Thunderobot ZERO Air with Panther Lake announced
Thunderobot has confirmed it will show off new Panther Lake-based products at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. The show runs from January 6 to January 9, 2026.
The company says its main laptop reveal at the show is ZERO Air, a new flagship gaming notebook built around Intel’s next Panther Lake (PTL) client platform. Thunderobot lists the system’s weight at about 1.58 kg, and describes it as a thin gaming design that still targets “full power” operation.
Thunderobot reminds us that Panther Lake matters here because Intel is positioning it as the next Core Ultra series 3 laptop platform, and Intel says it is the first client SoC family built on its Intel 18A process. Intel has also stated Panther Lake is already in production and tied it to its next wave of AI PC designs, which is the same framing Thunderobot is using for CES.

Intel has separately confirmed a Panther Lake reveal at CES 2026, scheduled ahead of the main show floor opening. That timing sets up CES week as the first place OEMs can show complete systems and talk about real configurations, instead of platform previews.
Thunderobot’s CES list also includes the aibook14 Pro , described as a thin-and-light model using a carbon fiber chassis at about 1.0 kg. It also mentions a THUNDEROBOT STATION mini workstation with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU, plus a gaming monitor and an optical keyboard.
