Lenovo is quietly expanding the reach of an unconventional all-in-one desktop that breaks from standard screen proportions. The ThinkCentre X AIO Aura Edition, first shown during CES 2026 in January, is now rolling out to Australia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and much of Europe after an initial limited debut in Japan more than three months ago. The company describes North American availability only as “coming soon,” leaving Canadian and US pricing and launch timing unconfirmed for now.
Regional pricing and base configuration
In markets where orders have opened, the entry-level configuration carries a Core Ultra 5 325 processor, 16 GB of LPDDR5X memory, and 512 GB of storage. Pricing reflects significant regional variation:
- Australia: AUD 2,820
- Eurozone: €2,113–€2,661
- Hong Kong: HKD 18,138
- Malaysia: MYR 8,628
- Singapore: SGD 3,028
- United Kingdom: £1,933 (approximately $2,655)
A step-up processor with a wide graphics gap
Buyers can opt for the substantially more capable Core Ultra X7 368H. The chip doubles the CPU core count of the Core Ultra 5 325 and delivers roughly one-third better performance in benchmark testing. The gulf in integrated graphics is even more pronounced: only the Core Ultra X7 368H includes Intel’s Arc B390 graphics, bringing a meaningful uplift for visual workloads. Storage can be expanded to as much as 2 TB of PCIe Gen 5 storage, and a secondary M.2 2280 slot is present, though memory remains capped at 16 GB in most regions.
An unconventional 16:18 display
Every unit is built around a 27.6-inch IPS panel with a 60 Hz refresh rate, 98 percent DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, and 300 nits peak brightness. What sets the machine apart is its 2,560 by 2,880-pixel resolution, yielding a square-like 16:18 aspect ratio. Lenovo frames the tall display as the equivalent of working on two stacked sheets of A4 paper, targeting workflows that benefit from extra vertical real estate.
The ThinkCentre X AIO Aura Edition joins Lenovo’s wider consumer desktop refresh, which already includes the Yoga AIO 27IPH11 and Yoga AIO i Aura Edition, both positioned as conventional competitors to Apple’s latest iMac. With this model, Lenovo is betting that a distinct form factor and Intel’s newest silicon can carve out a niche among professionals who prioritize document handling, coding, or creative tasks in a vertically oriented workspace.
