While most people at Mobile World Congress who talk about Lenovo will probably be discussing its various concept devices. Lenovo is also showing off a series of new laptops that we know for a fact it will actually go on sale.

Among them, Lenovo is adding to its Aura Edition collection with the Yoga Pro 9i, while also updating numerous ThinkPads.

The Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition — furthering Lenovo's partnership on flagship products with Intel inside — is effectively a workstation class product mixing Core Ultra processors up to an Ultra 9 285H with Nvidia graphics up to a GeForce RTX 5070. That's alongside 64GB of LPDDR5X dual-channel RAM and up to 1TB of PCIe SSD storage. Unsurprisingly, that power is being pushed as a way to run on-device AI.

The 16-inch display will go up to a 3200 x 2000, 120 Hz tandem OLED panel panel with up to 1600 nits peak brightness that Lenovo is calling PureSight Pro. There's also a 5MP webcam, Wi-Fi 7, and a mix of USB Type-C (Thunderbolt 4 and USB 4 at 40 GBps) and USB-A ports.

Lenovo describes the laptop as using "on-device AI," including Lenovo Creator Zone and Lenovo X Power, the latter which tunes performance with machine learning.

The Yoga Pro 9i will share the Smart Modes, Smart Share (for moving images between your laptop, Android phones, and iPhones), and premium troubleshooting support from Lenovo technicians offered with other Aura Edition-branded machines.

The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 will launch in Q2 with a planned starting price of $1,799. A smaller version, the 7i Aura Edition, won't be sold in North America.

    How much RAM is in the RTX 5070 Mobile? Something that should be in the article.

    That tandem OLED is all I needed to see, I'm buying this. Its even enough to make me overlook the unnecessary number pad and forget the whole Superfish thing that they are probably still doing.
