This stand can routinely carry, tilt, and switch your laptop computer towards you

Lenovo’s Smart Motion Concept laptop computer stand, introduced at IFA 2025, routinely raises and lowers itself and turns and tilts to place your laptop computer at an ergonomic eye degree. It’s rather a lot like an amped-up Apple Center Stage webcam, however the entire laptop computer adapts to you and your posture.

That’s principally what it felt like when it was demoed for me at a current preview occasion, the place it tracked me facet to facet and up and down round a desk. In one other demo, it did a “dance” the place it ran by way of its full vary of movement to some tacky music. (More Elaine than any TikTok-level choreography.)

The stand’s different options embody built-in cooling followers and a USB hub. The USB connection permits Lenovo’s software program to make use of the webcam to maintain the consumer in body. In addition to face monitoring, the stand is controllable with a distant or by way of hand gestures whereas carrying Lenovo’s AI Ring — one other idea it confirmed again at MWC.

The Smart Motion stand was born from Lenovo’s Auto Twist idea, a laptop computer that turned its display screen to face you. Lenovo envisions that, ought to a product with this tech ever launch, a part of its position might be to satisfy accessibility wants in a wide range of laptops.
