Nvidia's still-yet-to-be-announced N1X Arm chip is referenced on a Lenovo login page, so make of that what you will
Hunting for fresh news of Nvidia's long-awaited, yet-to-be-announced N1 and N1X laptop chips is pretty difficult these days. Reports earlier this year suggested the new chips would be out by March, but here we are in May with not a lot to go on beyond rumour and speculation.
Other than a Lenovo login page mention, of course. That's new (via Videocardz). A dropdown menu on the Lenovo ADFS login page has two entries noting the fabled chip, one labelled "Nvidia N1X Portal PROD" and the other "Nvidia N1X Portal Test."
It's not the first time Lenovo has been linked to potential Nvidia-chipped laptop models. At the start of this year, the "Legion 7 12N1X11" appeared as a supported model for its Legion Space software, while a dataminer also found mention of several upcoming Lenovo models with N1 and N1X designations.

So as secrets go, it's not a particularly well kept one. And in all honesty, test portals being prepared for upcoming laptops using the chips is no great surprise.
But it's been a long time coming, and if the cadence of these leaks is anything to go by, we may be tantalisingly close to an official reveal. Computex 2026 kicks off next week, and if I were a betting man, I'd put good money on at least some mention of the near-mythical Nvidia laptop chip line being made then—if not a full-blown announcement.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has confirmed that the new offerings will be based on the GB10 "Superchip" found in the DGX Spark, although how that manifests in practice is yet to be officially revealed. Previous rumours have suggested the N1X is a 20-core CPU with a large Blackwell-based GPU, potentially with as many CUDA cores as the RTX 5070.
If that's even close to accurate, the Nvidia beasties may well be one of the biggest and most interesting hardware releases of the year—if the X86 emulation is all fine and dandy, of course. Or we could be left waiting once more. Tune in next week to find out?
