The unveilings include the Lenovo Yoga AIO 7, seemingly named for its ability to assume multiple positionings during use. Using a rotatable hinge, the 27-inch 4K IPS display is able to shift from landscape or portrait mode depending on one's preference or the task at hand. Additionally, the screen can also tilt 20 degrees enabling a wide range of viewing angles.
The all-in-one model packs up to an AMD Ryzen 7 4800H processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 GPU. The desktop features a Cloud Grey and Moon White color scheme, JBL Harman-certified speakers, and a built-in microphones.
Lenovo explained that wireless casting hardware offers wireless screen activation using a smartphone or tablet, eliminating the need to physically switch on the desktop. Content automatically shifts on screen as the panel is rotated and a future update will allow people to use the monitor as a 4K smart TV, according to the company.

Lenovo also released two monitors, the Lenovo L24i-30 and L27e-30. The Lenovo L24i-30 includes a 23.8-inch Full HD 1920 x 1080 display and metal stand. The Lenovo L27e-30 has a 27-inch display and a Graphite Grey stand. The monitors are framed in Raven Black. The monitors are designed to minimize flickers and reduce blue light, the latter of which could help reduce screen-related impacts on circadian rhythms. The monitor stands feature a smartphone holder and other design elements to keep cables orderly.
