The Porsche Design Acer Book RS looks super luxurious
What. A. Stunner.
What happens when a luxury car maker teams up with a world-class laptop maker? Magic. Although, that might be underselling the level of thought that went into the Porsche Design Acer Book RS.
Let’s start with what we immediately see. The Porsche Design Acer Book RSis built with a compact all-metal chassis. Topping it off is a carbon fiber cover. It’s a distinct touch derived from decades of motorsports designs. It puts a premium on the material’s lightweight strength and extreme performance.
The entire unit weighs only 1.25 kg (2.76 lbs) and is 15.99 mm (0.63 in) thin. The two covers are connected by a unibody hinge that slightly elevates the keyboard upon opening the notebook. That improves cooling and creates a more ergonomic typing experience.
Backlit keys provide convenient typing even at night and the glass precision touchpad provides multi-gesture support.
Under the hood
Great machines don’t only look good, they should also come with top-caliber performance. Under the hood of the Porsche Design Acer Book RS are the following:
- Latest 11th Gen Intel Core i7 processors with Intel Iris X graphics
- Optional discrete NVIDIA GeForce MX350 GPUs
- 16GB of RAM
Naturally, it doesn’t end there. It has a 14-inch FHD IPS touchscreen covered with a layer of Antimicrobial Corning Gorilla Glass. This magnificent looking laptop covers 100% of the sRGB color gamut and is accentuated by ultra-narrow bezels — 90% screen-to-body ratio to be exact.
It has dual copper heat pipes to stay cool during the entire 17 hours that it’s supposed to last. It can give you up to four hours of usage time even after juicing up for only 30 minutes.
Rounding up the capabilities are a dual-band WiFI 6, USB-C, Thunderbolt 3, and USB3.2 Gen 2 ports. You also get smart features like fingerprint logins via Windows Hello, Modern Standby and Wake on Voice.
Custom designed accessories
The laptop isn’t the only thing on the Acer Notebook RS that’s infused with Porsche Design. Coming along for the ride is the Porsche Design Acer Travelpack RS consisting of the following: mousepad, mouse, carrying pouch and notebook sleeve).
The travel pouch is made from ECCO PALERMO XA Leather — a durable material that is pleasant to the touch and glistens with a subtle shine.
Magnetic clasps connect the pouch to a notebook sleeve. It has been fashioned from 1680D fabric which is water repellant and perfect for protecting the notebook from the scratches and wear-and-tear.The notebook sleeve’s detachable lid has been designed to double as a mousepad.
The Bluetooth and wireless Porsche Design Acer Mouse RS completes the travel pack. Carbon fiber was used to reinforce the left-mouse button with character, and is also utilized for the mouse’s bottom cover.
The strong material ensures the mouse has a long lifespan and also houses a DPI switch that enables users to quickly switch between three preset sensitivity levels.

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.
