In addition to allowing the members of the media to be acquainted with the Vibe Shot, Lenovo also launched three new budget-centric notebook PCs namely the Ideapad 100 (14 and 15-inch variants), Z41 and the Z51.
The cheapest of the three laptops that were launched is the Lenovo Ideapad 100 which starts USD299. It’s available in 14 and 15-inch models (both of which have 1366 x 768 screen resolution) and can support up to Pentium N3540, 8GB of RAM and either 500GB of hard drive or 128GB of SSD.
Sadly, Lenovo had to cut some corners to keep the price down, which in the case of the Ideapad 100 comes in the form of 30WHr battery pack that’s only rated to last for four (4) hours.
Next up is the Lenovo Z41 which offers more respectable performance as suggested by its inner workings. It can run on either 5th Generation Intel Core i5 or i7 dual core processors which can be supplemented by up to 16GB of DDR3L RAM and an AMD R7-M360 dedicated video card.
For storage, consumers can choose between a 1TB hard drive or a solid-state hybrid drive of the same capacity. Unfortunately, despite having a bigger battery pack than the Ideapad 100, the Z41’s 41WHr battery source is also only rated to give users four (4) hours of mileage on single full charge.
The base configuration of the Lenovo Z41 will retail for USD499.
Lastly, we have the Lenovo Z51 which is virtually identical to the Z41 in terms of specs, but with a larger 15-inch IPS display with 1920 x 1080 resolution. The only real difference between the two other than the screen size is the option to add an AMD R9-M375 GPU in the mix for better graphics performance.
The additional 1-inch of screen real estate will set you back and additional $100 on top of the aforementioned retail price of the Z41.
All of the three new notebook PCs that Lenovo launched will be available next month. Local pricing and availability were not mentioned during the announcement.
