Lenovo's Project AeroBlade concept laptop uses solid-state cooling for ultra-thin design

Lenovo unveiled Project AeroBlade, a 14-inch concept laptop that measures under 10mm thick and weighs less than 1.8 pounds. It employs Frore's AirJet solid-state cooling technology, which uses piezoelectric membranes instead of fans, making it nearly silent. The concept is based on a ThinkBook design and demonstrates potential for fanless active cooling.

EXPANDED:

The AeroBlade's cooling system relies on piezoelectric membranes that vibrate to push air through the chassis, eliminating conventional fan assemblies entirely. This approach also removes the need for bottom vents, which reduces dust accumulation over time. Frore's AirJet technology has previously appeared in prototype webcams, tablets, mini PCs, and even a Steam Deck, though commercial adoption has remained limited.

The concept currently runs on an Intel Lunar Lake processor with Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, Wi-Fi 7, and an OLED panel. Lenovo's Jeff Witt indicated that a
