ThinkPad X1

Lenovo launched a slew of products, and it’s got something for everyone. From work-from-home accessories to serious machines that pack a punch, the computer maker has everything. And, it’s taking a step further with its work-oriented ThinkPad series, especially the ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4.

The ThinkPad X1 Extreme sports a 16-inch display with 4K resolution, HDR400 certification, and 10-bit color. Under the hood, it supports up to the 11th Gen Intel Core i9 H-Series vPro processor, coupled along with best-in-class Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 GPU. There’s up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM and a 2TB PCIe SSD for storage.

It’s powered by a 90Whr battery that Lenovo claims can last more than 10 hours. Being a ThinkPad, it has a host of connectivity options like Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth v5.2, an HDMI 2.1 port, two USB-C ports, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, an SD card reader, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and an optional SIM slot. If you’re frequently on the move, it’ll be fine to forget the dongles at home.

Other features include a hybrid cooling system that uses both traditional heat pipes and a large vapor chamber to keep intensive graphics running optimally. The keyboard is spill-resistant, and the entire laptop weighs just 1.81kg.

Alongside the laptop, Lenovo also unveiled a host of accessories to improve your remote working experience. The ThinkVision M15 mobile monitor can double your viewing space with a 15.6-inch Full HD display that connects via USB-C. The screen is designed for long-term usage and comes with TÜV Rheinland low blue light technology.

In case you’re looking for a bigger secondary screen, Lenovo’s ThinkVision T24m-20 has a 23.8-inch screen with Full HD resolution. It can support a daisy chain for a multi-monitor configuration. A proprietary software called ThinkColor helps users multitask with ease and make advanced screen adjustments through single or multi-display windows.

Here’s all the RTX Spark notebooks announced at COMPUTEX 2026

We got notebooks from ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, and MSI.

There’s been much ado about the NVIDIA RTX Spark. By now, you’ve probably heard a lot about the upcoming reinvention of PCs. But, as a regular consumer, it’s hard to visualize just how this revolution looks like. Thankfully, in NVIDIA’s demo suites, a few manufacturers got to showcase their take on an RTX Spark notebook. And all of them are coming out in the fall.

Unfortunately, none of these brands could share comprehensive details about their laptops beyond a promise for raw power. All of these models aren’t the final version yet.

However, just from what we can tell, these notebooks do feel different from the standard fare of laptops today. For one, they are deceptively heavier. Though all of the OEMs promise a much thinner profile, they’re either packing a lot of tech inside or are using denser materials for their chassis. But again, these are engineering units, so who knows how heavy these things will actually be?

Secondly, based on NVIDIA’s demos, they can do a lot of heavy lifting. NVIDIA says that these superchips are meant for developers and creators, but gamers will also find joy in their performance. DLSS 4.5, in particular, feels like a true revolution in terms of graphics.

Thankfully, fall isn’t too far away. If you can wait, the next evolution of PCs is just around the corner.

The Dell XPS 13 is the lineup’s thinnest notebook to date

It’s only 12.7mm thin and 2.2lbs light.

Last year, Dell killed off the XPS lineup. However, the brand quickly learned the error of its ways and resurrected the lineup this year. When the XPS 14 and 16 launched last January, the XPS 13, touted as the lineup’s thinnest laptop to date, made some interesting teases. Now, at COMPUTEX 2026, the new 13.4-inch notebook finally made an appearance.

Though the number in the name says “13,” the XPS 13 is defined by more than just its screen size. It’s the thinnest notebook in the entire XPS lineup, measuring at only 12.7 millimeters and weighing only 2.2 pounds. And yet it’s still remarkably durable with a premium CNC aluminum construction.

Inside, the XPS 13 can carry up to a Series 3 Intel Core Ultra 7 chipset. This is paired with up to 32GB of memory and up to 1TB of storage.

Meanwhile, the 13.4-inch display touts 2.5K resolution and an InfinityEdge touchscreen display. It has a 500nit typical brightness, up to 120Hz VRR, and Dolby Vision. You’re also getting a quad speaker setup with two main speakers and two tweeters, all of which are compatible with Dolby Atmos.

Despite its size, the notebook is fitted with 2 USB-C ports with DisplayPort 2.1 and power delivery. Finally, the XPS 13 comes with a 52Whr battery, providing up to 17 hours of charge and is compatible with the included 65W charger.

It will start at only US$ 599 for eligible students.

The new NVIDIA RTX Spark laptops are AI PCs on steroids

Published

on

“Useful AI has arrived,” NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang proclaimed in his monumental keynote speech to kick off COMPUTEX 2026, essentially admitting to the state of AI prior to today. But don’t let the past mess with how you view the present. AI today, according to the graphics-turned-AI company, will now serve everyday users, rather than procuring abstract and intangible benefits. For us normal people, it all starts with the new RTX Spark.

Rarely does a new product claim to reinvent the entire industry. Confident in its own abilities, that’s just what the RTX Spark wants to do. But what is it exactly?

Think of it like Microsoft’s Copilot+ PCs but on AI-powered steroids. NVIDIA wants to bring the power of a supercomputer into the hands of regular consumers, just like how the personal computer (PC) brought gigantic computers to the comfort of everyone’s homes.

Co-engineered with Microsoft, RTX Spark will run autonomous AI agents the entire day. The agent is tied to you and your intent but will orchestrate all your devices under one roof.

Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty. The new series will leverage a Blackwell RTX GPU and a 20-core Grace CPU from MediaTek. It can also support up to 128GB of unified memory, delivering several of the most powerful (and most expensive) PCs available to consumers today. With the capabilities comparable to an RTX 5070, the series can supposedly play modern games with ease.

Inside, it will come with CUDA, the trove of information that powers AI technology today. Finally, despite how slim NVIDIA promises the series will be, the RTX Spark should come with a battery that lasts the entire day.

The first NVIDIA RTX Spark laptops will launch later this fall with six premium laptops for various brands. This, along with the 30 models launching soon after, will include Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and MSI. No word yet on how much these will cost, though.
