The Lenovo Modular AI PC concept is a remixed dual-screen laptop with hot swappable ports

Modular laptops haven't fully realized their potential, but Lenovo's Modular AI PC concept aims to change that. This concept features two displays and a detachable keyboard for increased adaptability. Unlike Framework, Lenovo's design focuses on hot-swappable components within a 14-inch chassis. The secondary display can attach to the lid for face-to-face sharing or be moved to the side for a dual-monitor setup. Users can also configure the second screen vertically or horizontally, catering to diverse tasks. The keyboard connects via pogo pins or Bluetooth, allowing for flexible placement. Moreover, the laptop boasts hot-swappable ports, like USB-C, USB-A, and HDMI, with the potential for more. Despite being a concept, the device felt polished, with sturdy build quality and seamless component swapping. Performance seemed snappy, but the role of "AI" in its functionality remains unclear. Despite the impressive design, Lenovo has no plans to produce a retail version. The reviewer hopes Lenovo considers incorporating some features, like the hot-swappable ports, into future products.
