Hey 3D artists, do any of you actually want a laptop like this?

One of Lenovo’s MWC 2026 concepts is the Yoga Book Pro 3D, a chonky dual-screen laptop with glasses-free 3D. You can see models in 3D, control them via hand tracking, and drop custom tools on the lower screen with specialized cutouts.

Check out our hands-on video. Is this concept cool, weird, or something else?

Here comes another gaming laptop built around integrated graphics.

Lenovo’s 15-inch Legion 7A is its first with an AMD Strix Halo APU. The 7A will charge via 180W USB-C and be configurable with a gaming-focused Ryzen AI Max Plus 392.

It launches in July from $2,299, competing with Asus’ upcoming TUF Gaming A14. Remember, integrated graphics are good now.

<em>The display will be a 15.3-inch OLED with 2560 x 1600 resolution and 165Hz variable refresh rate, rated for 500 nits of brightness.</em>
<em>On the right are one USB4, one USB-A 3.2, an SD card slot, and a webcam kill switch.</em>
<em>On the left are one USB4, one USB-C 3.2, one USB-A 3.2, a 3.5mm audio jack, and HDMI 2.1.</em>
<em>The Legion 7A will be configurable with up to 2TB of storage and 64GB of RAM.</em>

This $299 mechanical keyboard has a giant glowing knob.

The Yoga Creative Keyboard Angry Miao Edition is Lenovo’s latest collaboration with Angry Miao. Based on the Dry Studio ATM 98, it features silent switches, a translucent top, and an oversized RGB-illuminated volume knob that’s customizable to control creative apps. Lenovo’s model adds a USB-C hub and a key for audio controls on select Yoga devices.

<em>The top half of the case is see-through plastic, allowing the per-key RGB lighting to shine. The bottom half is aluminum, and the whole keyboard weighs a hefty 5.73 pounds / 2.6kg.</em>
<em>The ring-shaped knob controls volume by default, but Lenovo indicates it can be used for functions like controlling playheads in video or audio editing apps.</em>
<em>There’s more RGB lighting within the knob itself. Because of course.</em>
<em>The 1800 layout offers a number pad in a slightly smaller package than full-size keyboards.</em>
<em>Two USB-C data ports allow the keyboard to act like a mini hub. The scare quotes make this “hub” look a bit sarcastic, but it sounds genuinely useful.</em>
<em>Lenovo didn’t specify what switches are in its new keyboard, but they look just like the <a href="https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/products/bsun-light-sakura-silent-37g-linear-pcb-mount-switch" target="_blank">Bsun Light Sakura silent linear switches</a> in the <a href="https://store.dry---studio.com/products/atm-98?srsltid=AfmBOoq4ZewMR_9zElyqjbaIXENnn9ZenHg6AIuRD5CGpVTIes7as8y7&variant=53076946944273#:~:text=Bsun%20Light%20Sakura%20Switch%3A%20Smooth%20and%20Silent" target="_blank">ATM 98</a>.</em>

Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos says he’s not pivoting to another studio after losing out on Warner Bros.

In an interview with Bloomberg, he explained why he backed out of the deal and said Netflix pursued Warner because it was a unique opportunity. “We definitely wanted this asset. We didn’t need it,” he said, praising its “incredible IP” and long history. But he was clear the plan was to just move on:

Is there a world in which you guys go after another studio in the next 6 to 12 months?

Unlikely. We are builders, not buyers. All that is still true.

So how are you going to use that $2.8 billion?

Just keep investing in the business.

We finally saw the Robot Phone move.

Honor’s gimbal-equipped smartphone is here at MWC, and unlike at CES, it’s actually turned on. I got to see the phone unfold, look around, and dance to Imagine Dragons, and Honor has promised me I should see a few new demos on its booth tomorrow.

Some people made a lot of money on suspiciously timed bets about bombing Iran.

Every time there’s a major event, it seems like some people head to Polymarket to make a quick buck at just the right time. It happened with the Super Bowl, with Nicolás Maduro, and now with Iran. In total, over $529 million was traded related to the timing of the strikes, but according to Bloomberg:

Six accounts on Polymarket made around $1 million in profit by betting on the US to strike Iran by Feb. 28, according to analytics firm Bubblemaps SA. The accounts were all freshly created in February and had only ever placed bets on when US strikes might occur. Some of their shares were purchased, in some cases at roughly a dime apiece, hours before the first explosions were reported in Tehran.

Apple’s touchscreen MacBook Pro won’t be some sort of iPad hybrid.

MacBook will get more touch-friendly before 2026 is out, and there’s supposedly a foldable 18-inch iPad in the works, but Apple has no intention of merging the two product lines anytime soon. Execs have remained steadfast in their dedication to keeping the two things separate. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman:

The company argues that it produces better devices by separating the categories, but there’s also a business consideration. Internally, executives believe that a hybrid plan would hurt sales. Apple generates roughly $30 billion annually from each category, adding up to $61.7 billion last year. That’s a hugely material slice of its overall business.
