Lenovo's MacBook Neo rival has landed a month early — but is it worth your money?
At $799.99, the Lenovo IdeaPad Vibe costs $100 more than the MacBook Neo it was built to match.
Lenovo's Lenovo IdeaPad Vibe 14Q8X12, a Snapdragon-powered laptop intended to compete with Apple's MacBook Neo, has hit the market a month earlier than originally planned. Priced at $799.99 in the US for an 8GB and 256GB configuration, it is $100 higher than both Lenovo's own IFA promise and the base MacBook Neo's current price of $699.99.
While the Vibe offers more ports, a backlit keyboard, color options, and a higher RAM limit, its memory is non-upgradable and its screen resolution lags behind Apple's device. Despite Lenovo's earlier arrival and better specifications in some areas, the Vibe's higher price and lack of upgradeability make it a less appealing choice compared to Apple's MacBook Neo for many potential buyers.
