Ushering in a new era, Lenovo’s newest lineup of Microsoft Windows 11 Lenovo Yoga laptops come with Lenovo Yoga Creator Zone, an exclusive new software for creators, artists, and anybody looking to harness the power of generative AI in a simple and private way with security in mind.

As an imagination sparkplug, Lenovo Yoga Creator Zone offers image generation, which transforms text-based descriptions or even sketches into stunning visuals without complex prompts, codes, or setups.

Users simply type whatever they want to see, and the system instantly creates a visual representation.

Headlining the new generation of Lenovo Yoga laptops are the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i (16”, 9) and the Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1 (14”, 9), the latter of which comes bundled with a Lenovo Smart Pen and Sleeve.

Designed for creators with uncompromising standards, both premium laptops are MIL-STD-810H1 rated for durability and are packed with cutting-edge components, including the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors for blazing-fast performance; a physical Lenovo AI Core Chip that powers robust AI functionality; and powerful batteries for nonstop creativity.

Maximizing the performance of the Lenovo AI Core and Intel Ultra processors in the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i (16”, 9) is Lenovo X Power, a tuning solution powered by machine learning that enhances creative tasks such as 3D rendering and film color correction by allocating processing power to optimize performance, battery life and cooling efficiency.

Both models feature a Copilot key, providing faster access to one’s everyday AI companion. Copilot in Windows 11 harnesses the capabilities of AI to deliver relevant answers, summarize emails, generate images, and more.

Rounding out the Lenovo Yoga family are four additional new laptops. For portability, the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i (14”, 9) is a thin and light Intel Evo™ edition premium laptop powered by Intel Core Ultra Processors and a WUXGA OLED screen.

For content creation, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7i (14”,9) and Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 (14”,9) are creator laptops equipped with an option of Intel Core Ultra Processors or up to an AMD Ryzen™ 7 8845HS processor, up to NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX™ 4050 Laptop GPU with NVIDIA Studio validation, and a PureSight Pro LCD or OLED 3K screen.

For the wow factor, the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i (13″, 9), whose predecessor was the world’s first full size dual-screen OLED laptop, can now be powered by Intel’s new Core Ultra Processors, a PureSight OLED 2.8K screen, and a rotating Bowers & Wilkins® soundbar.

It can also be equipped with a variety of creativity enhancing software, including Smart Launcher to group commonly used apps to improve efficiency; Enhanced Virtual Keyboard for users to express their personality with skins; AI to beautify handwriting, and more.

Last but not least are the new Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 (16”, 9) and Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 (14”, 9) convertible laptops that give creators on the go quick access to tools that complement their creativity.

Made for entertainment but designed for learning, the Lenovo Tab M11 tablet is the go-to “me time” device for students, movie connoisseurs, and doodling artists.

Equipped with the Lenovo Tab Pen, a handy stylus that delivers an uncompromised writing, drawing and scribbling experience, the tablet comes preloaded with premium software that enhances usability: Nebo® to convert handwriting into text, MyScript® Calculator 2 to solve equations and functions in real-time, and WPS Office to easily view and edit documents.
