The arrival of the MacBook Neo seems to have reminded other PC makers that people like color (and relative affordability), and the IdeaPad Vibe line appears to be Lenovo\u2019s answer to both. Starting at $699 when they arrive later this year and offered in 14- or 15-inch screen sizes, the laptops will feature seven color options and either an all-metal chassis or a metal lid and keyboard deck, with a plastic bottom. In a twist, the company will also offer swappable keycaps (pretty uncommon in the laptop space) that can either match your laptop\u2019s color or veer away from it for some striking contrast.<\/p>\n

Lenovo says the laptops will start at 1.3kg (2.87 pounds), offer up to 24GB or 32GB of RAM (more with the AMD-based models, where you can also opt for a larger 65 WHr battery), and feature either 120 Hz IPS or OLED screens. Oddly, the OLED options will only be offered in the most subdued hues \u2013 lowkey gray and moody blue.<\/p>\n

Internally, the Vibes feature two M.2 SSD slots and will be offered with either Qualcomm\u2019s Snapdragon X or AMD\u2019s Ryzen AI 400, and a 50 WHr battery as standard. Lenovo easily beats the MacBook Neo and Dell\u2019s XPS 13 on ports, offering two USB Type-A and two Type-C ports (though they are all capped at 5 GB\/s), along with HDMI, a headphone jack, and a microSD card slot.<\/p>\n

Of course, given that both the AMD and Qualcomm chips feature prominent NPUs, Lenovo is also pushing its cross-platform Qira AI (also offered in Motorola phones), which the company says \u201cfeatures Workato-powered connections such as email, calendar, and collaboration services, helping users find relevant information and move from intent to action through natural-language requests with less app switching.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lenovo notes that Qira will only be offered \u201con select configurations,\u201d and RAM is listed across the lineup simply as \u201cup to 24GB.\u201d Given the high price of memory these days, the $699 starting configs will almost certainly ship with just 8GB of RAM. So don\u2019t expect the lower-end configurations to be particularly friendly when it comes to local AI tasks.<\/p>\n

Lenovo says the AMD-based IdeaPad Vibe laptops will arrive first, starting in October, while Snapdragon models will land in November. And the company promises Intel options as well, arriving at an as-yet undisclosed date.<\/p>\n

If you like the colors offered on the Vibe line, but don\u2019t need portability, Lenovo will also be offering its IdeaCentre AIO i with Intel Core Series 3 CPUs and a 27-inch screen in similar colors. It will ship with a matching keyboard and mouse, starting at $939 in November.<\/p>\n
