With over two decades of presence in Sri Lanka, Lenovo is ramping up its regional presence and bringing a new wave of innovation powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI). At a recent regional partner gathering in Colombo, Lenovo introduced its latest range of AI personal computers (PCs) and software innovations, setting the stage for what it calls “the AI decade.”

The event, which brought together over 200 partners from across South Asia, underscored Lenovo’s commitment to hybrid AI – a model that keeps user data on-device rather than in the cloud, ensuring greater privacy, security, and personalisation.

Lenovo India Director and Category Head Ashish Sikka said: “AI PCs are about giving the power of AI to everyone, while ensuring data remains secure and localised. Our tool, AI Now, is designed to simplify workflows for learners, creators, and gamers, delivering real-time value in everyday scenarios.”

AI Now, Lenovo’s proprietary software, operates as a personal knowledge hub. Whether it’s summarising interviews, generating highlight reels for gamers, or drafting question papers for students, the tool is designed to enable greater productivity without compromising on privacy.

Lenovo India Director – Consumer Business Dinesh Nair said: “Sri Lanka is a tech-forward market. Consumers here demand the latest technology, and we’re proud to offer not only premium devices like the Yoga Slim 7i Aura and IdeaPad Slim 3i, but also meaningful AI features that truly enhance user experience.”

Lenovo’s full-stack AI ecosystem is backed by strong Research and Development (R&D) investments and global partnerships with leaders like Intel, AMD, Microsoft, and NVIDIA. The company’s AI PC portfolio spans multiple user segments—from students and content creators to business professionals and gamers.

Lenovo India General Manager – Overseas, Consumer, Commercial and Tablets Naveen Kejriwal said: “We’re focused on expanding our footprint through both hardware and services. From AI PCs to smart connectivity and immersive learning zones, we are delivering a complete digital experience to the Sri Lankan market.”

With strong retail coverage through over 200 retailers and nearly 600 partner stores, Lenovo said it is ensuring that its technology is not only innovative but also accessible. As the PC market rebounds post-pandemic, the company is optimistic about growth in both consumer and commercial segments.

Lenovo said as it continues to invest in personalisation, security, and cross-device functionality, its focus remains clear — to lead the AI transformation in South Asia by making smarter technology accessible for all.
