What if your laptop could carry a second screen for you? That\u2019s the idea behind Lenovo\u2019s latest proof of concept, the ThinkBook Modular AI PC, announced at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Lenovo is never shy to show off wacky, weird concept laptops. We\u2019ve seen a PC with a transparent screen, one with a rollable OLED screen, a swiveling screen, and another with a flippy screen. At CES earlier this year, the company showed off a gaming laptop with a display that expands at the push of a button. Sometimes, these concepts turn into real products that go on sale (often in limited quantities).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">At MWC 2026, Lenovo trotted out three concepts. While it\u2019s unclear whether any of them will become real, purchasable products, there\u2019s some unique utility here, and a peek at how computing experiences could change in the future.<\/p>\n<h2

class=\"CaptionWrapper-bpPcvW iDPSlt caption AssetEmbedCaption-eZIMNW gMgneI asset-embed__caption\" data-testid=\"caption-wrapper\" topspacing=\"1\"><span class=\"BaseText-fEwdHD CaptionText-cQpRdU kRTNAB hbiMYj caption__text\"><\/p>\n<p>This is with the second screen removed from the back and placed in front of the main display. The keyboard is removable and works via Bluetooth.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"BaseText-fEwdHD CaptionCredit-cUgOGk iQbGEh hRFzlA caption__credit\" credittextstyle=\"default\">Photograph: Julian Chokkattu<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paywall\">As someone with a multi-screen setup at home and a fondness for portable monitors, the ThinkBook Modular AI PC appeals to me the most. At first glance, it looks like a normal laptop. Take a look behind, and you\u2019ll notice there\u2019s a second screen magnetically hanging off the back of the laptop, like a koala carrying a baby on its back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The screen is connected to the laptop using pogo-pin connectors, so you can use it in this state to display content to people in front of you, say, if you were making a presentation during a meeting. Alternatively, you can pop this second screen off, remove a hidden kickstand resting under the laptop, and magnetically attach it to the 14-inch screen so that you have a traditional portable monitor experience. (You\u2019ll need to connect this to the laptop via a USB-C cable in this orientation.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">If you don\u2019t have the desk space for that orientation, you can always remove the keyboard from the base and pop the second screen there\u2014it\u2019ll auto-connect to the laptop via the pogo pins, and you\u2019ll be able to use the Bluetooth keyboard to type on a dual-screen setup that resembles the Asus ZenBook Duo. The whole system is a fantastically portable method of improving productivity on the go, and the laptop isn\u2019t too thick or cumbersome.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Lenovos #Latest #Wacky #Concepts #Include #Laptop #Builtin #Portable #Monitor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you like having a second screen with your computer setup?
