At MWC® 2026, Lenovo™ has pulled back the curtain on a new generation of adaptive AI devices and forward-thinking concepts tailored for business pros, creators, students, and gamers alike. Headlined by innovative modular PC architecture, a glasses-free 3D laptop concept, a foldable gaming handheld, and the initial rollout of Lenovo Qira, the brand’s showcase highlights a clear shift in personal computing: systems that adapt intelligently to people and their daily environments.

Across its entire portfolio, Lenovo stays focused on delivering tech that’s more personalized, proactive, and secure—all while building a unified AI ecosystem that works seamlessly across devices. 

“The AI era won’t be defined by a single device or app, but by intelligent systems that connect everything we use,” said Luca Rossi, President of Lenovo’s Intelligent Devices Group. “We’re showing how Lenovo and Motorola are bringing that vision to life, combining adaptive hardware innovation with a single, system-level AI integration that works naturally across PCs, smartphones, tablets, wearables, and more. From premium mobile devices and game-changing form factors to the launch of Lenovo Qira, we’re building the broadest AI portfolio to deliver more connected, intuitive computing experiences built around people.”

Lenovo Qira: Personal Ambient Intelligence

Lenovo Qira is a Personal Ambient Intelligence built right into the system level of Lenovo and Motorola devices—not added on as a separate app. Working across supported PCs, tablets, smartphones, and wearables, it’s designed to keep task continuity smooth across devices and offer assistance based on what the user needs.

In the coming weeks, Lenovo Qira will roll out to over 20 devices in the brand’s PC lineup, covering Yoga™, IdeaPad™, Legion™, and ThinkPad™ families, via over-the-air updates and preloads. The Idea Tab Pro Gen 2 will also launch as Lenovo’s first tablet to feature the experience. The first wave of PC support will cover six languages across nine regions: English (U.S., U.K., India), Spanish (U.S./Latin America, Spain), French (France), Italian (Italy), German (Germany), and Portuguese (Brazil).

Lenovo Qira is built to keep evolving, expanding to more devices and enabling new experiences and partnerships. In 2026, it will add more languages and devices, including its debut on Motorola smartphones—further strengthening the unified AI ecosystem across Lenovo and Motorola.

Breakthrough Concepts: Exploring Adaptive Form Factors 

ThinkBook™ Modular AI PC Concept

Lenovo’s modular AI PC concept takes a “carry small, use big” approach to business computing. It features a 14-inch ultra-thin base system that supports interchangeable display setups, detachable input parts, and modular I/O elements. A secondary display can attach in multiple orientations or even replace the keyboard, expanding the workspace to around 19 inches while keeping portability intact. The concept shows how modular design could support changing workflows and extend device lifecycles in AI-ready settings.

Yoga Book Pro 3D Concept

By combining dual displays, AI-powered 2D-to-3D conversion, gesture controls, and easy-to-use creative tools, it cuts down on friction in immersive content creation and points to Lenovo’s exploration of spatial computing.

Legion Go Fold Concept

Gamers get a look at a foldable gaming handheld concept that pushes flexible hardware further. It shifts from a compact handheld size to a larger, immersive screen and supports multiple modes: handheld play, split-screen multitasking, expanded display gaming, and desktop-style use. It’s a demonstration of how flexible display tech could blend gaming and productivity in one device.

Leave No One Behind: Converge’s Project PIGLET & Tech Donations Empower Mangyan Children for a Safer Internet

Converge extended more learning tablets to Stairway Foundation ICT Learning Center, building on its previous collaboration with the nonprofit to augment the digital capabilities of the students in the community.

Leading fiber broadband and tech provider Converge ICT Solutions Inc. recently made a return trip to Barangay Baclayan in Oriental Mindoro to celebrate Safer Internet Month. This time, they brought their online safety campaign right to the doors of Baclayan Mangyan School, all while giving the students’ digital skills a big boost.

Through its Corporate Governance and Data Privacy (CGDP) Group, Converge worked with Grade 5 and 6 pupils on Project PIGLET (Privacy Integration through Guided Learning of Emerging Technologies). It’s a program that’s all about helping school kids get a better handle on digital literacy and how to keep their data private and secure. 

Converge AVP and Head of Data Privacy and Information Security Compliance Team Eumir Paolo Espiritu as he facilitated the digital literacy session to the Grade 5 and 6 pupils of Baclayan Mangyan School.

Eumir Paolo Espiritu, Assistant Vice President and Head of Converge’s Data Privacy and Information Security Compliance Team, pointed out that kids these days are more at risk from cyber threats like scams, identity theft, malware, and computer viruses. He said that teaching them how to protect themselves as early as possible is why they launched Project PIGLET back in 2024.

“Converge intends to visit different regions across the country to reach the unserved and underserved and increase the awareness of kids when it comes to data privacy and information security. At Converge, we leave no one behind, so this Safer Internet Month, we visited the indigenous children here in Mindoro to also promote the more responsible and positive use of digital technology,” he shared. 

Converge also donated learning materials to support the immediate needs of the students and teachers of the school.

During their visit, Converge put together fun storytelling sessions and handed out school supplies and snacks to the kids. But they didn’t stop there—they also gave the school’s digital setup a major upgrade by donating learning tablets and a smart TV to the Stairway Foundation ICT Learning Center. This was all made possible with help from Stairway Foundation, a local child-care group that’s long been supporting the students’ learning journey.

“Dahil nga Mangyan school ang aming paaralan, kaunti ang access namin sa equipment kaya malaking tulong ang mga dagdag na kagamitan para sa pag-aaral ng mga bata. Mahalaga rin ang ganitong mga initiative para maging aware ang mga estudyante sa mga nangyayari sa kapaligiran at hindi lang sila gumagamit ng gadgets basta-basta,” said Noemi Bonquin, Head Teacher III of Baclayan Mangyan School.

Baclayan Mangyan School teaches nearly 250 students from different Mangyan tribes in Puerto Galera. Converge first connected with the Mangyan community in Barangay Baclayan back in 2023, also working with Stairway Foundation. That first partnership led to Converge setting up free fiber internet at the ICT Learning Center and donating tablets to help the kids build their digital skills.

On top of that, Converge has teamed up with the non-profit on wider online safety efforts, especially to fight against cyber threats—most importantly, the online sexual abuse and exploitation of children (OSAEC).

Connectbase Expands Connectivity Ecosystem in Southeast Asia Through Strategic Collaboration with Converge

Collaboration brings the Philippines’ fastest pure-fiber and subsea infrastructure into the global Connectbase ecosystem 

Connectbase, the Operating System for Connected Commerce, today announced a strategic collaboration with Converge ICT Solutions Inc. (Converge), the Philippines’ leading broadband and technology provider, further expanding the Connectbase ecosystem in Southeast Asia and strengthening global access to one of the region’s fastest-growing digital markets. Through the collaboration, Converge joins the Connectbase platform, making its fiber and subsea infrastructure digitally accessible to carriers and enterprises worldwide through automated, API-driven connectivity commerce.

The collaboration extends Connectbase’s global reach into the Philippines while opening Converge’s high-performance pure-fiber network to a broader international buyer community. Global carriers and enterprises can now instantly discover serviceability, pricing, and availability across millions of Philippine locations—replacing historically manual, email-driven sourcing processes with real-time automation.

“As AI workloads, cloud regionalization, and cross-border enterprise operations accelerate across Southeast Asia, access to automated, location-precise connectivity has become critical infrastructure, not a procurement convenience,” said Ben Edmond, CEO of Connectbase. “Converge has built a world-class fiber network, and Connectbase provides the digital transmission that makes it globally consumable, putting millions of Philippine locations instantly on the screens of the world’s largest network buyers.”

Converge operates one of the youngest and most advanced end-to-end pure-fiber networks in the Philippines, spanning more than 896,000 kilometers,covering nearly 60% of the Philippine households. The company has also invested in major trans-Pacific subsea cable systems, directly connecting the Philippines to the United States, Singapore, and Hong Kong, strengthening regional and global connectivity resilience.

“This joint effort represents a major milestone in making the Philippines fully accessible to the global connectivity economy,” said Dennis Anthony H. Uy, CEO and Co-Founder of Converge. “By joining the Connectbase ecosystem, we are enabling carriers and enterprises worldwide to engage with our network in seconds rather than days, while supporting the continued growth of Southeast Asia’s digital economy.”

By onboarding to the Connectbase Seller Cloud, Converge transitions from manual quoting to automated responses, enabling rapid participation in global RFPs, greater visibility with international buyers, and reduced order fallout through precise, location-level serviceability data. Buyers gain access not only to high-quality fiber, but also to resilient, low-latency routes critical for cloud, enterprise, and BPO traffic.

“Buyers sourcing connectivity in the Philippines can now reduce sourcing cycles from weeks to minutes, while sellers gain immediate visibility into global demand without incremental sales overhead,” added Edmond. “This collaboration reinforces Connectbase’s role as the platform enabling global connectivity commerce, connecting buyers to trusted infrastructure in every major region.”

Beavers bring an unpredictable and unhinged comedy in new Disney and Pixar film "Hoppers"

The animated comedy that critics call “Pixar’s funniest movie ever” is now showing in cinemas nationwide

When the animal kingdom is faced with the threat of the destruction of their homes, it’s up to a passionate animal-loving teenager to save the day. In Disney and Pixar’s new comedy adventure “Hoppers,” its protagonist Mabel goes from fighting against the town’s mayor to hopping her consciousness into a robot beaver– all in the hopes of stopping the human threat. If that sounds like a loaded premise, it’s because it is; making “Hoppers” a wild and unexpected comedy that will leave audiences laughing out loud.

Now showing in Philippines cinemas nationwide, “Hoppers” delivers a unique comedic tone and fun characters as Mabel hops into beaver form to explore the many wonders of the animal kingdom.

“The thing that always guided us was the comedy and the characters,” says director Daniel Chong (“We Bare Bears”). “That was what we chased the hardest. We knew it was our team’s strong suit, and we made sure early on to establish a unique comedic tone with fun characters to build everything on.”

“A story like this, with characters arguing constantly, has to be funny,” adds producer Nicole Paradis Grindle (“Incredibles 2”). “We wanted it to have emotion and feature a ton of action, too. It’s even a thriller when you get to the final scenes. But the humor was the initial key, since it brings people in. It’s an amazing story to tell in animation, this idea that we can see into that animal world and enjoy animals, as animals.”

In “Hoppers,” two worlds hang in the balance. The animal world, threatened by Mayor Jerry Generazzo (voiced by Jon Hamm) and the human world, threatened by retaliation from the animals. Finding herself in a bit of a pickle is Mabel (voiced by Piper Curda), a passionate animal lover that will use new technology to “hop” into a life-like robotic beaver, and will try to mend the situation between both worlds. What follows is a story filled with a lot of fun twists and turns, with loads of laughter and glade-saving action in between.

“Hoppers” also features the voices of Bobby Moynihan, Dave Franco, and Meryl Streep.

Lenovo and Asian Hospital Strengthen Healthcare Delivery Through Standardized, Reliable PC Infrastructure

Lenovo has partnered with Asian Hospital and Medical Center to enhance clinical efficiency and accelerate the hospital’s digital transformation by standardizing endpoint devices across the institution. As part of the Metro Pacific Hospital (MPH) Group—which operates nearly 30 hospitals nationwide—Asian Hospital has been at the forefront of MPH’s initiative to unify and modernize PC infrastructure across its network. 

Asian Hospital, a premier tertiary institution located in the southern part of Metro Manila, is recognized as one of the group’s largest and most advanced facilities. Leading this effort is Frank N. Vibar, Chief Information Officer (CIO), who oversees hospital information systems (HIS), electronic medical records (EMR), network and data center infrastructure, and all end-user computing devices. 

“Our mandate is not just to digitize,” says Frank N. Vibar, CIO, Asian Hospital and Medical Center. “Our mandate is to ensure that every piece of technology we deploy ultimately makes it easier for our clinicians to deliver safe, efficient, and high-quality patient care.” 

Addressing Device Instability Affecting Patient Care

Prior to standardizing with Lenovo, Asian Hospital was using a wide mix of devices from multiple brands, resulting in inconsistencies in performance and reliability. Slowdowns, crashes, and unexpected shutdowns frequently disrupted clinical workflows, including medical record access and documentation. Device-related concerns were averaging over 200 support calls per month, often requiring urgent interventions from IT staff to keep care activities running. 

“In a hospital context, a failing laptop is not just an inconvenience—it has a direct impact on patient care,” explains Vibar. “If a doctor is recording diagnoses or reviewing patient data and the device slows down or crashes, it disrupts the entire care process and creates frustration for both clinician and patient.” 

This environment prompted Asian Hospital to seek a partner capable of delivering predictable, stable, and reliable end-user devices designed to support life-critical healthcare operations.

A Strategic Partnership for Standardization and Performance

Asian Hospital selected Lenovo for its strong reputation for reliability, enterprise-grade support, and robust product development.

“We needed a partner that could provide stability, consistency, and reliability—both in the devices themselves and in the support behind them,” says Vibar. “Lenovo gave us confidence that we could standardize without sacrificing performance or availability.” 

Through close coordination, Lenovo and Asian Hospital aligned device categories to specific user workflows—for finance, HR, mobile users, nurse stations, ER units, and clinical areas requiring barcode-scanning for closed-loop medication workflows.

“We know our workflow and Lenovo knows its products,” Vibar shares. “By collaborating on user profiles and device types, we were able to match our requirements with the right endpoints and ensure that every device deployed delivers real value to the user.” 

Transformative Results: From 200 Monthly Issues to Almost Zero

The transition to Lenovo devices has produced measurable improvements across Asian Hospital. As legacy devices were replaced with Lenovo units, monthly incident reports dropped from over 200 tickets to almost zero in Lenovo-equipped areas. 

“As we gradually replaced legacy devices with Lenovo, complaints about performance and breakdowns from our doctors and nurses went from over 200 tickets a month to almost zero,” says Vibar. “That translates directly into smoother access to our hospital information system and electronic medical records, and ultimately, better continuity of patient care.” 

The hospital also observed dramatically improved system performance, as doctors and nurses reported faster workflows and more stable access to HIS and EMR systems.

With endpoint issues nearly eliminated and more efficient IT operations, IT staff are now able to focus on upskilling in cybersecurity, networking, data analytics and AI integration. Additionally, with expanded availability of devices in critical areas, workflow analyses led to the deployment of additional Lenovo units in high-demand areas such as the Emergency Room. Signifying strong clinician satisfaction, users in Lenovo-enabled areas are now proactively requesting replacement of older units, signaling clear preference and confidence in the new standardized devices. 

Asian Hospital’s Vision and Lenovo’s Role

As part of the MPH Group, Asian Hospital is pursuing its vision of becoming a flagship smart hospital—both within the organization and across the Philippine healthcare sector.

“Asian Hospital aims to be a flagship smart hospital for our group and for the Philippines,” Vibar affirms. “We want to keep Filipino patients from having to go abroad for care, and at the same time attract patients from other countries.” 

With Lenovo as a long-term strategic partner, the hospital is ready to pilot new healthcare use cases, technologies, and innovations proven in hospitals abroad.

“If Lenovo has hospital use cases that are already tried and tested elsewhere, bring them here and we will help test them,” says Vibar. “If we see that a technology can improve healthcare delivery and patient care, we are ready to adopt it.” 

Asian Hospital’s partnership with Lenovo underscores its commitment to advancing digital healthcare and delivering reliable, patient-centered services supported by smart, standardized technology.
