Highlights for Thermalright's first mass-produced mini PC include a vertical chassis to maximize water cooling efficiency, which unlocks the 176 W TDP mode for the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU, a 4.6-inch LCD that displays system stats, dual USB4 connectors and 10 GbE plus 2.5 GbE NICs.

The increased frequencies would be possible via the N2P fabrication from TSMC. Still, even with the more efficient nodes, the Dimensity 9600 Pro chips are apparently overheating and require more complex cooling.

The Zenbook A14 model features 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD and a 2K OLED screen, while the A16 model comes with the more powerful Extreme-series processor, 48 GB LPDDR5X-9600 RAM, 1 TB SSD and a 3K OLED display. HP's OmniBook Ultra 14 is also available now, but at a considerably higher price of $2,049.99

The QD-OLED / WOLED panel lottery was reserved only for markets outside the US and Korea previously, but with the latest S90H OLED TV series, Samsung seemingly decided to eliminate this issue by completely ditching QD-OLED panels for WOLEDs globally. No more lottery and no more QD-OLEDs at a more affordable price point either.

Thanks to the outstanding Snapdragon X2 Elite implementation, the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x Gen 11 model is shaping up to be the new battery life ultrabook champ of 2026. Performance is up there with the latest Intel and AMD competition, but the $900 starting price is iffy considering the market conditions.
