    Lenovo’s Latest Lightweight Laptop

    The company has globally launched a new 14-inch notebook. Recall, they just presented the IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra, another 14-inch machine weighting 1.06 kg. However this new ThinkBook 14x is even lighter at only 990 g.

    Specs and Pricing Details

    Additionally this 14-inch laptop will be sold with the Core Ultra 5 226V, Core Ultra 5 228V, Core Ultra 7 266V, Core Ultra 7 256V and Core Ultra 7 258V, plus 16 GB or 32 GB of LPDDR5X-8533 RAM. Unusually the ThinkBook 14x contains M.2 2242 and M.2 2280 slots despite its 312 x 217 x 12.9-15.6 mm dimensions, although only the former will be populated from the factory. Setting that aside the ThinkBook 14x contains the following ports:

    • USB-C with Thunderbolt support
    • USB-A ports
    • HDMI output
    • Headphone jack

    Battery and Display Options

    Moreover Lenovo has also included 54.7 Wh or 65 Wh batteries supported by 65 W charging. On top of that the ThinkBook 14x will be configurable with up to an 1800p OLED display featuring a 120 Hz VRR refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 colour space coverage and 500 nits SDR/1,100 nits HDR peak brightness values. Overall the ThinkBook 14x sounds like it could be a more lightweight alternative to the ThinkPad X9 14 Aura Edition we reviewed in March 2025.

    Global Version and Pricing

    For the time being the company has not revealed what the ThinkBook 14x looks like. Multiple sources suggests that the ThinkBook 14x is the global version of the ThinkBook X AI 2026 that Lenovo has just released in China. To that end the ThinkBook X AI 2026 is said to weigh about 1 kg with up to a Core Ultra 7 258V while being 12.9 mm thick at its thinnest point. Based on early retailer listings the ThinkBook 14X may launch for around $1,460 in the US with a Core Ultra 5 226V, 16 GB RAM and a 1800p OLED display.

  • Dell 16-inch Laptop with 120Hz OLED and Intel Panther Lake

    Dell 16-inch Laptop with 120Hz OLED and Intel Panther Lake

    Key Takeaway

    – North America offers four display configurations (including a cheaper 1200p IPS and an 1800p OLED), while Europe currently uses only a 1600p IPS panel.
    – In Europe, only Core Ultra 5 322 and Core Ultra 7 355 are available today; Core Ultra 5 336H, Core Ultra 7 356H, and Core Ultra X7 358H are planned (X7 358H includes Arc B390).
    – The Core Ultra X7 358H variant brings Intel Arc B390 graphics to the lineup.
    – Price points vary by region: US baseline starts at $1,319 (Core Ultra 5 322, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB, 1200p); UK £1,199 and Eurozone €1,349 for similar 1600p config; fully configured US option is $2,119 (32 GB RAM, Core Ultra 9 386H, 1800p OLED); X7 358H pricing not yet disclosed.

    Currently, Dell limits the Dell 16S to the Core Ultra 5 322, Core Ultra 7 355 and the Core Ultra 9 386H in North America. Meanwhile, Europe has only received Core Ultra 5 322 and Core Ultra 7 355 configurations at the time of publication. Dell states that Core Ultra 5 336H, Core Ultra 7 356H and Core Ultra X7 358H versions are coming too, although only the latter brings Intel’s Arc B390 graphics to the table.

    Regional model overview

    Also, only a 1600p IPS panel is available in Europe, which peaks at 500 nits with 100% sRGB colour space coverage and a 48-120 Hz variable refresh rate. By contrast, four display options have made their way to North America, including a cheaper 1200p IPS panel that peaks at 400 nits with 45% NTS C oclour space coverage and a 48-60 Hz refresh rate. Alternatively, an 1800p (2.8K) OLED panel can be configured too, which jumps to 100% DCI-P3 colour space coverage and a 48-120 Hz refresh rate, but with 400 nits peak brightness.

    Display options by region

    Dell charges at least $1,319 for its new 16-inch laptop in the US with the Core Ultra 5 322, 16 GB of RAM, 512 GB of storage and a 1200p IPS display. In comparison, a similar configuration with a 1600p IPS display retails for £1,199 in the UK and €1,349 in the Eurozone.

    Initial pricing snapshot

    For reference, the Dell 16S costs $2,119 in its fully configured state with 32 GB of RAM, a Core Ultra 9 386H processor and an 1800p OLED display. Dell has not confirmed pricing for Core Ultra X7 358H variants, though.
