Lenovo unveiled the ThinkBook Modular AI PC at Mobile World Congress 2026, a laptop concept featuring a detachable second screen magnetically mounted to the back. The secondary display connects via pogo-pin connectors and offers multiple configurations: displaying content during presentations while attached to the back, functioning as a standalone portable monitor when removed and positioned beside the main screen, or replacing the keyboard base for a tablet-like setup. The modular design addresses multi-screen computing needs without requiring additional hardware purchases. Lenovo regularly showcases innovative laptop concepts at major tech events, with some eventually becoming commercial products.
