Lenovo announced the Yoga 5G at CES 2020. The convertible laptop supports both millimeter wave full-band and sub-6GHz 5G networks, bringing a wide range of high-speed connectivity. The Yoga 5G is the first laptop powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx 5G Compute platform. Pricing information is unavailable at this time, but the device will be available in the Spring of 2020.
Lenovo states that the Yoga 5G is the world's first PC with 5G support, according to Lenovo, but it's worth pointing out that HP also recently announced the HP Dragonfly 5G. The race to release the first 5G PC will only officially be settled when a company officially releases a device with 5G support, not just when companies announce them.
Regardless of if the Yoga 5G is the first 5G PC to market, the laptop will feature incredibly fast cellular connectivity. With support for both millimeter wave full-band and sub-6GHz 5G networks, the Yoga 5 will be able to get 5G support on more carriers as well.

Apart from 5G support, the Yoga 5G is similar to other Yoga laptops. It has a 14-inch display that can be flipped around and used in tent, display, tablet, or laptop modes. The Yoga 5 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx, which helps it deliver long battery life and doesn't require any fans. Lenovo states that the Yoga 5 can get up to 24 hours of video playback.
