Mobile World Congress (MWC) begins on Monday in Barcelona, Spain, and some of the biggest tech companies will be on hand to show off their latest hardware.
Lenovo will be on hand to show its latest proof of concepts including a laptop with a display that folds vertically, a solar-powered laptop, and its Magic Bay ecosystem that can make a laptop into a tri-screen workstation.
The computer hardware company is also showing off its latest laptops at MWC. These include its newest ThinkBooks, Yoga laptops, and IdeaPads. One big focus on all these laptops is the inclusion of more AI features.
Lenovo added two Yoga AI laptops–Yoga Pro 9i Aura and Yoga Pro 7i Aura–to its Aura Edition lineup. These laptops come with AI features such as Smart Modes to give users higher control of PC customizability based on their needs, Smart Share provides AI-driven image sharing between smartphones and laptops whether it's on iOS or Android, and Smart Care for real-time support on the laptop's hardware and apps.
The Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition is a 16-inch laptop with an Intel Core Ultra processor and up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 GPU. The RTX5070 GPU provides the additional AI functionality, whether that's done to create video, photos, or music in their respective applications or to use AI to offer the highest fidelity while gaming. The 3.2K PureSight Pro display provides a double layer of OLED display, making the brightness peak at 1600 nits while the laptop's cooling system keeps it quiet. The Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition has a starting price of $1,799.00.
Lenovo will also introduce its IdeaPad Slim 3x. The 15-inch slim laptop is powered by a Snapdragon X processor while still providing on-device AI features. Users will even be able to add more storage thanks to the extra SSD slot.
Along with the new Aura edition laptop and IdeaPad, Lenovo will also release a new Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 16-inch and Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 14-inch with incremental upgrades to their hardware featuring newer processors starting at $849 for the 14-inch and $899 for the 16-inch. The new Yoga and IdeaPad laptops will start rolling out as early as this month, with some, like the Yoga Pro 9i, coming later in the year.
Along with the Yoga laptop, Lenovo has some new ThinkBooks and ThinkPads coming as well.
A first for the ThinkPad T line is a 2-in-1. The ThinkPad14s 2-in-1 is the first convertible laptop for the series. It has a 360-degree dual-hinge to go from a traditional laptop to tent mode or tablet mode. The ThinkPad14s 2-in-1 also has an optional Lenovo Yoga Pen that attaches to the laptop and handles handwriting and other pen functionality. Pricing on the ThinkPad14s starts at $1,719 and comes out in June.
For professionals who want power that's easy to carry, Lenovo is releasing the ThinkPad X13 Gen 6. The company says it's one of the lightest ThinkPads ever, coming in at just over two pounds. The laptop comes with either an Intel Core Ultra or AMD Ryzen AI Pro chip, up to 64GB LPDDR5x RAM, and a choice between a 41Wh or 54.7Wh battery. The ThinkPad X13 Gen 6 releases in June with a starting price of $1,139.
Lenovo also announced refreshes in its ThinkPad and ThinkBook lineup, including the ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 (starting at $1,674), T14 Gen 6(starting at $1,359), T16 Gen 4 (starting at $1,623), ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 5 (starting at $1,374), ThinkPad E14 Gen 7 (starting at $849), and ThinkPad E16 Gen 3 (starting at $859). Most will hit stores starting as early as April while others will come later in June.

Liverpool close to agreeing club record transfer for Florian Wirtz

Credit: Future Liverpool's summer transfer business has gotten off to an incredibly exciting start. Trent Alexander-Arnold's early departure from Liverpool to Real Madrid has been confirmed, with the club set to make around £10 million for releasing him early, and Jeremie Frimpong is set to come in immediately as his replacement for just £29.5 million. Advertisement It now appears a deal for Florian Wirtz, who is ranked at no.3 in FourFourTwo's list of the best attacking midfielders in the world right now, is on the brink of being completed, with a monster bid tabled. Liverpool submit club record bid to sign Florian Wirtz Florian Wirtz opened the scoring at EURO 2024 with a goal against Scotland | Credit: Getty Images Wirtz is on of the hottest properties in world football right now, with plenty of suitors across Europe. His 15 goals and 16 assists in all competitions helped Bayer Leverkusen to second placed Bundesliga finish, a Champions League quarter-final and a DFB Pokal semi-final, while he won Bundesliga Player of the Season for a second year in a row. Florian Wirtz on the ball against Michael Olise in the Bundesliga | Credit: Getty Images It now appears Liverpool are prepared to break their club record transfer in order to bring him to Anfield. Advertisement Reliable transfer journalist David Ornstein of The Athletic reported that a bid worth €130 million (£109 million) has been submitted to Bayer Leverkusen from Liverpool to sign Wirtz. Sport BILD have suggested the breakdown would be a £100 million fixed fee, with around £10-12 million in bonuses. They suggest that the bonuses would include targets such as qualifying for and winning the Champions League. The report also suggests that a contract until 2030 has already been agreed between club and player, and that both clubs are closely aligned on the fee, so an agreement is 'a matter of time'. Liverpool manager Arne Slot with the Premier League trophy | Credit:It would represent a huge increase on the fee paid for Darwin Nunez in 2022, which was in the region of €85 million according to Transfermarkt, but would still be below what Chelsea paid for Enzo Fernandez, the most expensive Premier League signing ever, in 2023. FourFourTwo believes the move can only be a positive for Liverpool. It signals their intent to stay at the top of English football, and top class depth will help them as they look to achieve big on all fronts next season.

Apple is finally doing something about its confusing OS naming conventions
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. According to recent reports from an Apple Insider, Cupertino plans to consolidate its software stack under a single branding strategy, starting after WWDC later this month. Though the company refused to comment on rumors, Bloomberg spoke with Apple insiders who confirmed that iOS, macOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS will all see their disparate version names brought under a single umbrella. Like Microsoft, which named its Windows versions after the year they were released throughout the '90s and early '00s, Apple's new plan is to add the upcoming year to the end of each operating system. For example, while we currently have iOS 18 and watchOS 12 due to the respective distance in their original launch dates, they'll now be called iOS 26 and watchOS 26, respectively. This move also mirrors what Samsung did with its Galaxy phones starting in 2020, moving straight from the Galaxy S10 to the S20 that year. However, unlike Samsung, Apple will be naming for the year ahead. See also: WWDC 2025 preview: iOS 26, Apple's video game plans, Apple Intelligence, Mac Pro M4 Ultra The Bloomberberg report observes that iOS 26 will be launched in 2025, similar to how car manufacturers have operated their branding model for decades. The name changes aren't all we should expect from Cook and Co. this year, though. Early rumors suggest Apple also plans to renovate many aspects of iPad OS, bringing a more 'Mac-like' experience that includes improvements to productivity, app window management, and multitasking. Of course, a modern tech conference wouldn't be complete without an AI update. In that arena, reports say Apple could open up its AI models to third-party developers to take advantage of Apple Intelligence on supported devices. The company also reportedly has plans to launch a new 'AI-based battery management feature' to increase battery life for iPhones, whatever that's supposed to mean. Stay tuned for all the latest on June 9, when Apple leaders will take the stage at its annual developer conference.
