the Lenovo AI Now solution umbrella. Lenovo AI Now Personal Assistant, which is currently in development, provides customized interactive experiences by leveraging the user's on-device knowledge.
Enhanced collaboration and streamlined workflows will be the results of the AI Assistant's more immersive and personalized nature. By employing natural language, users will have the capability to modify and oversee routine configurations such as performance or display, search, and condense emails and documents, generate meeting invitations, and integrate live cameras and avatars in the course of video conferencing. In China, distribution of the Lenovo AI Now Personal Assistant will commence in the first half of 2024.
Furthermore, Lenovo demonstrated two distinctive proof-of-concept devices, namely the Lenovo ThinkBook 13x Gen 4 SPE and the Mechanical Energy Harvesting Combo, at CES 2024.
The Mechanical Energy Harvesting Combo eliminates the need for external charging by converting solar irradiation and mechanical motion into power for a keyboard and mouse. Additionally, Bluetooth and 2.4G wireless connection modes are supported, facilitating connectivity with multiple devices.
On the other hand, E Ink Prism technology is utilized by the Lenovo ThinkBook 13x Gen 4 SPE to enable users to personalize the exterior cover with an assortment of patterns, thereby generating a distinctive notebook aesthetic. By enabling users to upload up to one thousand various images, this concept enables users to exhibit their individuality.
