Lenovo is giving its Yoga lineup a fairly substantial refresh, but this time the company isn’t simply chasing thinner laptops, brighter displays, or another round of modest processor upgrades.

At IFA 2026 in Berlin, Lenovo announced four new Yoga devices: two high-performance laptops built around NVIDIA’s new RTX Spark platform, along with two Android tablets designed around pen input, multimodal AI, and creative work. The new lineup includes the Yoga Pro 9n, Yoga 9n 2-in-1, Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2, and Yoga Tab Gen 2.

Taken together, the announcement says quite a bit about where Lenovo thinks premium personal computing is heading. The laptop side is pushing serious AI and graphics workloads onto the device itself, while the tablets are being positioned less as passive media machines and more as portable creative canvases.

And that distinction matters, because Lenovo isn’t really presenting these as four unrelated products. The company is trying to build an ecosystem around the idea that creative work can start anywhere — on a laptop, tablet, with a pen, through voice, or even through a camera — and then move between devices as the project develops.

The most interesting part of the announcement is arguably the Yoga Pro 9n.

It is the more performance-focused of the two new laptops, and Lenovo is aiming it squarely at people who need substantial computing power without moving to a conventional workstation. The machine uses NVIDIA RTX Spark, a new platform that combines a Grace CPU with a Blackwell RTX GPU and unified memory in a single system. Depending on configuration, RTX Spark can offer up to 20 CPU cores, 6,144 Blackwell GPU cores, and as much as 128GB of unified LPDDR5X memory.

That memory figure is particularly notable.

A laptop with 128GB of unified memory is already unusual, but the more important detail is that the memory is shared between the CPU and GPU. That’s useful for the kind of workloads Lenovo is targeting here, particularly local AI development, large models, video production, 3D rendering, and other applications that can quickly run into traditional GPU memory limits.

NVIDIA has positioned RTX Spark as a way to bring workloads that have traditionally depended heavily on cloud infrastructure or large desktop workstations onto personal computers. The company says the platform is designed for local AI agents, CUDA-based development, creative applications, and RTX gaming, with up to 1 petaflop of FP4 AI performance.

That puts the Yoga Pro 9n in a rather unusual category. It looks like a premium Yoga laptop, but underneath, Lenovo is effectively trying to turn it into a portable AI and creative workstation.

The laptop has a 15.3-inch 2.5K PureSight Pro OLED display with a 48Hz-to-165Hz variable refresh rate, up to 1,100 nits of HDR brightness, full sRGB and P3 coverage, and a claimed Delta E below 0.5. It also supports Dolby Vision and DisplayHDR True Black 1000.

For creators, the display specifications are arguably just as important as the processor. A powerful machine is less useful for video editing, photography, illustration, or 3D work if the screen isn’t capable of showing the material accurately.

Lenovo has also built in a haptic Force Pad that supports pen input, which is an interesting choice for a traditional clamshell laptop. The company is clearly trying to make the touchpad more than a navigation surface, giving creators another place to make precise edits or interact with a pen.

The Yoga Pro 9n weighs from 1.65kg and is as thin as 16.7mm. It includes two SSD slots with up to 4TB of total storage, a 92.5Wh battery, a 140W power adapter, HDMI 2.1, two USB4 ports, two USB-A ports, an SD card reader, and Wi-Fi 7. Lenovo also says its X Power thermal system is designed to sustain performance while keeping acoustic output below 22dB under its stated conditions.

In other words, Lenovo hasn’t treated RTX Spark as an excuse to strip away the things that professional users actually need.

Then there is the Yoga 9n 2-in-1, which takes essentially the same idea and wraps it in a much more flexible form factor.

The 16-inch convertible also uses NVIDIA RTX Spark, but tops out at 64GB of unified memory rather than the 128GB available in the Yoga Pro 9n. It has a 16-inch 2.8K PureSight Pro OLED display with a 30Hz-to-120Hz variable refresh rate, 1,100 nits of peak HDR brightness, Dolby Vision, and DisplayHDR True Black 1000 certification.

The 360-degree hinge is familiar Yoga territory, but Lenovo has added a clever twist: the pen can work on both the display and the haptic Force Pad.

That means someone could sketch directly on the touchscreen, annotate a document, or use the Force Pad as a secondary precision surface. With the Yoga Pen Gen 2, Lenovo says the system supports low-latency input, tilt sensitivity, palm rejection, customizable controls, and extended hover functionality.

It sounds a little strange on paper until you consider the kinds of work Lenovo is targeting. Timeline navigation in a video editor, detailed image adjustments, illustration, handwritten notes, and quick annotations are all situations where having another precise input surface could make sense.

The 9n 2-in-1 also has a six-speaker Dolby Atmos system, with two tweeters integrated into the rotating soundbar so they remain front-facing as the machine changes modes. Its 99.9Wh battery is slightly larger than the Pro 9n’s, and Lenovo says 15 minutes of charging can provide up to three hours of use under its Rapid Charge Express system.

The two laptops also arrive at an interesting moment for Windows PCs.

NVIDIA announced RTX Spark earlier this year as part of a broader push to put powerful AI capabilities directly into Windows computers. Rather than simply adding another small neural processing unit to a laptop, RTX Spark combines CPU, GPU, and unified memory around the kinds of workloads that benefit from NVIDIA’s CUDA and RTX ecosystem. NVIDIA says the platform can run large AI models locally while also handling demanding creative and gaming workloads.

The first RTX Spark systems are expected to arrive in October, making Lenovo’s Yoga machines among the more interesting early examples of what this new class of Windows PC might actually look like in everyday use.

But Lenovo didn’t stop with laptops.

The company also introduced two new Android tablets: the Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 and the smaller Yoga Tab Gen 2.

Both tablets are built around what Lenovo calls a pen-first experience. The company wants users to be able to move naturally between handwriting, drawing, voice, vision, and touch rather than treating the keyboard as the center of the experience. Both devices also integrate Lenovo’s AI software, including Lenovo AI Vision, Lenovo Qira, Smart AI Input, AI Creation Tools, AI Note, and Live Transcript.

The Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 is the more ambitious of the two.

It has a 13-inch 4K display with a 3:2 aspect ratio, a 144Hz maximum refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 coverage, and up to 1,100 nits of peak brightness. Underneath, there’s Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform, along with configurations offering up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Storage can also be expanded with a microSD card of up to 2TB.

At 605 grams, it isn’t an ultra-light tablet, but that’s understandable given the size and hardware. Lenovo is positioning it as a device for digital artists, designers, productivity work, and collaboration rather than simply something to carry around for watching Netflix.

There’s also an optional magnetic clamshell keyboard, turning the tablet into something considerably closer to a traditional productivity machine when needed.

The smaller Yoga Tab Gen 2 takes the opposite approach.

It has an 11.1-inch 4K display and weighs approximately 480 grams, making it the portability-focused member of the family. It uses MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500s processor and can be configured with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Like its larger sibling, it supports microSD expansion up to 2TB.

The smaller tablet also gets a detachable keyboard pack, allowing it to switch between a conventional tablet experience and a lightweight productivity setup.

Both tablets support Lenovo’s new Tab Pen Pro 2. The stylus isn’t just a basic pressure-sensitive pen, either. Lenovo has added gesture-based controls including Squeeze to Select, Click to Draw, Double-click to Record, and Flip to Erase. Both tablets support 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity, tilt detection, and palm rejection.

There’s another detail here that could end up being more important than the hardware itself: software support.

Lenovo says both tablets ship with Android 17 and are promised seven OS upgrades, taking them through Android 24, along with security updates through 2033. That’s a surprisingly long support commitment for an Android tablet and could make the new Yoga tablets more attractive to people who plan to keep their hardware for several years.

The Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 also gets a 12,700mAh battery with 68W charging, while the smaller Yoga Tab Gen 2 has an 11,000mAh battery and the same 68W charging support. The larger model has six Harman Kardon speakers, while the smaller tablet has four speakers. Both support Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0.

And this is where Lenovo’s broader strategy starts to come together.

Alongside the four products, the company showed off something called Smart Canvas Concept. It’s not a finished product, but rather a cross-device experience designed to let users start a task on one Lenovo device and continue it on another.

Lenovo demonstrated the concept using the Yoga Tab Gen 2 and its Yoga AIO i Aura Edition. The basic idea is straightforward: a user could sketch something on a tablet, move to a larger display to refine it, then continue working elsewhere without having to manually transfer everything between devices.

Lenovo Qira sits behind much of this strategy as the company’s context-aware personal AI system. The company wants Qira to retain relevant context as users move between devices and applications, rather than treating every interaction as an isolated session.

That may ultimately be the more important story behind these Yoga announcements.

The hardware is certainly interesting. A 128GB RTX Spark laptop is unusual. A 16-inch OLED convertible that lets you write on both its display and touchpad is unusual. And a 4K, 144Hz Android tablet designed around a stylus is certainly ambitious.

But Lenovo is clearly betting that the next generation of personal computing won’t be defined by one device doing everything.

Instead, the laptop might handle the heavy lifting. The tablet might be where an idea begins. A pen might replace the keyboard for the first few minutes of a project. Voice might take over when typing isn’t convenient. AI might quietly carry context between all of those moments.

Whether that actually feels seamless in everyday use remains to be seen. Cross-device ecosystems have been promising this kind of continuity for years, and the real test is always whether the technology gets out of the way rather than creating another layer of software to manage.

Still, the direction Lenovo is taking with its latest Yoga lineup is hard to miss.

The Yoga Pro 9n and Yoga 9n 2-in-1 are effectively making the case that local AI doesn’t have to mean a bulky workstation. The Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 and Yoga Tab Gen 2 make a similar argument for tablets, putting pen input and AI at the center rather than treating them as optional extras.

Lenovo hasn’t yet announced pricing or availability for the two RTX Spark laptops. The Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 is expected to start at €849 including tax, while the Yoga Tab Gen 2 is expected to start at €649, with both tablets scheduled to become available in September 2026.

For Lenovo, then, this isn’t simply another Yoga refresh.

It’s a fairly clear statement about where the company thinks the personal computer is going next: more local AI, more flexible input, more creative hardware, and — perhaps most importantly — less of a boundary between the devices we use to turn an idea into something real.
