During this week a new edition of the Mobile World Congress, one of the reference appointments of the mobile telephony, technology and telecommunications industry. It has been the scenario chosen by Lenovo To present a new concept of laptop, fed by solar energy.

Under the name Yoga Solar PCthe device is designed, as the company has moved, to reduce the dependence of the electricity and cables, and therefore, the environmental impact, and favor the activity of the users in open spaces.
The computer would be part of the Yoga de Lenovo brand.

“It is designed for those who convert any space, interior or exterior, into a productive work space”, Explain from Lenovo in a statement. “The device aims to close the gap between functionality and environmental awareness and represents Lenovo’s vision of achieving a future where renewable energy and innovation are intrinsically intertwined”

This is sought by integrating A solar panel on the laptop cover. In this way, you can take advantage of the light of any source to increase its battery, but the greatest energy will be obtained when using it outdoors in a clear and sunny day. The panel is composed of 84 cells that have “Back Contact Cell” technology, so that panel assembly supports and electrical contacts that collect and transfer the energy generated are behind the solar cells. This maximizes active absorption.

The design, according to Lenovo, would allow the computer to reach a conversion rate (the amount of captured sunlight that becomes usable electricity) of more than 24%, which would mean one of the highest in the industry.
The company also points out that the system is designed to automatically adjust the charger configuration and prioritize the sending of the energy collected, which helps guarantee maximum energy savings and system stability regardless of light intensity.

This implies that even in low light conditions, The panel can continue to generate energy and maintain the battery charge when the computer is inactive. As they move from Lenovo, it would suffice with 20 minutes of sufficient direct sunlight to feed up to an hour of video playback.
The computer would be equipped with the Lenovo Dynamic Solar Software, to show how much current and voltage the solar panel is producing.

The company also emphasizes that Yoga Solar would have an ultrafine and light design, since it would have only 15 millimeters thick and think 1.22 kilos. Also, among other features, the device would have a 14 -inch screen and a 32 gigas RAM, according to The Verge.

Next to the laptop, Lenovo has also created A portable solar panel and removable which can be connected via USB-C to devices. As noted, it is inspired by the same technology and seeks to optimize the use of solar energy. It can be carried in a bag or backpack and load anywhere where there is sunlight.

Yoga Solar supposes a concept of test and Lenovo has not confirmed whether it will officially put it in production, or when it could reach the market and make users available.

Lenovo’s drop -down screen computer

Among other novelties, Lenovo has also presented a concept of proof for a Thinkbook laptop With flexible screen. Under the nickname Flip, The company ensures that it represents the next evolution in adaptive formats driven by artificial intelligence, and that it will improve the way professionals interact with workflows.

Its main feature is based on its Extensible screen in vertical format. The computer has a 13 -inch main screen that can extend up to 18.1 inches, which facilitates, according to Lenovo, a work space expanded vertically to improve productivity, multitasking and collaboration.

In this sense, the screen would have Five different positions: the CLAMSHELL mode for traditional laptop tasks; the vertical mode for document review; the Share mode for collaboration with two screens; Tablet mode for creative workflows; and Read mode for reading.
