Lenovo has unveiled a bunch of new laptops and concepts at CES 2026, including its latest ThinkPad X1 models. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14 Aura Edition and ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 11 Aura Edition come with a new design the company has dubbed Space Frame. Lenovo calls Space Frame an engineering breakthrough and describes it as a design that restructures the interior of a laptop, so that components are placed on both sides of the motherboard. This structure improves the computers cooling and, hence, enables higher sustained performance. It comes with replaceable USB ports, battery, keyboard speakers and fans for easier repairs, and it also gives Lenovo enough room to equip laptops with a larger haptic touchpad.In addition to having the Space Frame design, both ThinkPad X1 Carbon and X1 2-in-1 Aura Editions are Microsoft Copilot+ PCs powered by the new Intel Core Ultra X7 Series 3 processors, which also debuted at CES. The processors ship with 12Xe graphic cores and integrated NPUs for AI acceleration. Both models also introduce a new 10MP camera with a 110-degree-wide field of view that features advanced distortion correction. As for the ThinkPad X1 2-in-1, it ships with a new magnetically docked pen that was designed to be ergonomic. The company has announced the ThinkPad X9 15p Aura Edition at the event, as well. Its a follow-up to last years X9 with an all-aluminum chassis, making it an alternative to Apples MacBooks. This model comes with a 15.3-inch 2.8K OLED display and ThinkPads largest haptic touchpad, and its powered by the new Intel Core Ultra X9 Series 3 processors.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/computing/laptops/lenovos-14th-gen-thinkpad-x1-carbon-comes-with-a-new-space-frame-design-010000262.html?src=rss

In the original, and best Total Recall, theres a scene where Rekalls receptionist uses a digital pen to change the color of her nail polish. Its only taken 35 years, but now a company has turned up to CES 2026 with a version that actually works outside a pricey sci-fi movie. iPolish is a company which makes press-on acrylic nails that, when you apply an electric charge, changes color.In order to enjoy kaleidoscopic nails, youll need to charge the wand, which then connects to your phone. Once youve selected your color of choice, you just put the tip of the nail into the wand, and itll pass a short charge into the nail to change it. Sadly, the company wouldnt shed too much light on the process it uses to run the nails but, from my guess, its some sort of electrochemical shenanigans going on behind the scenes. All in all, it took around five seconds to change the color of a single nail, so its not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.iPolishDaniel Cooper for EngadgetiPolish says that each nail can display 400 colors, and can be changed as many times as the user would like. So, if youre coordinating your nails with your outfits, youre not bound to a single color palette in the weeks between salon visits. Theyre also surprisingly affordable, with the starter set costing $95 which contains two sets of nails, one in Ballerina cut, one in Squoval. The Ballerinas are relatively short, while the Sqovals are longer. Its worth noting that you cant shape the nails as youll break the hardware, so if you dont like those shapes, you cant use em.When it comes time to replace your nails when one breaks or you lose it in some nailbed mishap, youll be able to pick up spares for $6.50. Given the theoretical cost of getting your nails re-done on a weekly basis, being able to change color on a whim seems like a bargain. Of course, we wont be able to speak to iPolishs quality and reliability until they start shipping, which is presently expected to begin in June 2026.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/wearables/ipolish-brings-color-changing-press-on-smart-nails-to-ces-001345407.html?src=rss

Bethesda announced on X today that Quake is now a Steam Deck Verified title. The 1996 game from the legendary id Software has also been designated Handheld Optimized for the Xbox ROG Ally devices. As one of the OG boomer shooters, Quake still commands a sizable and passionate fan base, and it's now available on just about every gaming platform imaginable. Since rolling out its verification program, several thousands of games have been designated as supported for the Steam Deck. Valve has more recently been preparing to have additional gaming devices run its SteamOS platform. Even though Xbox ROG Ally is the only one now, there's already a special extension of verification to note if a title is more broadly compatible with Steam's operating system. And don't forget that Valve's anticipated Steam Machine is due out some time early this year, so it wouldn't be surprising to have those verification checkmarks start to carry more weight in 2026.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/quake-is-now-steam-deck-verified-223009852.html?src=rss
