- Mechrevo’s Yaoshi 18 Pro debuted at CES to minimal fanfare
- The laptop features an unusually large 18-inch screen for conventional devices.
- 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, attracting limited attention despite unusually bold hardware claims.
The device appeared under prominent Intel and Nvidia brands, suggesting a collaboration focused on high-performance computing rather than consumer portability.
Its presence at the show was understated, however, the specifications 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 big” to describe the on-screen experience.
No resolution or refresh rate figures were seen, leaving the actual technical merit of the panel unclear despite the marketing emphasis on size.
The 18-inch format already places the device among the largest laptops currently circulating in the main markets.
The Yaoshi 18 Pro was labeled running 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 suggests a generation that Intel has not publicly detailed.
Whether this reflects an internal routing reference or a display error is still unresolved.
The graphics brand was more straightforward, with repeated confirmation of an Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 series laptop GPU.
Nvidia’s promotional cards referenced “RTX. It’s On,” reinforcing expectations around ray tracing, AI acceleration, and advanced computing workloads.
Another display card mentioned personal LLMs, which involves local AI tasks rather than purely gaming 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 specs, benchmarks, or measurable comparisons to back up the claims.
As of this writing, there is no information available on pricing, release schedules, or regional availability.
The Yaoshi 18 Pro appears to belong to a growing class of large laptops that trade mobility for raw computing power.
Uncertainty persists around the processor included in the list. If the information is accurate, it would point to an unusually early public appearance of hardware without warning. Otherwise, it probably reflects a simple but important typo that went unnoticed.
