FULL STORY
======================================================================Lenovo's
 AI Display comes with a built-in NPU for controlling the screen It can also 
add AI functionality to non-AI desktop and laptop PCs Theres no word on 
pricing or availability, but hopefully Lenovo will bring it out soon 

You cant have failed to notice, but AI is everywhere these days. Its being 
embedded in hardware, software, and services, making it a key selling point 
for new devices. If you're looking to buy a high-end business laptop , 
chances are it will feature the latest Intel or AMD chip with a built-in NPU 
and likely include a Copilot button for AI-powered assistance as well. 

At MWC 2025, Lenovo introduced a number of new laptops, including upgrades to 
its ThinkPad and ThinkBook lineups, and of course they have all been 
optimized to handle AI workflows. If youre in the market for a new laptop and 
want to use it for AI tasks, youre spoiled for choice. 

But what if you dont want or need a new laptop, or cant afford the latest 
model, but still want to benefit from on-device AI? The answer might be to 
purchase a new monitor. Yes, that sounds ridiculous, but one of Lenovos 
proof-of-concepts unveiled at MWC 2025 is an AI screen which can transfer its 
smart powers to a connected laptop or desktop system. Adding AI smarts to 
your PC 

Called the AI Display, Lenovos concept comes with a discrete NPU inside the 
screen, not that youd be able to tell by looking at it. Lenovo says this is 
another demonstration of its commitment to smarter technology for all. 

The dNPU not only expands the monitors capabilities - automatically rotating, 
elevating, and tilting the screen to give users the best viewing angle based 
on their seating position - but also adds intelligent functionality to non-AI 
PCs. 

Lenovo says, With the AI Display with NPU inside, non-AI PCs will be able to 
use Large Language Models, receiving commands from the user, analyzing and 
recognizing the intent, and allowing the Assistant to execute the request. 

Its only a concept at the moment, as is the AI Stick (also unveiled at MWC), 
which brings artificial intelligence to non-AI PCs without requiring you to 
buy a new screen. 

Theres no hint of when (or if) Lenovo plans to bring the AI Display to 
market, or how much it might cost. It is a genius idea though, and one that 
could be a welcome gamechanger, provided it launches soon enough to 
capitalize on the AI boom. You might also like These are the best business
