This all-in-one PC has a very unusual screen
The AIO is now on sale in Japan.
Probably not the screen you want to use for watching movies. Lenovo’s ThinkCentre X AIO Aura Edition features a 27.6-inch IPS display using an unusual 16:18 aspect ratio and 2560 x 2880 resolution. Lenovo says the near-square panel is designed for users who work with two A4 pages, spreadsheets, code, or long documents side by side.
That format gives it more vertical space than a typical 27-inch 16:9 display, which usually tops out at 2560 x 1440. The stand supports tilt, swivel, lift, and 90-degree pivot, which makes the system look closer to a built-in DualUp-style monitor than a standard AIO.
Specs target premium office and creator use. Lenovo lists up to Intel Core Ultra X7 (Panther Lake) processors, integrated Intel Arc graphics, an NPU rated for up to 50 TOPS, up to two M.2 SSDs, Wi-Fi 7, Thunderbolt 4, USB-C, USB-A, HDMI 2.1, quad microphones, and Harman Kardon speakers. Software features include DeskView, Share Zone, split-view support, and optional cameras up to 16MP with IR, 4K recording, and a privacy shutter.

Worth adding that the CES press release mentioned up to 64GB LPDDR5x-9600, while Lenovo spec page lists 32GB LPDDR5X-8533 soldered memory.
Lenovo Japan lists the ThinkCentre X AIO Aura Edition at ¥792,000 including tax, which is about 4,982 USD at current exchange rates.
