1 min readIt wouldn’t be a major consumer electronics trade show without a few kooky concept products and Lenovo’s contribution to the weirdest tech at this year’s IFA conference is the new Auto Twist AI PC.
At a glance, the Lenovo Auto Twist AI PC looks like most other Lenovo laptops. It’s got thin bezels and a slim profile, but it doesn’t look like anything special. However, look a little closer and you’ll discover that the hinge is both motorized and twistable.
As put by Lenovo, the device “features an industry-first auto-twist design, integrating AI-powered flexibility, smart interaction, and enhanced security to create a seamless and ergonomic computing experience.”
These buzzwords translate into a laptop with a screen that follows you around like a webcam with tracking (or the Apple Studio Display) might. The Lenovo Auto Twist AI PC can also respond to a number of basic voice commands. Instead of closing the lid of the machine the old fashioned way, you can just yell at Lenovo Auto Twist AI PC and it will close up like a clam protecting a pearl. The feat might not be necessary for most everyday users, but it is novel to see regardless.
As with Acer’s Predator Project DualPlay, the Lenovo Auto Twist AI PC is far from a real product. There’s no spec sheet to pour over here because it’s definitely not coming to JB Hi-Fi anytime soon, nor should you assume it ever will. It’s the kind of innovative and experimental hardware that exists to prove that Lenovo can make the tech that nobody else is, even if it isn’t looking to sell it to consumers.
