      Thin-and-light laptops compatible with Copilot might take center stage at CES this January.

      Lenovo’s upcoming Windows-on-ARM laptops are starting to emerge ahead of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026, and early insights suggest they will be slim, lightweight, and highly efficient devices powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon X2 series chips. Reports from Windows Latest indicate that Lenovo plans to showcase a range of models, from premium clamshells to mainstream convertibles, centered on this next generation of ARM technology.

      Qualcomm unveiled its Snapdragon X2 family in late 2025, touting significant improvements in performance and efficiency compared to previous generations, including enhanced CPU and GPU capabilities along with a more robust NPU for on-device AI tasks. Although Qualcomm hasn't released all the specifics, sources familiar with Lenovo's strategy indicate the company is heavily investing in this silicon for its new Copilot+ PCs, aligning with Microsoft’s initiative to enhance Windows 11 for ARM devices.

      Insights from the CES 2026 Leak

      Leading the lineup is the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x (14-inch), expected to be the flagship model powered by Snapdragon technology. It is said to feature the Snapdragon X2 Elite (18-core X2E88100) chip, providing substantial computing power along with extended battery life goals. Lenovo aims for up to 29 hours on a single charge, with a lightweight design that keeps it competitive with Intel- and AMD-based thin notebooks. The device is also rumored to include a 2.8K OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a variety of memory and storage options.

      Following that are the IdeaPad 5x 2-in-1 and two sizes of IdeaPad Slim 5x laptops, which are anticipated to utilize Snapdragon X2 Plus series processors, categorizing them as more adaptable, mainstream devices. These models merge ARM efficiency with features like touchscreens, convertible hinges, and support for Wi-Fi 7. They are likely to offer up to 32GB of RAM and various SSD configurations, making them suitable for everyday productivity, creative tasks, and general mobile use.

      Leaks indicate that Lenovo's new ARM series will focus on battery life and AI responsiveness, positioning these laptops as strong alternatives to typical x86 notebooks for users who value all-day usability and always-connected experiences. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2 silicon, along with Windows 11 enhancements like Project Strong ARMed, is projected to facilitate this blend of portability and performance.

      Asus may consider developing its own RAM amid supplier focus on AI

      Asus is contemplating radical solutions to address the ongoing global memory shortage, which is driving up laptop prices. Although the company has officially denied plans to launch its own RAM production, speculation suggests that Asus could explore manufacturing its own DRAM as early as 2026. The aim is to alleviate dependence on the major three memory producers.

      The issue stems from a dramatic shift in focus among the world's leading memory manufacturers — Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix — who are currently concentrating on lucrative AI data centers, resulting in fewer DDR4 and DDR5 modules being produced for personal computers. With supply dwindling and demand remaining high, prices have surged.
