OLED screens have been manufactured the same way for years. Lenovo and TCL just broke that norm

by

Lenovo has presented the Legion R9000Pa 16-inch gaming laptop that becomes the first device on the market to incorporate an OLED screen manufactured using inkjet printing (Inkjet Printing OLED), a TCL technology that has been around at technology fairs for a few years now. According to Lenovo, this is a relevant step towards the commercialization of this type of panels, especially taking into account that the manufacturing process allows costs to be lowered. A screen that marks all the ticks Although Lenovo has not yet shared the complete technical data sheet of the equipment, the firm has given some quite interesting details. And the Legion R9000P mounts a 16-inch OLED panel with a refresh rate of 240 Hzdesigned especially for the most gamers. Furthermore, according to data provided by Lenovo, the screen covers more than 99% of the DCI-P3 color space and promises to maintain stable color performance regardless of the brightness level, something that the brand links to uses that go beyond gaming, such as professional design. The panel also features a Real RGB Stripe subpixel layout, a design that Lenovo explains corrects text blurring and color striping issues that often appear on OLED displays with the traditional triangular layout. It is worth clarifying, however, that if we look at the panel from the point of view of the specifications it offers, it is not a new technology, since multiple manufacturers already offer quite powerful 240 Hz OLED panels. The novelty lies precisely in how it has been manufactured. this panel. What changes in inkjet printing? Traditional manufacturing of OLED displays is based on a process called vacuum thermal evaporation (VTE), which requires high-precision metal masks and very expensive machinery. TCL CSOT’s IJP OLED technology replaces that method with inkjet printing to deposit the light-emitting organic material, which the company claims simplifies the process, reduces material waste and improves production yield. In practice, this could translate into OLED screens that are cheaper to manufacture without giving up the features that make this type of technology attractive, such as very high contrast and color reproduction. These IJP OLED panels They also promise improvements in brightnessan aspect in which conventional OLED screens usually have more difficulties, and something especially relevant in a laptop when we use it in multiple lighting conditions. Neither Lenovo nor TCL CSOT have confirmed whether those manufacturing savings will be passed on to the consumer, as the company has not yet offered details on pricing. More than a decade of development Although the Legion R9000P is the first commercial application of this technology in a laptop, TCL CSOT has been working on it for more than ten years, according to collect in his own statement. We ourselves have witnessed it on more than one occasion at multiple technology fairs such as CES. And not only in laptops, since the idea is that this manufacturing process is compatible for all types of screens, including televisions. According to data According to Counterpoint Research, TCL has around a 14% share in the global television market, a business until now mainly supported by screens. LCD and mini LEDso this technology could also open the door to compete with Samsung and LG in the OLED field. New products are beginning to appear with this technology The Legion R9000P is not the only product that debuts this technology. And days before its presentation, MSI also showed the monitor PRO MAX OLED 271UPJW12a 27-inch panel with 4K resolution that shares very similar specifications to the TCL CSOT panels, although MSI has not openly confirmed that it uses this manufacturer’s technology. If production costs continue to fall, this technology could facilitate the arrival of higher quality OLED screens to cheaper devices. For now, the Legion R9000P is limited to the Asian market and Lenovo has not offered more details about its technical specifications or its availability in other regions, so we have to wait to find out if a launch in Europe is confirmed.

Buying cheap RAM seemed like a matter of waiting. Lenovo just dismantled that hope

by

Buying memory seemed, until not so long ago, a question of patience. If prices rose, many users and companies could wait a while before expanding a computer, renewing storage or closing a large server purchase. The idea was simple: endure the blow, watch the market and hope that the pressure would go down. But that hope begins to collide with a different reality, because memory no longer only powers our computers: it also supports a growing part of the infrastructure that drives AI. The latest news comes to us from ISC 2026in Hamburg, one of those events where the debate on servers and infrastructure allows us to see where the market is moving rather than in domestic consumption. According to ComputerBaseLenovo showed there a slide titled “Five-step survival guide for RAMageddon” and accompanied the idea with a phrase that summarizes the change in tone well: “It will never be like last yearThe aforementioned media clarifies that this “never” should not be read completely literally, but the warning is still relevant: trusting in a quick return to the levels of 2024 and the beginning of 2025 may be too optimistic. ComputerBase may not be a well-known outlet outside of Germany, but its coverage of ISC 2026 has been replicated by specialized publications like Tom’s Hardware and TweakTown. In the latter’s information, Martin Hiegl, a Lenovo executive linked to Enterprise AI & HPC, is identified as the author of the statements. Before the event, Hiegl announced on LinkedIn that he would participate again in the “Vendor Showdown” session with the theme “RAMageddon”. The problem is not just that the RAM is expensive In its presentation, Lenovo is not just talking about a temporary tension, but about a change in the economics of DRAM and NAND. The company maintains that even when new relevant manufacturing capacity begins to be noticed, something that it places from 2028, a good part of that additional production could be absorbed by AI infrastructure. In other words: more memory being manufactured does not necessarily mean that we will return to the low prices of 2024 and early 2025. The industry is also moving in that direction. Tom’s Hardware points to SK hynix’s plans to triple its memory production capacity by 2034 as a background signal: if manufacturers were expecting a quick return to minimal margins and oversupply, they would hardly accelerate investments of that magnitude. Lenovo’s reading is that the incentive has changed. With sustained demand for AI and increased pressure on DRAM, NAND and HBM, expanding factories may ease the market, but not automatically rebuild the cheap scenario that many buyers remember. Now, the Chinese manufacturer is not alone in this diagnosis. As we pointed out days agoMicron recently told its investors that it expects limited supply until at least 2027, with a gradual improvement starting in 2028. SK hynix has also warned that shortages could last until around 2030 whether the AI ​​infrastructure continues to absorb wafer capacity. These are forecasts that should be read with caution, because they come from companies that benefit from high prices, but they also show that the sector is planning as if the pressure is not going to disappear anytime soon. The consumer also remains within the chain. It is no secret that “RAMageddon”, as Lenovo called it, is reaching PCs, mobile phones, consoles and SSDs, precisely the products where we usually notice first if an increase in components reaches the final price. There are the Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and 5 Pro and more expensive Nintendo Switch 2. Also mobile phones that come at higher prices and computers like Macs being harder to reach. Does that mean we should take Lenovo’s scenario for granted? Not necessarily. No one can predict with certainty how the market will evolve.. His analysis carries weight because it comes from one of the largest computer manufacturers in the world, but even in a sector like this, forecasts can fall short… or not be met. The most reasonable reading is another: if Lenovo is right, memory is no longer that component that we could postpone almost by inertia until we find a better offer. In a market where AI competes for DRAM, NAND and HBM, waiting is still an option, but no longer a guarantee.

I thought portable consoles were already defined. Lenovo has decided that they can also be folded in half

by

I think Lenovo is one of the brands that takes the most risks in the computer segment. And in the consoles: Lenovo Legion Go It’s a good sample. With several models under its belt, the brand has come to the MWC in Barcelona with a hybrid that is, above all, extravagant. But also original, I think there is no better way to please everyone. Do you want a portable screen to play with physical controls? Covered. A more compact panel to make it less uncomfortable? Check. Option to play with the panel vertically and horizontally? Of course. What if the controllers can become a standalone controller? And even with a mouse option. The Lenovo Legion Go Fold doesn’t marry anyone. Just because, It also has a foldable screen. Lenovo Legion Go Fold technical sheet Lenovo Legion Go Fold Concept SCREEN 11.8 inch POLED panel Resolution 2,435 x 1,712 pixels, 16:10 165Hz refresh 100% DCI-P3 500 nits Tactile DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT 189.1 x 282.5 x 8.5mm 868 g (638 g modular + 230 g controls) PROCESSOR Intel Core Ultra 7 GRAPHIC CARD Integrated Intel Arc 140V GPU 64TOPS, 8 Xe-cores, 1.95GHz RAM 32GB LPDDR5x-8533 STORAGE 1TB PCIe SSD (Gen 4) 2242 OPERATING SYSTEM Windows 11 OTHERS Color: Eclipse Black PRICE Unspecified It is neither one thing nor another, it is everything It is not just a folding tablet, nor a video game console, nor a convertible laptop: it is everything at once. And with a format that can be expanded almost to the unimaginable within the gamer field. Goes from a tablet style surface to a console Steam Deck. Detachable, of course. Just like what happened to me with the modular laptop that Lenovo also brought to MWC, the Legion Go Fold goes a step further when you think it can’t expand further. Broadly speaking: It is a gaming tablet with anchored physical controls. It can be used both vertically and horizontally. It is a large tablet that folds in half into a smaller one. It runs Windows and has a keyboard as an accessory, so it can become a travel laptop. As was the case with the original Legion Go, the controllers can be joined together to function as an independent external controller. As a cherry on top, one of the controllers anchors to the base to become a mouse with a trigger. The device is a concept that is not yet definitive. However, it appears to be fully functional, all parts make sense, They are solid enough and they can be combined without excessive complication. Like all moving parts, the anchors are somewhat delicate to place: you have to remove a lock, slide the control down and separate it outwards. The lane is not too long, it gave me the impression that it was not as firm as it should be. Given the weight and size of the tablet, I don’t think it will be excessively comfortable for long periods of gaming. At least as long as he stays in suspense. A folding screen? Why not If it already seems strange that a tablet has two console controls anchored to the ends, seeing how the screen folds is the ultimate. Because of the size and because the folding looks somewhat rough: the edge is thick and leaves the panel exposed. However, it is the only way to fold the tablet so that it continues to function as a touch device. The folded Legion Go Fold is much more comfortable to play with. The problem is that Windows does not allow itself to be tamed to multiformat: System orientation does not adapt to portrait orientation. I also noticed different errors when resizing the windows, with the touch on the screen and with some buttons on the controls. The problems of direct. It is a concept and it is appreciated as such, a “I’m going to see how far I can go with removable elements.” The result is very curious to see, not so much to enjoy. At least in regards to everything related to the screen, because the design of the controls, its buttons, the detail of the mini-screen on one of the controls and its versatility are noteworthy. Quite far from viability Playing with an unfolded tablet of this size is not very comfortable, having physical controls attached even less so. Lenovo has already more than proven the Legion Go format, it is the path it is going to follow. And surely the experience gained with the Fold will help to improve the commercial family, such as adding a small screen to the controls. Lenovo is the PC manufacturer that usually surprises me the most with its proposals. Take risks even if these experimental products do not go beyond concepts. And when I tried them I found solid, well-thought-out devices with established technologies. I don’t think that combining a folding tablet with controls will come to fruition, but who knows. We ended up seeing it in stores the same way. Images | Ivan Linares In Xataka | Best tablets in quality price. Which one to buy based on use and recommended models

The latest from Lenovo is a gaming laptop with a rollable screen. It makes more sense than it seems

by

Playing on a laptop has historically been synonymous with playing in 16:9 or, at most, in 4:3 in some more work-focused models. Play ultrawide It is something that, for the moment, is relegated to desktop monitors for a fairly simple issue: space. That, of course, is assuming that the panel cannot be rolled and unrolled, because if possible, concepts as curious and peculiar as the one that Lenovo has shown at CES 2026 could be achieved. Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable (Concept). That is the name given to the laptop with a roll-up screen that Lenovo showed at CES in Las Vegas. It is, as its name indicates, a concept, that is, it is not for sale, but its proposal is striking. Lenovo is betting big on this technology with folding laptops and the roll-up concept we tested a few weeks agobut with this device the firm goes a little further. Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable | Image: Lenovo How it works. The laptop features a Lenovo PureSight OLED panel that, by default, has a size of 16 inches. Lenovo calls this size the “Focus mode.” Under the panel is a dual voltage-based motor that allows the screen to expand and contract “with minimal vibration and noise,” according to the firm. Lenovo also claims to have used low-friction materials and that the system maintains constant tension throughout the panel, which should translate into less abrasion during the winding cycle. From 16 to 24. The panel can be expanded in two sizes: from 16 to 21.5 inches (“Tactic mode”) and from 21.5 to 24 inches in a more panoramic format that Lenovo has dubbed “Arena mode.” This, depending on the player profile, may make all the sense in the world since it allows you to have an ultrawide monitor available at all times. Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable | Image: Lenovo Develop. If we take them seriously, competitive games win a whole lot if we play on a 16:9 monitor. Titles like ‘Counter Strike’, ‘Valorant’ or ‘League of Legends’ are played in 16:9 because this format allows you to see the entire screen without having to move your head. In some shooters, like ‘Battlefield 6‘, an ultrawide monitor moves the minimap, game and weapon information away from the center, forcing us to take our eyes off the reticle even more. That is to say, in games in which everything happens in the center and surrounding areas, a 16:9 monitor is the most suitable, at least on paper. However, simulation games, open exploration worlds or more cinematic games (think of a ‘Clair Obscure: Expedition 33‘, a ‘Cyberpunk 2077‘ or a ‘god of war‘) appreciate the panoramic format and the immersion they provide. The same with editing and productivity apps, which win in ultrawide. This laptop offers us, in theory, the best of both worlds: a 16:9 panel for shooters and competitive games; and an ultrawide panel for when we want to relax and enjoy a good story. But that, in theory, because the Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable is a concept and, as such, has yet to prove itself. And inside? Lenovo hasn’t left anything out. The laptop is based on the Legion Pro 7i, so it has a New generation Intel Core Ultraa NVIDIA RTX 5090 and the Lenovo AI Engine+. This uses Lenovo LA1+LA3 cores to optimize resources based on the gaming scenario, which, on paper, should conceptually keep the FPS up to par.

The Xiaomi Pad 7, the honor Pad 10 and the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro compete in the same land. Only one is reinforced for studies

by

When September arrives, for many it means the same: return to studies. It doesn’t matter the race that is being pursued, having the right tools always makes a difference when rendering to the maximum. The laptop is still a safe bet, but it is not the only one. Tablets have become an increasingly solid optionand in some cases they can even match or overcome the computer in certain tasks. In Xataka we resume our format Versus On our YouTube channelin which we face face -to -face devices to discover which one is worth more. We already did it with Sports watches of less than 200 euros and with Two of Amazon’s most popular air fryers. Now the focus is on three very competitive tablets: Xiaomi Pad 7, Honor pad 10 and Lenovo Idea Tab Pro. Our partner Ana Boria has tried these three models, which They are 350 eurosto check if this budget is sufficient to face your mission. For her, there are undeniable aspects: a large battery “to endure without problem as little, an entire day of institute or university, several storage options, and sufficient processor and RAM.” Although they start from a similar price, their differences are evident. The screen size is the first detail that attracts attention. “Of course, to use them in hand, the most comfortable and manageable is Xiaomi,” says Ana. His impressions about the other two are more critical: one feels too large and another adds more weight than expected. The perspective changes when placing them on the table. “To use them on a table, with keyboard or pencil, The truth is that the 3 are very comfortable. To write a lot or read, you appreciate having an extra inches. ”In addition, not everything is productivity, and in the entertainment section preferences may vary. “The 3 tablets have very good quality LCD screens. It has a lot of resolution, high level of detail, good colors and technologies that help reduce eye fatigue,” he explains. Even so, there are differences in resolution and refreshment rate that should be taken into account. The complete comparison is in the video. Ana also analyzed cameras, sound and performance. “Although on paper and according to Benchmarks, The Xiaomi tablet processor is betterthe truth is that the 3 behave wonderfully, ”he says. None of them gave it problems in their work sessions or in times of leisure. In an academic scenario, accessories make a difference. “For me, without a doubt, the keyboard is an almost mandatory purchase. If you are going to use the tablet to take it to class and take notes and notes, I think it is the most comfortable and quick way to work. I already tell you that when I used the Lenovo, I was missing a lot,” he says. The comparative also covers autonomy and artificial intelligence functions. After reviewing all the points, there is a clear winner. You can discover it in our last Versus: The final verdict is there, ready to help you decide. And if you feel like it, share your opinions in the comments, both here as on YouTube.

Lenovo Legion Go 2, characteristics, price and technical file

by

Lenovo wants to make it clear that he does not plan to be left behind. In the IFA has presented the Legion Go 2a device that inherits the DNA of The first generationbut with improvements that respond directly to the criticism and suggestions of the players. It is not just a successor, it is a message: the company has refined design, power and experience of use to compete from you to you in a market that already has very strong names. From Berlin we have been able to manipulate the new Legion Go, appreciate its ergonomics and observe its design closely. It is not time to draw conclusions or offer a first impression: here we will focus on the launch. The analysis will come when the console passes through our test bench, where we can evaluate it with the usual rigor and detail. Technical sheet of the new Lenovo Legion 2 Lenovo Legion Go 2 Size and weight Display: 206 x 136.7 x 22.95 mm PATALLA + Managers: 295.6 x 136.7 x 42.25 mm Drive screen – 920 grams Only controls – 210 grams SCREEN OLED of 8.8 inches Resolution 1920 X1200 Dring 144 Hz 97% DCI-P3 500 nits shine 10 -point multitactile Vesa Trueblack 1000 Certified PROCESSOR AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme 8 nuclei / 16 threads 15-30W CTDP GPU Integrated AMD Radeon 890m 16 cus RAM Up to 32 GB 8000 MHz LPDDR5X STORAGE Up to 2 TB M.2 2242 PCIE SSD (Gen 4) Expandable by microSD AUDIO Two upper speakers Double microphone Food and battery 74Whr battery 65 W adapter Wireless connectivity WIFI 6E Bluetootn 5.3 Physical connectivity 3.5 mm jack Two USB-C 4.0 SOFTWARE Windows 11 color Eclipse Black Prices From 999 euros A generation that polishes errors and reinforces its identity Trustrike commanders are one of the great changes in this second generation. Lenovo has opted to round the linessoften songs and offer a more natural ergonomics, thus responding to one of the criticism of the original model. The feeling in hand is more comfortable and allows long sessions without fatigue, according to the company. The FPS mode is maintained, turning the right command into a vertical mouse for shooting games. Joysticks with Hall effect and the pivotant D-Pad complete a proposal designed for precision and control, which is also retrocompatible. The screen is one of the most striking points of the Legion Go 2. Lenovo has opted for an 8.8 -inch OLED panel with Wuxga resolution and frequency of variable soda from 30 to 144 Hz, certified with HDR Trueblack 1000 to offer deep blacks and high contrast. The commitment to a panel of this level promises a fluid experience in both competitive titles and in narrative adventures. Lenovo has equipped the Legion Go 2 with a processor AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme Designed to offer sustained power in demanding games. Accompanied by Up to 32 GB of LPDDR5x memory At 8000 MHz and PCIE GEN4 storage of up to 2 TB, this set aims to move without problems AAA, independent and retro titles. In addition, it includes microSD slot compatible with additional up to 2 tb cards, allowing full game libraries. The manufacturer has also reinforced the autonomy of the console with a 74 WH battery, a 50% increase against the first generation. This increase is designed for those who spend hours away from home and need a team that holds intense game sessions without constant interruptions. This capacity jump is especially valued, which we will thoroughly evaluate in its analysis, but that aims to offer more game time without depending on a plug or being forced to play with the connected charger. The device maintains its commitment to versatility with console, tablet and portable modes, adapting to different scenarios of use. Lenovo has re -incorporated a rear foot, designed for those who want to play with the docked controls on a table. It also adds two USB4 portsone at the top and one in the lower one, which facilitate the use of docks and accessories without compromising ergonomics. To this is added a fingerprint reader in the ignition button, which speeds up access to the system and reinforces security. In the customization section, a new Legion Space arrives, which centralizes all games and system settings in a single interface, with quick options to change performance profiles or row controls. To this are added three programmable buttons that can be configured to execute concrete functions or shortcuts. Lenovo wants players to adjust the console in their own way, both in competitive games and in casual titles. Buttons are not missing. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6e and Bluetooth 5.3. It also incorporates stereo speakers and dual microphone. This set of specifications reflects a balance between power and functionality, designed for those who seek a complete portable console that does not sacrifice connectivity options or audio quality. The Legion Go 2 will be available as of September 2025, with an early price from 999 euros. The company thus points to the high range of portable gaming, reinforcing its commitment to a device that not only seeks power, but also a more complete use experience.
