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.

ThinkVision

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.

TECNO MEGABOOK T15 360 unveiled at IFA 2026

Four laptops, three phones, one event

Published

By

TECNO is making its MEGABOOK lineup a little more flexible.

At IFA ShowStoppers 2026, the uprising tech brand unveils the MEGABOOK T15 360 with two more laptops and three phones tagging along.

One laptop, four modes

The MEGABOOK T15 360 series is the brand’s first laptop lineup with a 360-degree hinge and touchscreen display.

By that, it’s more than just a conventional laptop. It can also be a tablet or a portable display via Tent mode or Stand mode. This added feat makes everything more versatile as TECNO’s existing laptops are only limited to the clamshell form factor.

Both models feature a 15.6-inch screen with the standard 16:9 aspect ratio. As alluded earlier, it’s a touchscreen laptop consisting of 10-point multitouch points. There’s also optional MPP 2.0 active pen support if you want to write or draw directly on the display.

So what’s the difference?

Well, the regular T15 360 gets a Full HD 60Hz panel with 320 nits brightness.

Meanwhile, the Pro version takes it up a notch with a faster 120Hz refresh rate, sharper 2.5K display resolution, full 100% sRGB coverage, and higher 350 nits brightness.

Both laptops come in an all-metal chassis made using CNC machining. The convertible design doesn’t come at the expense of a more conventional laptop build.

Performance uncompromised

TECNO isn’t treating the T15 360 as a lightweight convertible that has to compromise on performance.

You can get up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor, paired with an LPDDR5X RAM. The storage is based from PCIe M.2 2280 SSD — with select models having a secondary M.2 slot for utmost expansion.

There’s also a 70Wh battery plus support for a speedy 65W PD GaN charger. Connectivity includes up to Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4, alongside seven built-in ports.

Practical stuff were neither forgotten. There’s a backlit keyboard with a dedicated number pad, a fingerprint reader underneath its power button, dual speakers with DTS Ultra, a webcam, and dual digital microphones.

TECNO’s OneLeap feature also rounds things out by letting the MEGABOOK work with other TECNO’s smartphones, tablets, and other PCs for cross-device collaboration.

Two more MEGABOOKs

TECNO also brought two other MEGABOOKs to IFA.

The MEGABOOK K15S WCL is the more straightforward option. It uses Intel’s newer Wildcat Lake platform with a 16:10 display, a 70Wh battery, and 65W GaN charging — all in a premium, all-metal body.

Then there’s the MEGABOOK T17 Ultra. Ultra by its name, it goes big with a massive 17.3-inch 16:9 display. It can be configured with up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor and LPDDR5X memory. It also features a massive 99.99Wh battery and speedy 100W GaN PD fast charging.

Wait! There’s even more…

Beyond laptops, TECNO reveals the true form of its Next-Gen Bezelless Concept Phone at IFA 2026.

As announced more than a month ago, this concept uses a redesigned display architecture, internal stacking, structural engineering, and screen packaging to eliminate the physical black border around the display, resulting in what TECNO calls a true 0mm display border.

Beside a phone prototype, there are two consumer-ready products as well.

The POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition combines the POVA series’ performance-focused approach with Tonino Lamborghini’s design language.

It uses a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultimate 5G chipset alongside TECNO’s custom-made P1 Graphic Chip and a 5K IceShield vapor chamber cooling system. Specific details will be announced on September 4, 2026.

Meanwhile, the CAMON Slim 5G focuses on a thinner form factor, measuring just 6.39mm thick.

TECNO says it combines the CAMON line’s imaging features with AI capabilities and artistic colorways. More specifications will be revealed on September 7.

Pricing and Availability

The MEGABOOK T15 360 Series is expected to arrive in Europe by Q4 2026.

Depending on the configuration choice, the MEGABOOK T15 360 will start between EUR 899 ~ EUR 999. The MEGABOOK T15 360 Pro will cost as much as EUR 1099.

No pricing info were announced for the other MEGABOOKs and two phones as of writing.
