Acer is leaning hard on the Acer Swift 16 AI touchpad as the standout feature in its refreshed Swift lineup. The idea is simple. If the touchpad is big and responsive enough, you might stop reaching for a separate tablet for quick drawings, markups, and precision tweaks. The setup also fits the broader push around AI-ready Windows laptops, since the Swift 16 AI is part of Acer’s Swift AI Copilot+ PC range built around Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors. What buyers will want next is clarity on price and real-world feel, because that’s what decides whether this turns into…

Lenovo’s CES 2026 ThinkPad refresh puts a spotlight on the guts of the laptop. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14 Aura Edition gets a new internal layout called the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Space Frame redesign, and it’s aimed at two everyday headaches for work machines, heat and downtime. The core change is how the motherboard is built and how parts are arranged around it. Lenovo says components now sit on both sides of the board, which creates more room for cooling and helps make space for a larger haptic touchpad. If your laptop spends its life on the road, the…

If you’ve been waiting for Windows laptops that feel quick on battery while still taking AI features seriously, this is the kind of configuration that’s meant to close that…

Lenovo might have just solved one of the biggest portability headaches for creatives who rely on drawing tablets. At CES, the company showcased a new range of Yoga laptops, including two models with a trackpad that doubles as a drawing surface. Instead of a regular trackpad, the new Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition and Yoga Pro 7i Aura Edition feature what Lenovo calls a Force Pad. It’s a glass surface designed to function both as a traditional trackpad and a compact pen tablet when paired with the included Yoga Pen Gen 2. Lenovo says that this new solution is powered…

Asus is refining the Zenbook Duo’s signature two-display setup with a smaller seam between panels in CES 2026. The headline change is the Zenbook Duo hinge gap, now listed at 8.28 mm, which should make it less distracting when you’re dragging windows, timelines, and toolbars from one screen to the other. That matters because dual-screen laptops can feel great until your eyes keep tripping over the break. Close the gap, and the Duo’s layout starts to behave more like a single, oversized canvas, especially for split-screen work like notes on one panel and a document or browser on the other.…
