Lenovo used its Innovation World event at IFA 2026 in Berlin to unveil a fresh wave of Yoga devices aimed squarely at creators and developers.

The lineup includes two premium laptops built around NVIDIA’s new RTX Spark platform, two pen-first tablets, a cross-device concept called Lenovo Smart Canvas, and updates to Lenovo’s Qira AI assistant.

The idea running through all of it is reducing friction as a project moves from a sketch or a spoken idea through editing, coding or rendering, and eventually to a finished piece of work.

The Yoga Pro 9n is the performance flagship of the update. It’s built around NVIDIA RTX Spark, pairing an NVIDIA Grace CPU (up to 20 cores) with a Blackwell RTX GPU (up to 6,144 cores) and up to 128GB of 9400 MT/s unified memory.

That’s a serious spec sheet for a 15.3-inch laptop weighing from 1.65kg, and it’s aimed at people running local AI development, 3D rendering or video editing rather than relying on cloud compute.

Because it sits on the RTX platform, it also supports proper RTX gaming, so it’s positioned as a machine that can do demanding creative work during the day and handle modern games in the evening.

The 15.3-inch PureSight Pro OLED display runs at 2.5K resolution with a 48-165Hz variable refresh rate, 1100 nits peak brightness, and 100% coverage of both sRGB and P3.

Lenovo’s X Power thermal system is there to keep that hardware fed with sustained performance in a relatively slim chassis, and there’s a haptic Force Pad with pen support alongside a 9.2MP IR camera for calls.

The 9n 2-in-1 takes the same RTX Spark foundation (with up to 64GB of unified memory this time) and puts it in Lenovo’s familiar 360-degree convertible shell, so it moves between Laptop, Tablet, Tent, Stand and Canvas modes.

The standout feature is dual-surface pen input: you can draw directly on the 16-inch 2.8K PureSight Pro OLED display or on the haptic Force Pad, whichever suits the task. The Yoga Pen Gen 2 supplies low-latency, tilt-sensitive, palm-rejecting input across either surface.

The display itself runs up to 120Hz, with the same HDR, Dolby Vision and colour accuracy claims as its laptop sibling.

Audio comes from a six-speaker Dolby Atmos setup with tweeters built into the rotating soundbar, so they stay front-firing no matter which mode the laptop is in.

It’s clearly the flexibility pick of the two, aimed at people who need convertible versatility and precise pen input rather than outright performance headroom.

Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 and Yoga Tab Gen 2

Alongside the laptops, Lenovo refreshed its Yoga tablet line with two pen-first devices built around Lenovo Qira and a set of native AI features (AI Vision, Smart AI Input, AI Creation Tools, AI Note and Live Transcript). Both support gesture controls like Click to Draw, Squeeze to Select and Flip to Erase, along with 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity.

The Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 is the larger, more capable of the two: a 13-inch 4K PureSight Pro display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform, up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, an optional magnetic clamshell keyboard, and Harman Kardon audio. It’s aimed at digital artists and designers who want a detailed canvas and enough power to treat the tablet as a genuine productivity device.

The Yoga Tab Gen 2 is the portability-led option: an 11.1-inch 4K display, MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chipset, a lighter 480g body, and a detachable 2-in-1 keyboard pack. Both tablets ship on Android 17 with seven planned OS upgrades through Android 24 and up to seven years of security updates through 2033, which is a notably long support window for an Android tablet.

Lenovo Smart Canvas Concept and Qira

Lenovo Smart Canvas Concept is being shown off rather than sold outright for now. It’s a cross-device concept designed to let an idea started on one Lenovo device (say, a sketch on the Yoga Tab Gen 2) continue seamlessly on another, like the Yoga AIO i Aura Edition all-in-one.

Underpinning it is Lenovo Qira, the company’s ambient AI assistant, which is meant to retain context and help pick up work where it left off as it moves between devices.

Pricing and Availability

Lenovo hasn’t confirmed pricing or availability dates for the Yoga Pro 9n (15”) or the Yoga 9n 2-in-1 (16”) yet, so Irish pricing and stockists like Harvey Norman or Currys will have to wait for a later announcement.

For the tablets, Lenovo has given estimated European pricing including tax:

  • Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2: from €849, expected from September 2026
  • Yoga Tab Gen 2: from €649, expected from September 2026

No Irish-specific pricing or retailer listings have been confirmed yet, but expect these to land through Lenovo’s usual channels once the tablets are closer to launch.
