Lenovo said that its newest transparent product runs on Windows 11, much like many other high-end solutions, but it did not provide any hardware-related specs. In addition to the translucent display, Lenovo's concept film featured a flat touch keyboard—a projection rather than a physical keyboard—that begins to vanish as soon as the pen is in close proximity to the Thinkbook.

In addition to the concept laptop, the company also unveiled its latest generation of ThinkPad lineup, which includes the ThinkPad T14 i Gen 5, ThinkPad T14s Gen 5, ThinkPad T16 Gen 3, ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2, and ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 4.
