By AIT News Desk On Jan 12, 2024

Next-generation Lenovo™ Yoga™ laptops with the Lenovo Yoga Creator Zone are exclusively designed for creatives to harness the potential of AI and spark unlimited imagination.

CES 2024, Lenovo showcased its latest repertoire of new consumer devices: A selection of Yoga AI laptops that supercharge the creative process, a tablet that invites users to play and learn, IdeaPad laptops designed for the everyday user, and peripherals for the modern world.

“Modern consumers need solutions that adapt to their evolving needs, and our latest selection of portable devices addresses those needs with thoughtful technologies, including AI,” said Jun Ouyang, Lenovo’s Vice President and General Manager of the Consumer Business Segment, Intelligent Devices Group. “Our vision of delivering ‘AI for all’ places the individual user at the center, while emphasizing privacy and security.”

Seeing is Believing – The Power and Flexibility of AI

Ushering in a new era, Lenovo’s newest lineup of Microsoft Windows 11 Lenovo Yoga laptops come with Lenovo Yoga Creator Zone, an exclusive new software for creators, artists, and anybody looking to harness the power of generative AI in a simple and private way with security in mind. As an imagination sparkplug, Lenovo Yoga Creator Zone offers image generation, which transforms text-based descriptions or even sketches into stunning visuals without complex prompts, codes, or setups. Users simply type whatever they want to see, and the system instantly creates a visual representation.

A unique feature that offers added privacy and security features, Lenovo Yoga Creator Zone is client-based, meaning that it can work offline and does not require an internet connection. With next-generation Yoga laptops, creativity is personalized and controlled by the user and not the web, meaning they can generate an image of virtually anything a user can describe, add color to prose, bring poetry to life, and prove that seeing is really believing.

For Lenovo Yoga Pro devices with dedicated GPUs, including up to NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4070 Laptop GPU, Lenovo Yoga Creator Zone also comes with Image Training, a Lenovo feature that allows users to train a personalized model that is stored locally on the device. With each image or set of images provided, the Lenovo Yoga Pro laptop can learn and create images that match the user’s style and preferences. Those preferring cubism will see it consistently incorporated without needing to describe it while those preferring pop art will not see cubism in their works. With Image Training, results are a tailored, unique reflection of each user.

A Lenovo Yoga for Every Creative
