Every laptop is so similar these days, but I'm here at Lenovo's really busy
booth. So, they can reveal the secret that they've been sitting on, the Legion
Pro rollable. In its heart, it's pretty
damn similar to a Legion 9 Pro with up to a Core Ultra 9275HX
processor and a mobile 1590, except for this uh one little extra thing that, you
know, kind of makes it special. Just freaking look at it. It expands from
16x10 to 21x9 to 24x9 and it only adds a
couple hundred g to the total weight and maybe like a centimeter to the screen
thickness. Honestly, this is really cool and a great implementation of this tech
that we've seen. The just gets rolled in and kind of disappears. Sadly, we can't
actually game on this laptop today, but it's pretty easy to imagine some sweet
gaming uses that this flexibility affords us. 21 by9 is more and more
common and 24 by9 is pretty darn close to anamorphic widescreen. So you can
imagine the theater-like experience you're going to have watching movies on this bad boy. The aim on the final
product is to hit a 240 Hz refresh rate on this OLED screen. Although they might
have to fall back on 165 Hz, but this
concept is currently locked at 60 Hz. And that's because this is being shown
off mostly as a prototype, which is Lenovo trying to gauge interest. And if
the crowds that have been forming around this thing are anything to go by, people
are very interested in this thing. Do you want this thing? Let us know in the
comments below. I guess how much you want it is just going to depend on
price, which Lenovo doesn't even know yet cuz they're still collecting
feedback at this stage. And although you can see the mechanism for this is really
impressive, there's obviously still some hints to work out. like the seam you can
see when you're at an off angle and uh I've noticed some scratching or some
lines that are forming on the display as it's been going in and out. Their aim is
to have about 25,000 uh expansions built in as a durability
with the aim of going higher if possible. And I've been told that the
earliest that we could see this thing on the market is 2027. So they have a lot
of time to figure out these kinks. Another kind of neat product that you'll
want to set a reminder for about a year is this, the AI frame gaming display.
It's another prototype. So, this is an LCD. It might not end up being LCD, but
the thing that makes it special is the AI processor built in that's supposed to
help you in different situations in games. It's supposed to know what you
need, check your performance. What we're looking at here is Dota 2, and mini map
awareness is obviously a big issue for a lot of people. So, why not expand it,
make it giant, give it a little AI upscale? You know what I'm talking about, brother. This is uh it's all
right. It's like a a really fancy pictureand picture mode. Um but I can
see some people out there being really excited about this. [music] Over here we
have something that a lot of you students out here might be very interested. The Legion 7A and the Legion
5i. These are more of a hybrid use laptop that are designed for performance
but also to stay unplugged throughout the whole day and you can make it home
and still be gaming or do your schoolwork if you're a responsible
person. I don't think so. The big improvements for the 7i over last year
is this refreshed frame that took about 10% of the total weight, including the
shaved hinges that make it that the butt is a lot less big. They've also added
two upfiring speakers to the two downfiring one. And this one supports up
to 100 watt USBC PD fast charging. So
yet you can top it up using just a power brick that you can use for all your
devices. I freaking love USBC. You know
what else I love? Three overtheair updates for the Legion glasses. It's
going to have a 3D update just for free over the air. It's freaking awesome. I
love it. You know what else? I love telling you about our sponsor Dbrand
because [laughter] they saved my what? I don't know if you know this, but I live
on sponsorships. And when our previous sponsor backed out, I didn't know what I
was going to do with myself. You know what I did? I bucked up. I went to my
sponsor droppedout.com and I looked at overpriced stickers, phone cases, kill
switches, doodads that don't make any sense and I bought some because if I buy
them, they'll have money to sponsor me so that I have money to buy their stuff.
Next up, we're stretching over to the yoga area where Lenovo is doing its
damnest and make me forget all about Apple. Here we've got the Slim 7 Ultra
Edition World Cup edition. I've never seen two editions in one title. But
here's the good news. You can get it with either the Core Ultra 7 258D or
256D up to 12x cores and this really
nice soft coating and haptic trackpad
and a 14in 2.8K 120 Hz OLED screen and
all in a really portable sub1 kg package. This is something that I
actually would really like to put in my backpack instead of the stupid one I
have already. The rep was telling me that versus last gen, we're seeing about
an 8watt TDP bump. That's because we've got the newer processors. These are
Panther Lake ones. And so, uh, this is no slouch. This was playing AI at full
2.8K. Uh, and it wasn't even challenging the processor at all. This is, man,
laptops have come a long way. I like this thing. On laptops this portable, I
always expect the worst when it comes to their keyboards, but this one has a fair
amount of travel. I actually think I could get really used to this. This is a
beautiful little laptop. Wow. But if I'm being totally honest, the thing I'm most
excited about is something that it doesn't seem like a lot of other people
are paying attention to, and that's the Lenovo Yoga Mini PC. Apparently, this
category has shown three digits of percentage gross over the last year, and
that's obviously because the Mac Mini has been such a big success. And I think
Lenovo has a pretty cool product on their hand that could compete with it.
It starts at $700. Although, like the Apple products it's competing with, the
one you really want is going to cost a little bit more. But it can come with a
16 core Ultra X7. God, these processor names are crazy. But you can get a 16
core Ultra X7 358H with 12 XC cores of
graphics processing, 32 gigs of LP DDR5X, up to a two TB PCI SSD. This
thing is no slouch. You might not be taking this thing for a gaming run, but
you could. I think this might actually be something a lot of you want, just
like I know you want more CES coverage. There's so much to see here.
