Lenovo just revealed a new smartglasses concept design at CES 2026. The appropriately-named Lenovo AI Glasses Concept promises to transform "how users interact with their surroundings and unifies their workflow."
They look like a standard pair of specs and not all that different from something like Meta's Ray-Ban Display glasses. A pair weighs just 45 grams and the battery lasts eight hours, which is just enough time to get through a standard workday.
The glasses are wirelessly tethered to a smart device, which is what does most of the computational heavy lifting. They do include Lenovo and Motorola's proprietary AI platform called Qira, which delivers "sub-millisecond live translation and intelligent image recognition." There's also something called the Catch Me Up feature, which is an AI-generated recap of various notifications from various devices.
The hardware allows for touch and voice control and includes teleprompter software. The concept glasses include speakers, as Lenovo is advertising music playback as a feature.
We don't know when or if these smart glasses will ever hit store shelves. Lenovo tends to drop several intriguing concept designs each year at CES and not all of them make it to market.

Lenovo has experimented more with laptops featuring rollable displays than pretty much any other PC maker and at CES 2026 it's keeping that trend going with the XD Rollable Concept.
Equipped with a 180-degree Gorilla Glass Victus 2 cover, the XD Rollable concept features a very futuristic design. However, underneath, it has the same basic engineering as last year's ThinkBook Plus Gen 6. That means with the touch of a button, its 13.3-inch flexible OLED display can expand to 16 inches, which gives you around 50 percent extra screen space in just a few seconds. The main difference with Lenovo's latest concept is that instead of hiding the unused section of its rollable display underneath its keyboard, the XD's panel wraps up and over its lid to create a "world-facing" display around back. This allows people sitting on the other side of the laptop to see content, with the laptop capable of mirroring elements from its main display or using that space as a small secondary monitor.
Now I will admit that after seeing the XD Rollable in person, its design does feel a bit gimmicky. Even though Lenovo's space-themed animation that appears when the laptop's display extends is pretty slick, I'm not sure how helpful that world-facing display really is. In normal use, you can't even see it because it's on the other side of the lid and while I suppose you could utilize that area for meetings or presentations, I think most people would be much better off simply connecting the no

Carpet cleaners aren't new, but a robot vacuum that can wash and dry carpets is. I saw the first at CES 2026, and as a bonus, it's even modular.
