Lenovo Yoga AIO i Aura Edition desktop — Lenovo

The likes of Dell, HP, and Lenovo have been offering sleek all-in-one (AIO) desktop PCs for years, but Apple usually takes the cake with the iMac. The mix of reliable performance, ecosystem perks, and peppy design often keeps it at the top of my recommendation list. At CES 2026, Lenovo is redrawing the lines with one of the most beautiful AIO machines I have ever seen.

An eye candy with practical perks

Lenovo’s latest is the Yoga AIO i Aura Edition, a desktop with a floating glass design, similar to the LG Wallpaper TV that was announced a few days ago. The glass portion at the base of the screen is part of a seamless monolithic design, and it actually lights up.

Now, this isn’t just any light. Instead, it dances to the tune of whatever you are watching on the screen, almost like one of those mood light kits. But it has a functional side to it, as well, when you’re not in the binge-watching or gaming mood.

Lenovo says the Adaptive Lighting in the glass portion will also light up in response to notifications. Moreover, the light colors are customizable, so you can set a distinct hue for each kind of software alert. To go with it, the Yoga AIO i Aura Edition also throws Karmon Kardon speakers with Dolby Atmos tuning into the mix.

Plenty of substance, too

Now, the latest desktop from Lenovo is not all about lights and sleek aesthetics. There’s plenty of substance here that even makes the iMac feel outdated. To start, you get a much sharper 4K OLED screen up front, instead of the LCD display on Apple’s desktop.

Additionally, the display supports up to 165Hz refresh rate, putting it squarely in the territory of gaming hardware. It comes equipped with Intel’s latest Core Ultra X7 358H processor, paired with 32GB of RAM and up to 2TB of storage. There’s even a dedicated privacy shutter for the webcam.

The 16-megapixel webcam module at the top also sits alongside an IR sensor, which enables biometric authentication using face unlock. There are a pair of USB-C and USB-A ports, each, at the back, alongside another USB-C port on the side.

Overall, it’s one of the most stylish and well-equipped desktop PCs heading to the market, and it will likely win some iMac converts. The Lenovo Yoga AiO i Aura Edition starts at $2,399.99 and will be available in the second quarter of 2026.

The refurbished MacBook Neo may be your best way around Apple’s price hike

MacBook Neo has hit Apple’s refurbished store after its price increase

The MacBook Neo launched in March as Apple’s most affordable notebook, but it has already been caught in the company’s recent price hike. The base model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage now costs $699, while the 512GB version with Touch ID is priced at $799.

Just days later, Apple has already listed refurbished MacBook Neo models on its online store, giving buyers a cheaper official option, though the savings are not as generous as you might expect.

This cross-device clipboard app solves the copy-paste problem I keep running into on my Mac

ClipboardAI keeps a searchable history of everything you copy

Text, Electronics, Mobile Phone

I have lost count of how many times I have copied something important, copied another thing before pasting it, and then realized the first item was gone. It is a small frustration, but it happens often enough to become annoying. I recently came across ClipboardAI, which caught my attention because it goes beyond Apple’s built-in clipboard by saving copied items into a searchable history.

Instead of replacing the last thing you copied every time, ClipboardAI keeps a searchable record of copied text, links, codes, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, and images across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. That means an older clip does not disappear just because you copied something new.

If you miss the feel of paper in the digital age, this app gives your Mac’s screen a textured look

Most screen-comfort tools work by changing color temperature. Apple’s Night Shift makes the screen warmer, often giving everything an orange tint. Paperman is an interesting alternative because it adds a subtle paper-like texture over the display instead.

The app is available for Mac and Windows, and it is designed to make a screen look closer to paper, matte glass, or an e-ink display. It softens the harsh contrast and reduces the glossy look of modern screens during long reading or writing sessions.
