Lenovo used its IFA 2026 exhibition in Berlin to show off several new concept devices, including a silent ultraportable laptop with an experimental cooling system and a rollable-screen laptop designed for productivity. The concepts are the latest in a series of experimental machines from the company, which has recently debuted rollable gaming screens and a folding handheld console. The new announcements also included several products slated for release over the next year, such as monitors, desktop PCs, and consumer laptops.
One of the new concepts, called Project Swan, is a 14-inch consumer laptop that expands its horizontally rolling display to 17 inches at the touch of a button. Lenovo described it as its first horizontally expanding rollable work laptop, packing a large screen into a portable clamshell body. The company previously showed a similar rollable display in the Legion Pro Rollable gaming laptop at CES 2026. The Project Swan concept was framed as one of the more practical designs Lenovo has presented, with potential use cases including multitasking and portable entertainment.
The other concept, Project AeroBlade, is a 14-inch ultraportable with a fanless design that Lenovo said will not compromise performance. Instead of fans, the laptop uses ultrasonic vibrating modules, a technology Lenovo calls AirJet, to pull in cool air and circulate it through the machine. A single vent runs along the hinge to allow air to pass through the internal thermals. A member of Lenovo鈥檚 design team described the cooling approach as more like a bike pump than a leaf blower, since it moves air throughout the chassis rather than dumping heat in one direction.
Lenovo also introduced the ThinkVision P27UL-40, which the company said is its first inkjet-printed OLED monitor to reach the market. The 27-inch display features 3,840 by 2,160 pixel resolution and a refresh rate up to 120Hz. The monitor uses inkjet printing to deposit organic material on glass, a process that analysts believe could cut production costs by up to 20 percent. The ThinkVision P27UL-40 is scheduled for release in March 2027 with a starting price of $1,300.
Alongside that model, Lenovo debuted two other ThinkVision monitors that use standard LCD panels. The ThinkVision T32WD-4v is a 32-inch IPS monitor with 3,840 by 2,160 resolution and up to 120Hz refresh rate, shipping in February at a starting price of $900. The ThinkVision T34WD-4v is a 34-inch VA monitor with 3,440 by 1,440 resolution and up to 120Hz refresh rate, shipping in January at a starting price of $1,000.
The company also announced three new desktop PCs. The ThinkCentre X Ultra is an AI-first desktop weighing 4.4 pounds, powered by up to a Ryzen AI Max Plus Pro 495 processor, with integrated graphics, up to 128GB of RAM, and 8TB of storage, plus two expansion slots for additional SSDs. It is set for a November release with a starting price of $3,700. The ThinkCentre M75q Gen 6 is a more compact 2.6-pound desktop with up to a Ryzen AI 7 Pro 450GE chip, Radeon 860M graphics, up to 64GB of RAM, and 4TB of storage, available later this month starting at $1,380. The ThinkCentre M75s Gen 6, the largest of the three at 10.6 pounds, features up to a Ryzen AI 7 Pro 450G processor, up to 64GB of RAM, 4TB of storage, and configurations with Radeon 860M or Radeon RX 6400 8GB graphics, shipping next month at a starting price of $1,490.
