One of the wildest laptop concepts to debut at CES this year comes by way of Lenovo. While it's just a concept at the moment, the Lenovo ThinkPad Rollable XD already seems fairly refined and it incorporates a number of intriguing design elements that not only give the machine a distinctive look, but also make better use of all the screen real
Lenovo is refreshing its ThinkPad X1 laptops with some exciting new hardware upgrades, not the least of which is the debut of what it calls a Space Frame design to facilitate better cooling and to make swapping out components a lot easier. This is brand new and a key differentiator from the previous generation ThinkPad X1 Carbon we reviewed.
The old adage that good things come in small packages rings true with one of Lenovo’s CES 2026 debuts, the Yoga Mini i. This device’s diminutive size belies just how much hardware horsepower the company has managed to pack into its small chassis, including Intel’s latest Panther Lake processors, making it an excellent option for those in need
After many years attending the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), one thing we've learned is that not every concept device shown off at the annual event in Las Vegas becomes a shipping product. One that most definitely will, however, is Lenovo's innovative ThinkBook Plus Gen 7 Auto Twist laptop with a motorized display that we first saw at CESAt CES this week, Gigabyte is showcasing its new RTX 5090 Infinity graphics card, which makes some rather bold changes to traditional GPU cooler design. The radically redesigned Windforce Hyperburst cooler is the star of the show here, moving away from the typical triple-fan shroud we are used to seeing towards a very unique design that we've not ever seen before on a custom-cooled GPU.
Gigabyte is positioning this as a next‑generation thermal solution. The Hyperburst system is paired with GIGABYTE’s first separated PCB layout, a design approach originally pioneered by Nvidia. By splitting the board and opening up the structure, the card enables a Double Flow Through path that pushes air across both sides of the backplate with fewer obstructions. A dedicated Overdrive Fan sits at the centre of the card and only activates under heavy load, injecting an extra column of airflow when temperatures spike.
Aside from the cooler, this GPU is your typical RTX 5090, offering the best performance currently available in a gaming GPU, with full support for the latest features like DLSS 4 and enhanced AI compute capabilities. Unfortunately, we don't have any specific data on how cool the GPU runs, or what clock speeds it achieves out of the box, but we should hear more on that in the coming months.
GIGABYTE has wrapped the new cooler in a circular, die‑cast metal frame with a matching circular heatsink and the company’s RGB Halo lighting. Despite the unconventional design, the card maintains a relatively compact footprint at 33cm long and 14.5cm tall, keeping it compatible with a wide range of cases.
KitGuru Says: What do you think of the new Windforce Hyperburst cooler? Do you think we'll see more of this design for future generation graphics cards?
The post CES 2026: GIGABYTE rethinks GPU cooling with Windforce Hyperburst on RTX 5090 Infinity first appeared on KitGuru.At CES this week, ASRock has introduced a complete next‑generation AIO liquid cooling lineup, expanding its hardware portfolio beyond motherboards and graphics cards. The new range covers high‑end enthusiast systems, workstation platforms, gaming PCs and mainstream builds, with each series targeting a different segment.
At the top of the stack, the Taichi AQUA series offers a dual‑mode top cover that can switch between a magnetic 3.4‑inch LCD display and a transparent window showing coolant flow. The Taichi AQUA 360 LCD uses a dual‑pump design rated for 500W+ TDP, a 38mm radiator, an integrated flow indicator and LCP fans with dual‑ball‑bearing construction and IP54 protection.
The WS series is aimed at workstation platforms such as AMD Ryzen Threadripper (sTR5) and Intel Xeon W (LGA4677). It features a full‑coverage cold plate designed for large workstation CPUs, along with the same dual‑pump 500W+ architecture, 38mm radiator and LCP fans. ASRock positions this series for sustained, high‑load operation.
For gaming systems, the Phantom Gaming 360 LCD combines a 3.4‑inch LCD display with a 32mm radiator and a 3‑phase, 6‑slot pump. A VRM cooling module assists with thermal management around the CPU socket, while high‑output fans and a Halo ARGB frame provide airflow and lighting.
The Steel Legend series focuses on everyday durability, retaining the 3.4‑inch LCD display, 3‑phase pump and VRM cooling module, supported by LCP fans and dual‑ball‑bearing construction for consistent airflow.
For mainstream builders, the Challenger and Pro series emphasise ease of installation and balanced performance. The Challenger models include a 3‑inch smart digital display, pre‑installed fans with hidden cabling, a quick‑release mounting bracket and multifunctional tube clips. The Pro series adds ARGB lighting and uses a tuned fan configuration to balance cooling, noise and aesthetics.
All models include a 6‑year warranty, with ASRock positioning the lineup as part of a broader effort to build a unified ecosystem across its PC hardware products.

Micron's out at the Consumer Electronics Show shouting, 'You get a Gen5 SSD, you get Gen5 SSD, you get a Gen5 SSD!'. Okay, maybe not quite literally, but it did use the annual tech showcase as a launchpad for its new Micron 3610 NVMe solid state drive family, which it's billing as the industry's first PCIe Gen5 Q9 QLC SSDs for client computing.
