Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Edition 362521
Os Brine da Intel, more powerful and ready for Copilot+ PCs, allowed the Lenovo develop an even thinner and lighter version of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, compared to the 12th generation model. Although the reduction of one hundredth of an inch in thickness, now with 0,58 inch, may seem minimal in the world of ultra-thin notebooks, the reduction ends up being something remarkable. What is most impressive are the promised performance improvements and the artificial intelligence capabilities.
In addition to enabling 100% of the functions of the Microsoft Copilot on Windows 11, the enhanced neural processor paved the way for Aura, a suite of AI tools designed by Lenovo to simplify notebook usage. These tools automatically adjust settings based on usage, saving the from having to navigate through menus, providing a more fluid and efficient experience.
ThinkBook Auto Twist d4824
Another news from Lenovo appeared in IFA 2024: a notebook that makes a spin 360º on screen. It is not necessarily a novelty, considering that the company itself already has similar devices in its portfolio, but the innovation here lies in the device's ability to do so through voice commands.
O ThinkBook Auto Twist is a notebook that opens, closes and rotates as requested. It even “dances”, displaying all its movements with the right command. Lenovo presented this technology as a proof of concept, but what caught the most attention was the “camera follow“This feature uses motors to rotate the screen sideways and tilt it up or down, following the movement of the ’s face. This functionality can be very interesting for presenters or teachers who speak to remote audiences.
While this behavior is not expected to be present in a specific configuration of the Thinkbook so soon, the Lenovo may incorporate aspects of this technology into future devices.
Acer Nitro Blaze 7 and DualPlay 1e1a39
O Acer Nitro Blaze 7 is the latest entrant to enter the handheld console market, yet another Windows device that reminds me of the Asus ROG Ally X. Equipped with a 7-inch IPS display, 1080p resolution and 144 Hz refresh rate, it also features 16 GB of LPDDR5x SDRAM memory, up to 2 terabytes of storage and the Ryzen 7 8840HS processor with integrated graphics AMD Radeon 780M.
A Acer launched a series of notebooks, desktops and monitors, but what caught the attention was the notebook concept DualPlay with a detachable controller. Attracted by magnets on the notebook Predator, the controller works like a trackpad when attached, but can be removed and used as a game controller, and can even be divided into two parts, similar to Joy-Con of the Nintendo Switch.
O DualPlay It also has two 5-watt speakers, which can be detached to provide an even more immersive sound experience. However, as this is a concept, there is still no prediction of when, or if, we will see something like this in a final product.
Honor Magic V3 3a126q
The latest foldable smartphone from Honor, MagicV3, is one of the thinnest in the world, measuring just 9,2 mm thick (0,36 inches).

Although the ASUS has not released full details of the specifications, the presence of the chips Intel Lunar Lake suggests that the NUC 14 Pro AI should come with either 16GB or 32GB of LPDDR5X-8533 RAM options. The chassis design reveals the inclusion of two USB 3.2 Type-A ports, a 3,5mm combo audio jack, and a Thunderbolt 4 port. As of now, the ASUS did not reveal the price or release date of the NUC 14 Pro AI.
Ki 556q23
Much is known about Qi wireless charging for smartphones. Now, the organization behind it, Wireless Power Consortium, is also developing the Ki standard for kitchens. O Ki allows you to transmit power wirelessly through countertops to power appliances such as blenders, kettles, slow cookers and other cordless appliances. Like Qi, it uses magnetic induction, but with the ability to deliver more power, which will até 2,2 kW.
There was a demonstration of this technology at CES for a few years now, but it's starting to take shape recently, with manufacturers showing off working prototypes. As devices that use Ki are wireless, they can also be dishwasher safe, eliminating the need for sockets and cables. The idea is that consumers can combine devices from different brands, such as Half, who made a presentation at IFA 2024, but brands like Beko, Philips, EGO e Honey also showed interest.
Technology faces a dilemma with the following question: “Why buy a Ki device without a Ki transmitter?“. A possible solution to this progressive adoption would be to integrate Ki into induction stoves, which could be a huge advantage for smaller kitchens, saving space.

Deepfake detector 6x355w
With the continuous evolution of deepfakes, the many risks they can pose are growing rapidly. Scammers are already using this technology to impersonate real people during video calls, making the ability to detect them crucial. Part of the investment by Honor em artificial intelligence includes a new deepfake detection system, presented by the company at IFA 2024. Running in real time on a branded notebook, the detector was able to analyze a video call and determine the probability of tampering. Although it is a prototype, it is likely to be made available for devices Honor as a software update when it is ready for the market.
