enovo is bringing a futuristic twist to laptop ergonomics with its Smart Motion Concept stand, unveiled at IFA 2025. The stand automatically raises, tilts, and swivels to keep your laptop at eye level, adjusting to your posture in real time. Think of it as Apple’s Center Stage but instead of just tracking your face, the entire laptop setup moves with you.
A Laptop Stand That Follows Your Movements
At a preview demo, the Smart Motion stand impressed with its ability to track users as they moved around a table. It smoothly adjusted side-to-side and up-and-down, keeping the laptop’s display aligned with eye level. Lenovo even showcased a playful “dance mode,” where the stand cycled through its full range of motion to music more quirky than TikTok-worthy, but enough to show off its flexibility.
Cooling and Connectivity
Beyond its motion-tracking features, the stand doubles as a built-in cooling system and USB hub. By connecting via USB, Lenovo’s software leverages the laptop’s webcam to keep users in frame. It also supports multiple control methods:
- Remote control for manual adjustments
- Hand gestures when paired with Lenovo’s experimental AI Ring
This makes it not only a productivity tool but also a potential accessibility solution for users with mobility challenges.
Inspired by Lenovo’s Auto Twist Concept
The Smart Motion stand builds on Lenovo’s earlier Auto Twist laptop concept, which could rotate its screen to face the user. By separating the technology into a stand, Lenovo hints at a future where laptops adapt seamlessly to their users whether for productivity, comfort, or accessibility needs.
When Will It Launch?
For now, the Smart Motion laptop stand remains a concept device, and Lenovo hasn’t confirmed a commercial release date. However, if it reaches the market, it could redefine ergonomic laptop use and serve as a smart solution for professionals, creators, and accessibility-focused users alike.
