Lenovo launches new mini-PC with Intel Panther Lake, 64 GB RAM and 2.5 GbE Ethernet
Lenovo has had a busy few weeks with regard to its mini-PC and desktop PC series. To recap, the company launched the ThinkCentre X Ultra, ThinkCentre M75q Gen 6 and the ThinkCentre M75s Gen 6 last week at IFA 2026 in Berlin. Now, the company has unveiled a new mini-PC under its Bellator sub-brand built around Intel's Panther Lake platform.
It is worth noting that the device's name does not translate well into English. For instance, the name given in Simplified Chinese roughly translates as Laiku Warrior, Cool Fighter or the Legion Challenger. For brevity's sake, we will refer to the device as the Legion Challenger.
Setting naming aside, the mini-PC has what appears to be a metal housing. From the images shared so far, we can determine that the Laiku Warrior will ship with the following ports:
- 1x 3.5 mm jack
- 1x DC input
- 1x DisplayPort
- 1x HDMI
- 2x RJ45 2.5 GbE Ethernet
- 4x USB Type-A
- 1x USB Type-C
Moreover, Lenovo has confirmed that the Legion Challenger will offer up to 180 TOPS of AI performance. From that, we can infer that the mini-PC will contain up to a 16-core processor rather than Intel's 6-core, 8-core, 12-core and 14-core counterparts.
With that being said, it is unclear whether Lenovo will opt for X-series processors with Arc B390 iGPUs like the Asus NUC 16 Pro (curr. $1,699 on Amazon). Instead, Lenovo has confirmed that the Legion Challenger will also be available with up to 64 GB of LPDDR5 RAM. Pricing remains unknown at this point though, as does an official launch date.
