Lenovo’s concept monitor and USB hub offer plug-in discrete NPUs for AI work.

Lenovo announced two concept AI accessories at Mobile World Congress 2025. The pair of devices, creatively named AI Display and AI Stick, have built-in NPUs capable of 32 TOPS, allowing users to do local AI work on just about any computer plugged in via USB. Like other Lenovo proofs of concept, we don’t know if the AI Display or AI Stick will ever come to market — but there’s a chance.
