Lenovo’s Smart Motion Concept laptop stand, announced at IFA 2025, automatically raises and lowers itself and turns and tilts to position your laptop at an ergonomic eye level. It’s a lot like an amped-up Apple Center Stage webcam, but the whole laptop adapts to you and your posture.
That’s basically what it felt like when it was demoed for me at a recent preview event, where it tracked me side to side and up and down around a table. In another demo, it did a “dance†where it ran through its full range of motion to some cheesy music. (More Elaine than any TikTok-level choreography.)
The stand’s other features include built-in cooling fans and a USB hub. The USB connection allows Lenovo’s software to use the webcam to keep the user in frame. In addition to face tracking, the stand is controllable with a remote or through hand gestures while wearing Lenovo’s AI Ring — another concept it showed back at MWC.
The Smart Motion stand was born from Lenovo’s Auto Twist concept, a laptop that turned its screen to face you. Lenovo envisions that, should a product with this tech ever launch, part of its role could be to meet accessibility needs in a variety of laptops.
