Because of IFA 2025, laptops are now lighter, thinner, smarter, and more adaptable than ever before. These eight portables redefine what it means to be “portable” with features like revolving screens, enormous trackpads, local AI power, and gaming beasts in svelte bodies.
At IFA, the Acer Swift Air 16 (Copilot+ PC) stands out for cramming AMD’s Ryzen AI 300 Series (up to Ryzen AI 7 350) into a magnesium-aluminum alloy body. With its IPS panel, it weighs less than 1 kg (~0.99 kg), making it one of the lightest full-size laptops available.
Though the trade-off is a small 50Wh battery that allows for about 13 hours of video playback, it offers options for a 2.8K AMOLED 120Hz display, integrated Radeon graphics, up to 32 GB RAM, and a 1TB SSD despite its thin and light chassis.
The Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 3 is designed to be the best. It has Nvidia RTX Pro 5000 Blackwell graphics, a massive 12 TB of PCIe Gen5 SSD storage, up to 192 GB of DDR5 RAM, and Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX / Ultra 200HX processors.
Although it is heavy due to its 16-inch OLED screen, full-size ports (including Ethernet), and a large ~100 Wh battery, it is a true desktop replacement that you can carry around occasionally. It does what pros need for CAD, video editing, and AI tasks.
The Helios 18P AI combines powerful workstation capabilities with gamer aesthetics. It is designed to support both demanding AI workloads and high-FPS gaming locally. It has an 18-inch Mini-LED display at 4K (3840×2400) and 120Hz, as well as an Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX CPU, NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPU, and generous RAM/SSD options (up to ~192 GB / 6 TB).
Although its weight (~3.5 kg) makes it more transportable than truly portable, Acer manages to keep it relatively thin (≈17.3 mm) for such a large chassis despite its power. Heat pipes and metal fans are examples of cooling technology that attempt to subdue the beast.
With the new MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910 (which has an integrated NPU and about 50 TOPS) for on-device AI performance, the Chromebook Plus Spin 514 is Acer’s flagship convertible. Wi-Fi 7, a robust MIL-STD build, a 14-inch WQXGA+ (2880×1800) or WUXGA (1920×1200) touch screen (60Hz or 120Hz), up to 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB of UFS storage, and a battery that lasts for about 17 hours thanks to its 70Wh cell.
At 1.36 kg and only 15.5 mm thick, it strikes a balance between portability, flexibility (360° hinge + stylus support), and power.
With its 14-inch display that can physically rotate 90 degrees (landscape ↔ portrait) using a pivot track mechanism, Lenovo’s ThinkBook VertiFlex Concept is perfect for reading, coding, editing documents, and multitasking between orientations. It weighs roughly 1.39 kg and maintains a slim 17.9 mm profile despite its flexibility, making it reasonably light for what it provides.
Among other useful features, the device supports Lenovo Smart Connect, which enables you to mirror or tether your phone when the laptop is in portrait mode. Standard ports include USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, and 3.5 mm audio.
The ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition maintains its incredibly powerful internals, including a 1TB PCIe SSD, 32GB LPDDR5x RAM, 14- and 15-inch Copilot+ PC options, and a new Glacier White color at IFA. The display has a full 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, a high-end 2.8K OLED (touch/non-touch), 120Hz VRR, and HDR600 with brightness levels of 500–1100 nits.
Notable features also include an 80-Wh battery, Eyesafe® display certification, and a build quality that combines enterprise durability with style.
With an 8.8-inch OLED display running at 144Hz + VRR and HDR TrueBlack 1000, Lenovo’s Legion Go 2 goes above and beyond, providing sharper graphics and more fluid gameplay. Under the hood are AMD Ryzen Z2 or Z2 Extreme, up to 2TB PCIe Gen4 SSD storage, and up to 32GB of fast RAM.
Although the improved specifications come at a noticeably higher cost, the battery receives a significant upgrade (approximately 74 Wh), and the controllers are detachable and ergonomically improved.
