Overview

• Lenovo unveiled the 14-inch ThinkBook VertiFlex Concept whose display pivots 90 degrees within the lid to switch into portrait orientation.
• The clamshell weighs about 3.06 pounds and is 0.7 inches thick, with two USB‑C/Thunderbolt ports plus USB‑A, HDMI, 3.5mm audio and a microSD slot.
• A separate Smart Motion Concept stand uses the laptop’s webcam for face tracking to raise, lower, tilt and turn the machine, and it includes cooling fans, a USB hub and optional AI Ring gesture control.
• Hands-on reports said the VertiFlex rotates easily with one hand and felt sturdy in demos, while some testers found the stand’s tracking unreliable when faces move out of view or multiple people are in frame.
• Both devices remain concepts with no pricing or release plans, and reviewers note the VertiFlex’s simple pivot mechanism could make it more viable than costlier rollable or motorized designs.
