At IFA Berlin 2026, Lenovo showed off Project AeroBlade, a concept laptop that replaces traditional fans and heatsinks with Frore Systems' AirJet Mini air-pressure cooling modules. The design uses four embedded AirJet units to push high-speed air across a copper base to dissipate CPU heat, enabling a thinner chassis, quieter operation, and room for a larger battery. Lenovo is the first PC maker to demonstrate the technology, though the partnership with Frore is not exclusive.

Lenovo is showing off a ThinkBook-based concept called Project AeroBlade at IFA 2026, which replaces traditional fans with Frore's AirJet solid-state cooling technology. The device is under 10mm thick and weighs less than 1.8 pounds, making it thinner and lighter than a current ThinkPad X1 Carbon while still running active cooling nearly as quietly as a MacBook Air. It currently runs an Intel Lunar Lake chip with Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 7, and an OLED display, though Lenovo says a shipping version would likely use a newer processor.
