Lenovo has introduced a budget-friendly LCD version of its ThinkBook X AI 2026 laptop in China, giving buyers a cheaper entry point into the Core Ultra series. The new Zhaoyang Yue Air 14 drops the premium OLED screen and larger battery found in the global model to hit a lower price tag. This trade-off matters for shoppers who prioritize portability and processing power over display vibrancy and extended unplugged runtime.

Budget laptop swaps OLED for LCD to cut costs

The laptop pairs an Core Ultra 7 258V processor with 32 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. Lenovo lists the device on JD.com as a distinct model that shares the chassis design of its more expensive sibling. This configuration targets users who need strong multitasking performance for daily workloads without paying for the OLED display upgrade.

Specifications

  • Display: 14-inch IPS, 1920 x 1200, 100% sRGB, 120 Hz
  • Processor: Intel Core Ultra 7 258V
  • Memory: 32 GB RAM
  • Storage: 512 GB SSD (dual slots)
  • Battery: 54.7 Wh

The 14-inch IPS display runs at 1920 x 1200 resolution with 100% sRGB coverage and a 120 Hz refresh rate. Connectivity includes dual-antenna Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth, two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, an HDMI output, and a combo audio jack. The chassis measures 12.9 mm thick and weighs approximately 1 kg, maintaining the ultraportable form factor of the ThinkBook X series.

Lenovo reduced the battery capacity to 54.7 Wh compared to the 65 Wh unit in the global ThinkBook X AI 2026. The laptop carries a price of CNY 8,499, which translates to around $1,258, down from the original CNY 8,999 listing. This pricing makes the device a competitive option for budget-conscious buyers in the Chinese market who still want a modern, high-refresh-rate screen.
