With IFA around the corner, the leaks and teasers regarding products that will be shown off at the upcoming trade show have started to emerge. The latest leak out of Lenovo, courtesy of @evleaks on X , purports to show off a laptop with a display that rotates from landscape to portrait orientation. This follows Lenovo's most recent prototype-turned-product, the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable , which used flexible OLED display tech to make a display that extends vertically, from 14 inches to 16.7 inches. Currently, it's unclear whether Lenovo actually plans to launch the laptop as a real product, but it will likely use IFA and subsequent trade shows to gauge consumer interest, as it did with the rollable laptop.

Ostensibly, the new prototype Lenovo will show off at IFA is being called Project Pivo, and instead of relying on a traditional 3:2 or 16:10 aspect ratio to maximize vertical screen real-estate for productivity workloads, the Pivo seems to use a regular 16:9 panel and rotate it vertically instead. Theoretically, this makes sense from both an ergonomics and optimization standpoint. When you're consuming media, 16:9 is still a fairly common aspect ratio that avoids black bars and wasted screen space on most media, but for longer work sessions at a desk or with the laptop on your lap, having the top edge of the display as close to your eye level is beneficial for ergonomics. Supposedly, Lenovo will also show off two new tablets—the Yoga Tab and IdeaPad Plus—and the new Legion Go 2 at IFA.
