2.) Glasses-Free 3D Display Engine — Lenovo’s glasses-free 3D display engine represents a significant innovation trend in today’s display technology. Centered around cutting-edge glasses-free 3D display technology, the engine can be used to construct a comprehensive 3D system-level display space. The essence of this technology lies in its ability to seamlessly integrate a series of application ecosystems, including its in-house, real-time, high-resolution 2D-to-3D applications and cross-application rendering display applications. This integration allows users to immerse themselves in a realistic 3D environment, while also enabling them to experience the ecological content of the 3D world.
3.) Vehicle Computing — Lenovo Vehicle Computing showcased multi-level autonomous driving domain controllers and solutions. Lenovo autonomous driving domain controller AD1 for L4 is based on NVIDIA Thor X platform. As an ultra-high performance domain controller, its single-chip CPU computing power can reach 630K Specint2K6, AI computing power 1000TOPS@INT8, and can flexibly allocate computing power according to different needs. Lenovo intelligent driving domain controller AM1 for L2++ is based on TI TDA4VH platform, with CPU computing power of 100K DMIPS. It has rich ADAS functions such as Navigate on Autopilot (NOA), lane deviation warning (LDW) and Home Zone Parking (HPP).
4.) High Gloss Stainless Magnesium — Lenovo believes that “good-looking” and high corrosion resistance magnesium alloys have huge user value in consumer electronic products. And they are also of far-reaching strategic significance for the basic equipment manufacturing industry. By leveraging AI materials genome engineering to accelerate project optimization, and through continuous innovation and testing during the whole development process, Lenovo has successfully developed a commercially available high-gloss stainless magnesium alloy material for the first time in the industry. Its corrosion resistance is ten times that of current commercial magnesium alloys in the industry.
5.) Multi-Mode, Dual-System, Dual-AI: Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid — Lenovo SMB&CPC and Lenovo Research jointly invented ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid, which is an innovative multi-mode, dual-system and dual-AI solution. It is the world first Hybrid PC, which seamlessly switches between laptop and tablet modes, and deliver a dual experience of Windows and Android systems. It is also a powerful AI PC enabled by the dual language and vision foundation models, and can meet the diverse needs of users. If you connect the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid Station to an external monitor, you can perform multiple tasks with ease. And the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid Tab offers you Android tablet functionalities, like notetaking and media streaming. Combined with this flexible system, the Hybrid PC allows you to stream your favorite Android apps for business productivity to Windows, all with high resolution and low latency.
6.) Intelligent PC Top Cover Color Personalization: Lenovo ThinkBook 13x SPE — Lenovo ThinkBook 13x SPE, as the industry’s 1st revolutionary proof of concept of its kind, leads a trend of intelligent color personalization of laptops’ top covers. Its core features include low power consumption, ultra-thin design, and a wide range of color choices. With the support of cutting-edge technologies jointly developed by Lenovo SMB&CPC and Lenovo Research, e.g. miniaturized multimodal solutions and sophisticated color process control algorithms, users can customize up to 1,000 different patterns, freely expressing their personality and creativity.
