Lenovo has unveiled the Legion Y700 Infinite in China, a gaming tablet with an 8.4-inch 2.56K OLED display at 165 Hz, an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, up to 24 GB RAM, 5G, and 256 GB–1 TB storage, priced from CNY 4,999 (~$744). It packs a 7,470 mAh battery with 68 W fast charging, a vapor‑chamber cooler, dual USB‑C with DisplayPort, Dolby Atmos speakers, and camera specs of 8 MP front / 50 MP rear.
ASUS has opened pre-orders for the ROG Xbox Ally X20, a major upgrade to the existing Ally X that packs a 7.4-inch OLED HDR display, advanced cooling with a redesigned PCB, refined input controls (Transforming D-pad and hybrid metal dome D-pad, upgraded magnetic thumbsticks), extra RGB lighting, and a MicroSD Express slot. It retains the Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme, 24 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, and 80 Wh battery, and comes in a standalone $1,299.99 model or a $2,499.99 bundle that includes the ROG XREAL R1 Edition AR glasses; launches October 15 and is available at Best Buy and the ASUS Store.
Apple is reportedly prepping a new top-tier MacBook Ultra that will sit above the M5 Pro/Max lineup and include an OLED touchscreen, a thinner chassis with a reinforced hinge, and a Dynamic Island-style display cutout. The Ultra is expected to use M7 Pro/Max chips (skipping M6 Pro/Max), with a first-gen model likely arriving between October and December 2026 (subject to memory-chip supply), while current M5 Pro/Max MacBook Pros remain on sale and a second-gen Ultra with M7 is anticipated for 2027; Samsung is tipped to supply the OLED panels, and the device will carry a premium price.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says Apple plans an iPad mini with an OLED display by the end of October, a move up from LCD that would bring richer colors and higher contrast. The new mini is also expected to feature a new speaker system and increased water resistance, and could be powered by an A19 Pro or A20 chip, potentially with a higher starting price due to OLED costs. The current model launched in October 2024 with the A17 Pro.
Rumors say Apple’s iPad mini 8 will switch to an OLED display (potentially 8.7 inches), use a mid-tier A19 Pro chip, and adopt a more water-resistant, sealed chassis with a vibration-based speaker system; mass production is reportedly underway and a release could come this year, with price potentially rising above the current $599 starting point (some talk of up to $100 more), though a cheaper 10th-generation iPad at $449 may still be an option.
HP has dropped a new 14-inch laptop, the OmniBook 3 (14-hz0488nr), at $599, packing an OLED display, a 60Wh battery rated for up to about 41.75 hours, 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. It uses a Snapdragon X1-26-100 chip, offers multiple ports (two USB-A, HDMI 2.1, two USB-C), a 1080p webcam with privacy shutter, and Wi‑Fi 6E, weighing about 3.13 lb. Availability includes Best Buy (often discounted) and Amazon, with HP’s store pricing higher at $749.99. HP markets it as a more feature-rich, cheaper alternative to the MacBook Neo, though brightness is lower (300 nits vs 500) and some performance metrics favor the Neo in other areas.
In a teaser video, Minimal Company reveals the Minimal Phone 2 with an OLED display, aluminum chassis, and an upgraded QWERTY keyboard, plus 5G support and an audio jack. The device will come in black and silver and shifts from the first-gen’s E Ink screen to a more feature-rich OLED experience while maintaining a compact form factor.
9to5Mac reports that Apple’s rumored MacBook Ultra—a redesigned 14–inch and 16–inch MacBook Pro with OLED, a touchscreen, and Dynamic Island—could launch in fall (late October) with macOS 27.1 (internally) and code names K114/K116. However persistent memory shortages may push the release into early 2027, pending component availability.
OnePlus has teased three performance-focused upgrades for the upcoming OnePlus 16 at a Snapdragon Gaming event, including a strengthened gaming kernel and esports tri-core, plus a higher-refresh-rate OLED display (rumored around 185Hz on a 6.78-inch panel); launch timing is uncertain, with rumors pointing to a China-only release in October 2026.
Rumors suggest Apple’s MacBook Ultra will bring a true overhaul: an OLED display replacing mini-LED, a thinner, lighter chassis, and a pill-shaped hole-punch camera (with a Dynamic Island-inspired look) along with slimmer bezels and a reinforced hinge. HDMI, MagSafe, and SD card slots are expected to remain, and the launch window is likely late 2026 to early 2027, with design cues possibly extending to a 14-inch model in 2027.
Asus launches the ZenBook 14 Air 2026 in China, a slim 11mm-thick, 1.19kg laptop powered by Ryzen AI 7 H 445, featuring 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD and a 14-inch 2880x1800 OLED display at 120Hz with up to 1,100 nits brightness, priced around $1,476; global release is unlikely as a similar UM3406GA variant already exists.
Asus has broadened the international release of the cheaper Zenbook A16 (UX3607QA) powered by Snapdragon X1-26-100 to Australia and the UK. The lighter model, about 100 g lighter, comes with 16 GB RAM and an OLED display that is dimmer and lower‑resolution than the premium variant, and it uses Wi‑Fi 6E instead of Wi‑Fi 7. It’s priced at AU$2,074 in Australia and £1,299 in the UK (roughly $1,730), about 38% cheaper than the X2 Elite Extreme version, with North America not yet listed.
Apple is reportedly adding water resistance to the upcoming iPad mini, with a redesigned, seal-focused casing and a vibration-based speaker system that eliminates speaker holes. A rumored OLED panel and an unreleased A-series chip (A19 Pro/A20 Pro) are expected, with a launch planned for October and a potential price increase of up to about $100. Apple has not announced an official IP rating yet.
Rumors say Apple’s first major MacBook redesign in years, dubbed the MacBook Ultra, could launch between late 2026 and early 2027. Expected features include an OLED display (replacing mini-LED), direct touchscreen support, touch-optimized macOS, a reinforced hinge, a punch-hole camera with a Dynamic Island-like UI, M5 Pro/Max processors (not M6) with a later plan for M7 Pro/Max, thinner chassis, two sizes (14 and 16 inches) with slimmer bezels, and potential built-in cellular connectivity; pricing would likely sit above current MacBook Pro models. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and Ming-Chi Kuo are among the sources backing these rumors, with production ramping up in late 2026.
Apple’s price hike for MacBooks and iPads pushed the MacBook Air prices higher, but five powerful, mostly Windows laptops—Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x Gen 11, Microsoft Surface Laptop 13, HP OmniBook 5, Asus ZenBook A14 (2026), and Lenovo Slim 7i Aura Edition—now undercut the Air while offering similar portability, strong performance (with Snapdragon X2 Plus/Elite), and appealing displays/ports.
