Lenovo has arrived at Mobile World Congress 2026 with a sprawling portfolio of AI-powered business devices, modular concepts, and enterprise platforms designed to help organizations scale AI with confidence. The announcements span modular PC concepts, rugged frontline tablets, refreshed ThinkPad laptops, and human-centric AI companions—all unified by a focus on repairability, platform choice, and enterprise-grade security.


ThinkBook Modular AI PC Concept: Carry Small, Use Big

The headline concept is the ThinkBook Modular AI PC, an adaptive system built around a 14-inch ultra-thin base that supports multiple display configurations. The secondary display can mount on the top cover for face-to-face sharing, sit alongside the PC as a portable travel monitor, or swap with the keyboard to create a dual-screen system. Combined viewing area can reach approximately 19 inches.

Key modular elements include a detachable Bluetooth keyboard, secondary display modules, and interchangeable I/O ports (USB-A, USB-C, HDMI). Pogo-pin connectors ensure reliable power and data transfer between modules. The concept is designed for professionals who need a single device to transition between compact mobility and expanded productivity throughout the day.


ThinkTab X11: The Think Brand Goes Rugged

Lenovo is extending the Think ecosystem beyond traditional PCs with the ThinkTab X11, a rugged Android tablet built for frontline and industrial environments. Powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 platform, it's tested to MIL-STD-810H standards and features IP68-rated durability, a bright display with glove and wet-touch support, and a screwless removable battery with battery-less mode for continuous operation in fixed or vehicle-mounted scenarios.

Dual USB-C ports enable simultaneous charging and peripheral connectivity, while front-mounted NFC supports inventory management and field authentication.


ThinkPad T-Series: Repairability Meets AI Readiness

The 2026 ThinkPad T-Series lineup introduces meaningful enhancements focused on repairability, usability, and AI readiness. Select models achieve iFixit repairability scores as high as 10 out of 10, supported by easier bottom cover access, simplified internal layouts, and expanded customer-replaceable components including batteries and USB-C ports.

A new optional 5MP camera with computer vision and vHDR improves video clarity, while larger speakers enhance audio for hybrid meetings. Select models have earned Calm Tech Certified Platinum recognition for designs intended to reduce cognitive load.


The lineup includes:
