Lenovo leak confirms first Panther Lake AIOs and a 1L cylindrical mini PC
Windows Latest says it has source material for Lenovo’s CES 2026 lineup that goes beyond laptops, adding what looks like Lenovo’s first Panther Lake all-in-one systems and a small “Yoga Mini i” desktop. In my opinion, this is the most interesting product.
The media describes it as a cylindrical 600g PC with an aluminum casing , configured with up to Intel Core Ultra X7 358H , and able to drive up to four high-resolution displays. While the media does not share specs of the CPU itself, we already know this one of the premium 16-core variants and the “X” basically confirms it has 12 Xe3 cores, and full Arc B390 GPU.
Technically speaking, this would be the first Panther Lake mini-PC, which should be capable of gaming. Definitely something to look forward to.
Lenovo ThinkCentre X AIO Aura Edition leaks with a 16:18 almost square display ahead of CES 2026
Lenovo’s ThinkCentre X AIO Aura Edition is said to be headed to CES 2026 with an unusual 16:18 aspect ratio. Sources cited by WindowsLatest say the almost square 27.6-inch panel is meant to help creators, programmers, and data-focused users, with enough vertical space to view two A4 pages of content in portrait.

The AIO is described as a Copilot+ PC powered by Intel Core Ultra X7 Series 3 processors. It pairs that platform with a QHD IPS display running at 2560 x 2880 and 60Hz. There is also an optional Smart AI camera with a physical shutter. The camera is tied to Lenovo DeskView, which can digitize documents placed in front of the display.
One interesting feature is a split-screen mode that lets the system act as a monitor and a PC at the same time. When connected to an external device, the display can be divided so one section shows the AIO output while the other shows the external input.
