It’s a terrible time to buy a laptop (sorry), but if you gotta do it, here are some to consider.
Lenovo hasn’t replied to us yet, but we can see Lenovo’s BIOS page no longer shows the “N3CN42WW” version, only the earlier “N3CN40WW.” Earlier this week, PC Gamer reported that “N3CN42WW” was leaving some users’ devices stuck on a black screen.
According to Retro Dodo, the G02 is “officially dead” and has been removed from “every marketplace it was originally sold on.” The $60 handheld was spotted earlier this year, shipping preloaded with thousands of copyrighted retro games from Nintendo, SEGA, and others.
Nvidia’s RTX Spark ‘superchip’ shows promise for Windows laptops. But it also comes at the worst time.
Lenovo is announcing a new ThinkPad X13 Gen 7, launching this month with Intel Panther Lake and AMD Gorgon Point chips. The X13 starts at $1,499 and weighs as little as 2.03 pounds / 0.93kg. Lenovo also boasts the X13 scores a 9/10 repairability rating from iFixit.
New ThinkPad L14 and L16 models are launching alongside the X13, primarily for enterprise deployments.
Last week I told you how much better the MacBook Neo is compared to similarly priced Windows laptops. Now, let me show you.
The cut corners of these Asus, Lenovo, and Acer laptops are glaringly obvious next to the Neo.
One of Lenovo’s MWC 2026 concepts is the Yoga Book Pro 3D, a chonky dual-screen laptop with glasses-free 3D. You can see models in 3D, control them via hand tracking, and drop custom tools on the lower screen with specialized cutouts.
Check out our hands-on video. Is this concept cool, weird, or something else?
Lenovo’s 15-inch Legion 7A is its first with an AMD Strix Halo APU. The 7A will charge via 180W USB-C and be configurable with a gaming-focused Ryzen AI Max Plus 392.
It launches in July from $2,299, competing with Asus’ upcoming TUF Gaming A14. Remember, integrated graphics are good now.
The Yoga Creative Keyboard Angry Miao Edition is Lenovo’s latest collaboration with Angry Miao. Based on the Dry Studio ATM 98, it features silent switches, a translucent top, and an oversize RGB-illuminated volume knob that’s customizable to control creative apps. Lenovo’s model adds a USB-C hub and a key for audio controls on select Yoga devices.
It’s my turn to graciously host one of our Verge subscriber-exclusive AMAs. Join me in the comments here at 11AM PT / 2PM ET, and feel free to get your question(s) in early.
Ask me about laptops, laptop reviews, photography or whatever else we can geek-out over together.
Lenovo’s 14- and 15-inch ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition laptops are getting a glacier white color treatment for IFA 2025. The X9 may be polarizing to hardcore ThinkPad fans because it lacks a TrackPoint, but I dig this clean look.
Now imagine if a ThinkPad came in, gasp, colors?
Few handheld gaming PCs have OLED screens — fewer of those have variable refresh rates. The Legion Go 2 has those and sustained brightness of 500 nits, peaking at 1000 nits, in a native landscape orientation to avoid panel refresh weirdness! According to Evan Blass’s huge new dump of leaked images, anyhow.
