Four AirJet Modules Cool 20 Watts in Lenovo’s AeroBlade

Dark technical cover with a grid of thirty cells drawn to scale: twenty lit amber cells stand for the 20W of processor power Lenovo's AeroBlade concept supports, and ten unlit cells complete the 30W the four AirJet Mini modules are rated to dissipate. Headline reads Lenovo AeroBlade, no fans, 30W rated, 20W supported.

Four solid-state cooling modules and no fans in a 10mm Lenovo concept, Eizo's first ColorEdge OLED and the one year of cover on its panel, and an AIO built to be refilled.

Alienware’s 32-Inch RGB-Stripe WOLED Arrives at $699

Feature image comparing two OLED subpixel layouts as exact counts, to scale and at the same slab size: four slabs on the left for the white, red, green and blue elements of a WRGB pixel, three on the right for the red, green and blue of the Alienware AW3226Q's RGB-stripe tandem WOLED, under the headline that the panel has three subpixels, not four.

Alienware's AW3226Q puts LG Display's RGB-stripe tandem WOLED into a 32-inch 4K screen for $699, and gives up SDR brightness to do it. Acer's IFA range climbs to 1000Hz, and Lexar's 3.8mm SSD drops the USB-C socket.

What an SSD Warranty Actually Refunds in a Shortage

Amber chart drawn to scale: a 4TB portable SSD's street price climbing from its $199.99 invoice to the above-$500 listing reported in August 2026, with a dashed reference line on the same scale at the $199.99 the warranty refund pays and a bracket marking the gap between them. Headline reads SSD warranty refunds, $200 back, $500+ to replace.

A failed drive is now settled by a clause most buyers never read, YMTC wants the NAND crown by 2027, and Samsung's new Odyssey OLEDs change subpixels rather than headline numbers.
