Like many computer companies, Lenovo used CES 2025 as an opportunity to share its new powerful PCs. Between all the new hardware, fresh gaming PCs and handhelds, and claims of AI-powered benefits, there’s one feature that caught my eye from the Lenovo Aura Edition range.
By nature, I’m a distractible person. I always have multiple things happening at once, often diverting my attention away from what I really need to get done. That’s why I’m curious about the “Smart Modes” exclusive to Lenovo’s Aura Edition laptops.
You can choose from multiple different settings aimed at optimising your device’s performance. Aside from the standard power-optimising and video call-enhancing features, there’s an “Attention Mode”. Described as blocking unwanted distractions, it promises to help keep you on task when funny cat videos are only a click away. Sure, you can install apps and third-party browser extensions to do the same thing, but I’m intrigued by how well a built-in version would work.
Should you base your hardware purchasing decision on a single software feature? I wouldn’t recommend it, but it’s a potential point of difference when many different spec sheets look similar between brands.
Lenovo Aura Edition laptop details
Designated “Aura Edition” to highlight Lenovo’s best-in-class laptops powered by Intel processors, this year’s new entrants include a couple of different models. At the top of the computer tree is the 14-inch Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition. It’s a hybrid computer-slash-tablet that ships with a stylus so you can take advantage of its sharp OLED screen and 360-degree convertible design.
For a more conventional design, the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition clamshell laptop shares similar specs, albeit without the stylus and swivelling display. It also gets an OLED screen and up to an Intel Core Ultra 7 series 2 processor, with as much as 32GB of RAM.
Australia gets both PCs relatively soon, with Lenovo confirming an April 2025 release date. The Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition costs $3,799, while the corresponding Yoga Slim 7i costs $1,899.
Meanwhile, Lenovo also announced various other Yoga laptops, 2-in-1s, and IdeaCentre desktop PCs. It’s expanding the brand’s dedicated tablet range too, with the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro coming to Australia for $699. More details and spec sheets are available on Lenovo’s website.
