If something has each and every one of the portable of this world is that they do not move. It would be strange, I say paranormal research, that a laptop moved. We can tip the screen up or down, but if we move the screen it does not follow us. If we get up, the screen does not get up. If we sat, the screen does not turn down alone. But what if he did? What if our laptop could follow us, so that we moved where we move, the screen always looks towards us? That is the question that has been asked from Lenovo. The answer? A multidirectional intelligent support of the most curious. Inside the dock there is an engine that rotates the base and elevates and inclines the portable | Image: Xataka Lenovo Smart Motion Concept. This device, Iteration of the views last yearIt is not a laptop, but a support. One motorized and with the ability to put the laptop in virtually any position, follow us in real time and place the device always in the perfect position. It does, of course, integrating with the components of the computer so that everything works as a single device. What is this about? This support is connected to the laptop and integrates with the camera, microphones and speakers to, according to Lenovo, offer automatic facial tracking, voice control and Ergonomic health. This detects our face and follows us in real time rotating to the sides, climbing, going down and bowing up or down depending on our movement. In addition, the support detects gestures, such as a click of fingers or the movement of the hands, to do actions. Image | Xataka So that? The idea is simple. There are times that we need to have visibility of the computer being in motion. Let’s think about making a presentation to customers, for example, or being constantly framed. With this support, Lenovo gets precisely that. In addition, it is a device that fulfills a double function: not only moves the laptop, but can help us have the screen in the correct position and height at all times, which will obviously have an additional keyboard and mouse connected to the laptop. And in that sense … The Chinese firm has not neglected anything. The rotating support is, at the same time, a Dock of USB-A ports (two), Ethernet, HDMI, Displayport (two) and USB-C. The ports better than to miss. The support zone is also a dissipator to prevent the laptop from hot, something that can happen since the support increases the tdp of the laptop between five and ten watts.

I use a desktop with a monitor hung by an arm, which allows the monitor to always height and position. However, when I work with a laptop I always miss having the screen above. These types of accessories solve that problem that, in another context, would solve putting the laptop on a pile of books or an Ikea support. And how does it work? Quite well. At first I tried it with many people around, which made the camera go crazy and change the face that continued constantly. Later I had the opportunity to put the glove more calmly and the thing was very different. The support followed me without any problem if I moved to the sides, if it bent to me and even if I put on tiptoe. Image | Xataka The internal support of the support is really fast on the Y axis, but something slow on the X axis. If we get out of the camera’s field of vision, the system stops. It does not seem to be able to anticipate the trajectory that we will follow, something that would be useful. This engine is also heard. It has that classic “ñiiii” mechanical when turning, which even more evidenced its conceptual nature. And what to dance? As if it were a stress test, the software has a dance mode that makes the support move in all directions. He will not win any award, but serves to check the robustness of the device. It is, speaking in silver, quite large and apparently heavy, it is not intended for us to take it there. The counterpart, of course, is that it shows resistant and capable of moving portable portables. It would be necessary to see how it behaves with a heavier devices. Image | Xataka On its launch. Lenovo has stressed that the Lenovo Smart Motion Concept is that, a concept. It is not expected to be launched in the short or medium term. Moreover, we may never see it or, if we see it, we see it as part of another product. However, the idea seems to me the most interesting not only for the professional world, but for teleworkors who use a laptop and, rather than wanting a support that follows their heads in meetings, helps them maintain a good cervical posture.
