The new laptop weighs just 990 grams, making it easy to carry during daily commutes or travel. This release gives buyers a specific 14-inch alternative in Lenovo's current lineup without the bulk of heavier business machines.

Users get a 1200p IPS display that supports a 120 Hz refresh rate and covers 100% of the sRGB color space. The screen peaks at 400 nits of brightness, which handles indoor office lighting well. Storage starts with a 256 GB M.2 2242 SSD, and the chassis includes an empty M.2 2280 slot for future upgrades.
The device measures 312 x 217 x 12.9 to 15.6 mm and includes a haptic touchpad for navigation. Connectivity relies on 10 Gbps USB ports that support DisplayPort Alt Mode and USB Power Delivery. The system lacks Thunderbolt 4 ports, which keeps the internal architecture simpler but limits high-speed external peripheral options.
Pricing starts at $1,104 USD in the United States and CAD 1,529 (around $1,085) in Canada. Lenovo released the machine simultaneously in both North American markets. Potential buyers should note that Core Ultra 7 variants and 32 GB RAM options are not confirmed for this initial launch.
