Lenovo Unveils Unique ThinkCentre X AIO Aura Edition at CES 2026
During this year's Consumer Electronics Show, Lenovo showcased a wide range of innovative and eccentric devices, one of which was a rollable laptop. Among these, the ThinkCentre X AIO Aura Edition stands out primarily because of its distinct display resolution. The company seems to be targeting it as a competitor to Apple's well-known iMac. While Lenovo didn't announce the price at CES, we now have a better idea thanks to a listing on its Japanese website, which was reported by GDM and Videocardz.
Price and Specification Highlights
The listed price is ¥792,000, inclusive of local taxes, which converts to approximately USD 4,980 as of April 21. To put this in perspective, this price is nearly double that of a high-end iMac equipped with an Apple M4 processor, 24 GB of RAM, 2 TB SSD storage, and four Thunderbolt ports (around USD 2,500). Interestingly, though the product was promoted to support up to 64 GB of RAM, the minimal configuration offers only 32 GB of LPDDR5x memory.
Design and Hardware Features
Information on the storage capacity isn't specified in the listing. The Aura Edition features a 27.6-inch IPS LCD screen with a rather unusual resolution of 2560 x 2880 pixels, and an aspect ratio close to 16:18. The display can be flipped 90 degrees to better suit applications that require unconventional aspect ratios. Beneath its stylish exterior, it boasts an Intel Core Ultra X7 358H processor, paired with a 12 Xe Arc integrated GPU, signifying a focus on professional or creative use.
Availability and Market Introduction
At this stage, the ThinkCentre X AIO Aura Edition has only been made available in Japan. While there’s hope it might soon appear in other international markets, the ongoing chip and memory shortages might lead to delays in global rollout. Enthusiasts and potential buyers will need to stay tuned for further announcements and release details.
