As popular as some of Apple TV's shows may seem, they're rarely able to compete with the kind of viewership the biggest hits on other platforms generally garner. For instance, it's extremely rare for an Apple TV series to find a spot on the weekly Nielsen rankings, an industry gold standard despite an overall lack of transparency. Netflix is the only platform that regularly shares viewership data, and confirming what the streamer has reported for the past month, the Harlan Coben mystery series I Will Find You topped the charts in its debut week with a record-breaking 1.8 billion minutes watched. There was, however, a rare Apple TV title on the list as well.

Audi is weighing a rugged flagship SUV to rival the G-Class.

Scout underpinnings could make an electric off-roader possible.

Concept C design language suits a squared-off body far better.

Audi meant it when it said the Concept C from last year would shape the design of future models. First out of the gate was the Lamborghini Temerario-powered Nuvolari , which takes that concept and turns it into something you can buy, but more are coming, and one of them may be a rugged SUV built to take on the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. That would be new territory for a company whose off-road ambitions have historically stopped at a raised Allroad wagon.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};

adpushup.que.push(function() {

if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){

adpushup.triggerAd("0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8");

} else {

adpushup.triggerAd("82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f");

}

});

As recently as this March, the German brand confirmed it was weighing a rugged flagship SUV , opening up a new market the car manufacturer hasn’t previously shown much interest in. Should that machine borrow from the Nuvolari the way the supercar borrowed from the Concept C, the result might land somewhere near this render from Nikita Chuyko for Kolesa.

We remain unconvinced that the flat shapes on the Concept C and Nuvolari suit a low-slung, two-door sports car, particularly next to the old Audi TT and R8. Stretch the same design language over an SUV, though, and Kolesa’s renderings make a far stronger case for it.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};

adpushup.que.push(function() {

if (adpushup.config.platform === "DESKTOP"){

adpushup.triggerAd("ea4d4b5a-f8e5-4d5d-9d9a-53a3b956b6cd");

} else{

}

The vehicle depicted in these renderings looks similar in overall stance and proportions to the Lexus GX, which is a massive compliment. The front looks especially imposing thanks to the slim LED headlights, the square central grille, and the two large blacked-out intakes below the headlights.

Other key elements of the design include a brutish front bumper and skid plate, suggesting this vehicle has serious off-road intent. The model also sits on large silver-and-black wheels with all-terrain tires. A squared-off roofline further adds to the model’s overall stance.

Spin around to the rear, and there are a pair of LED taillights, a spare wheel carrier, and a rear diffuser which, admittedly, looks a little out of place on a vehicle like this.

Scout Underpinnings?

Should Audi commit to a vehicle like this, it could share underpinnings with the Scout brand . That would open the door to all-electric and range-extender versions of the four-ring brand’s G-Class rival, while carrying over the hardware that makes the Scouts credible in the rough, front- and rear-locking differentials included, along with serious ground clearance.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};

adpushup.que.push(function() {

if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){

adpushup.triggerAd("bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c");

} else {

adpushup.triggerAd("9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751");

}

});

Audi may not be the only German brand circling this segment. BMW has its own G-Class rival in development under the G74 codename , expected to ride on a reworked version of the CLAR platform that underpins the X5. Both projects could end up being built in South Carolina, BMW at its existing Spartanburg plant and Audi alongside Scout in Blythewood, which would put two of Mercedes’ biggest rivals assembling rugged flagships in the same state.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};

adpushup.que.push(function() {

if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){

adpushup.triggerAd("bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c");

} else {

adpushup.triggerAd("9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751");

Lenovo introduces the first laptop using TCL CSOT’s inkjet OLED panel

Inkjet printing could reduce OLED production costs for future consumer devices

The Legion R9000P combines gaming performance with a sharper OLED display experience

Lenovo has launched the Legion R9000P as the world's first laptop featuring TCL CSOT's inkjet-printed OLED display technology.

The gaming laptop introduces a 16-inch IJP OLED panel designed to combine OLED image quality with a newer manufacturing process.

The launch marks the first commercial laptop use of TCL CSOT's display technology, which has been developed for more than a decade.

Legion R9000P brings a new OLED experience to laptops

The Legion R9000P uses a 240 Hz OLED display aimed at users who need smoother visuals during fast-moving gaming and entertainment content.

The panel covers more than 99% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, providing broad color reproduction for gaming, creative work, and multimedia consumption.

Lenovo says the display maintains consistent color performance across brightness levels, helping it serve different usage scenarios beyond gaming.

The screen also uses a Real RGB Stripe side-by-side subpixel arrangement, which addresses text clarity issues found on some traditional OLED layouts.

This design improves image sharpness by reducing color fringing and blurry text that can affect productivity tasks on OLED panels.

The display technology could make the Legion R9000P appealing beyond gaming users, including professionals seeking strong visual quality from portable computers.

This is a budget device that could pass for a business laptop with premium display features or even a student laptop with better visuals for demanding software.

Inkjet OLED could change future laptop displays

TCL CSOT's inkjet-printed OLED process differs from traditional vacuum thermal evaporation methods commonly used for OLED manufacturing.

The company uses inkjet printing to create organic light-emitting material layers, reducing reliance on expensive equipment and fine metal masks.

This simpler production approach could improve manufacturing efficiency and increase yields, potentially lowering costs as the technology matures.

TCL CSOT has worked on IJP OLED development for over 10 years, gradually expanding the technology toward commercial applications.

In November 2024, the company's 5.5-generation IJP OLED production line in Wuhan entered mass production and delivered its first product.

The company later announced construction of an 8.6-generation IJP OLED production line, marking another step toward larger-scale manufacturing.

TCL CSOT says the technology maintains OLED advantages such as high contrast and strong color performance while supporting broader applications.

Beyond laptops, the company expects inkjet-printed OLED panels could eventually reach monitors, televisions, and smartphones.

If production costs decrease, the technology could help bring higher-quality OLED displays to more affordable devices, including future budget laptop models.
