IFA 2024: Lenovo’s latest Yoga, ThinkPad and ThinkBook additions include Copilot+ PCs

In May, Microsoft announced a new category of devices: the Copilot+ PC. These PCs are the fastest, most intelligent Windows PCs ever built, featuring new silicon with NPUs capable of 40+ TOPS (trillion operations per second), all-day battery life and breakthrough AI experiences. This reimagining of the PC in its entirety has AI at its center, marking the most significant change to the Windows platform in decades.

Now at IFA, the annual Berlin-based electronics tradeshow, Copilot+ PCs took center stage with Microsoft’s partners, including Lenovo. At Lenovo Innovation World 2024, Lenovo unveiled its newest additions to its Yoga and IdeaPad portfolios, including Copilot+ PCs such as the all-new Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition powered by Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 200V), the Yoga Pro 7 powered by AMD Ryzen AI 300 series processors, and the ThinkBook Gen 7 powered by Snapdragon processors. Lenovo also cast the spotlight on the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Edition, which similar to the Yoga Slim 7i and Yoga Pro 7, will support Copilot+ PC experiences when available from Microsoft* and includes a Copilot key for one-touch access to Copilot, the everyday AI companion.
