Lenovo unveils the most fashionable PC I’ve ever encountered, and it effortlessly eclipses the iMac.
The Yoga AIO i Aura Edition features a floating glass design with Adaptive Lighting that responds to your content and notifications.
Lenovo, along with Dell and HP, has been providing stylish all-in-one (AIO) desktop PCs for many years, but Apple typically leads with the iMac due to its dependable performance, ecosystem advantages, and vibrant design, which keep it at the forefront of recommendations. At CES 2026, Lenovo is redefining the AIO landscape with one of the most stunning machines I have ever encountered.
A visually appealing design with practical features

The new addition from Lenovo is the Yoga AIO i Aura Edition, which incorporates a floating glass design reminiscent of the recently announced LG Wallpaper TV. The glass at the base of the screen is part of a seamless structure that lights up.
This lighting isn't just ordinary; it syncs with whatever is displayed on the screen, similar to mood lighting kits. However, it also serves a functional purpose when you're not engaged in binge-watching or gaming.

According to Lenovo, the Adaptive Lighting feature will illuminate in response to notifications as well. Furthermore, the color of the lights can be customized, allowing users to assign different hues for various software alerts. Complementing this, the Yoga AIO i Aura Edition includes Karmon Kardon speakers with Dolby Atmos tuning.
Significant performance features

The latest desktop from Lenovo goes beyond aesthetics and lighting; it provides substantial performance that may make the iMac feel outdated. For starters, it boasts a sharper 4K OLED display rather than the LCD screen found on Apple's machine.
Additionally, the display can support refresh rates of up to 165Hz, placing it in the realm of gaming hardware. It is powered by Intel’s latest Core Ultra X7 358H processor, coupled with 32GB of RAM and up to 2TB of storage. Additionally, it features a dedicated privacy shutter for the webcam.

The 16-megapixel webcam, positioned at the top, also comes with an IR sensor for biometric authentication through facial recognition. The back includes a pair of USB-C and USB-A ports, while another USB-C port is located on the side.
In summary, this is one of the most stylish and fully equipped desktop PCs slated for release, likely winning over some iMac users. The Lenovo Yoga AIO i Aura Edition starts at $2,399.99 and is expected to be available in the second quarter of 2026.
