- The Verge·This ultra-thin Lenovo laptop concept uses solid-state cooling
Lenovo’s 14-inch Project AeroBlade concept laptop utilizes Frore’s AirJet technology to replace traditional fans with piezoelectric membranes. This solid-state cooling system allows the device to measure under 10mm in thickness and weigh less than 830g. By eliminating moving parts, the laptop achieves near-silent operation while maintaining a profile thinner than current ThinkPad X1 Carbon models.
- Wired·Lenovo’s Project AeroBlade Fanless Laptop Takes Thin and Light to the Extreme
Lenovo unveiled the Project AeroBlade Concept laptop, which uses Frore Systems’ AirJet Mini fanless cooling that creates 2,000 Pa of back pressure to expel heat through copper jets, eliminating traditional fans and large vents. The 10 mm-thin, 1.8-lb magnesium-aluminum device houses an Intel Lunar Lake CPU (up to 20 W TDP), an OLED display, and Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, and claims power consumption comparable to a conventional fan while being debris- and water-resistant.
- The Verge·This 14-inch laptop has a screen that unrolls to 17 inches
Lenovo’s ThinkBook Project Swan is a business laptop concept featuring a flexible OLED screen that expands horizontally from 14 to 17 inches. The device maintains a conventional laptop form factor until the display unrolls into a 16:9 aspect ratio, utilizing a thicker lid to house the internal rolling mechanism.
- Engadget·Lenovo's latest expandable screen laptop concept feels like it's ready for the real world
Lenovo’s Project Swan, unveiled at IFA 2026, is a 14-inch laptop that expands to 17 inches with a button press, stays 17.9 mm thick and weighs 3.5 lb, and features a large touchpad, solid keyboard, webcam, speakers, and two USB-C ports, though a faint ripple appears at the screen hinge. The concurrently shown Project AeroBlade is a 10-mm-thick, 1.8-lb notebook that uses a piezoelectric “AirJet” solid-state cooler that vibrates a membrane for airflow, providing quieter, dust-resistant cooling but is currently too expensive for mass production.
