- Mechrevo’s Yaoshi 18 Pro made its debut at CES with minimal fanfare
- The laptop has an unusually large 18-inch screen for mainstream devices
- The Nvidia RTX 50 Series GPU handles graphics and AI tasks
Mechrevo quietly showed off a high-performance laptop at CES 2026 under the name Yaoshi 18 Pro, which drew limited attention despite unusually bold hardware claims.
The device appeared with prominent Intel and Nvidia branding, suggesting a collaboration focused on high-performance computing rather than consumer portability.
Its presence at the show was understated, yet the specs displayed on nearby signs immediately raised questions about accuracy and intent.
Yaoshi 18 Pro – big but unnoticed?
The most visually dominant feature is an 18-inch display that anchors the system’s physical identity.
Mechrevo’s booth materials emphasized scale and immersion, using the phrase “Immersion, more than just big” to describe the screen experience.
No figures for resolution or refresh rate were visible, leaving the panel’s actual technical value unclear despite the marketing’s emphasis on size.
An 18-inch format already places the device among the largest laptops currently circulating in mainstream markets.
The Yaoshi 18 Pro was tagged to run an Intel Core Ultra 300HX series processor, a designation that Intel has not formally announced.
HX-class chips traditionally indicate high power limits and desktop-level ambitions, but the specific numbering hints at a generation that Intel hasn’t publicly disclosed.
Whether this reflects an internal roadmap reference or a display error remains unresolved.
Graphics branding was more straightforward, with repeated confirmations of an Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 Series Laptop GPU.
Nvidia promotional cards refer to “RTX. It’s On,” reinforcing expectations around ray-tracing, AI acceleration, and advanced computing workloads.
Another display card mentioned personal LLMs, which involved local AI tasks rather than pure game scenarios.
At the event, the poster offered very limited information about the device itself.
Several icons suggested features related to cooling, performance tuning, and productivity, but there were no measurable specs, benchmarks, or comparisons to back up the claims.
At the time of writing, there is no information available on pricing, launch timelines or regional availability.
The Yaoshi 18 Pro looks set to sit within a growing class of oversized laptops that trade mobility for raw computing power.
There is still uncertainty about the specified processor. If the information is accurate, it would point to an unusually early public appearance of unannounced hardware. If not, it likely reflects a simple but consequential typo that escaped notice.
