This concept laptop transforms into three modes: closed, laptop mode, and tablet mode, all through simple voice commands.

The hinge takes 10-15 seconds to transform. While slow, it’s useful for multitasking and video calls on the move.

A standout feature is the "follow-me" display, which rotates based on your movements using facial recognition.

The smart lid also automatically closes when the laptop is unattended, adding a layer of convenience and security.

Though innovative, the real-world usefulness of the voice-command features remains limited to specific tasks like conferencing.

Lenovo could refine the mechanics for faster responses, making this AI-powered concept laptop a true game-changer.
