Asus Zephyrus G14 remains a strong thin-and-light OLED gaming and creator laptop, but Intel Panther Lake models cost far more than past versions.
The 2.9-pound Prestige 14 Flip AI+ looks a little bit like everything: there's MacBook resemblance to be sure (what laptop on the market hasn't taken inspiration from Cupertino?) but you might also mistake it for a Lenovo Yoga, with the rounded edges and dual hinge design. The Flip 14 AI+ is the 2-in-1 convertible model, with a touchscreen OLED display and space for a stylus built into the bottom of the chassis that snaps firmly (!) in place.
According to IGN and TechCrunch, sources say Intel is going to compete by developing a custom Intel Core G3 "variant or variants" just for handhelds that could outperform the Arc B390 GPU on the chips it just announced. IGN reports that by using the new 18A process, Intel can cut different die slices, and "spec the chips to offer better performance on the GPU where you want it."
Lenovo's new pair of Yoga laptops for CES 2026 are its most powerful and most lightweight models. The flagship Yoga Pro 9i is a creator-focused laptop with a 16-inch 4K tandem OLED reaching 1,600 peak nits of brightness, Intel Panther Lake processor options, and up to an RTX 5070 for a discrete GPU. It also includes a Yoga Pen Gen 2 stylus that can magnetically attach to the lid, either on its own or in its protective case.
In addition to huge TVs, compact projectors, Trifolds and more, Samsung announced a new family of laptops at CES called the Galaxy Book 6 series. The company says it's focused on what matters and on what you, hopefully, want in your next laptop. That means Intel's latest chips, a cleaner design and battery life that lasts longer than a day. They're really thin, too.
