Lenovo is one of those companies, but you won’t have to wait long to find out everything they will be introducing. A big leak has revealed all of Lenovo’s upcoming laptops, including tech specs, pricing, and availability details.

It seems that the company doesn’t want to leave any segment uncovered with its new lineup.

Big leak reveals all the details of Lenovo’s upcoming laptops

At IFA 2024, Lenovo will be unveiling the Intel-powered Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition. The Aura Edition laptops feature a series of “Smart Modes” that tweak certain parameters according to the user’s needs. The Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition will be no exception, offering up to four modes. Users will be able to choose between “Attention Mode” (blocks distracting websites), Wellness features (visual care and posture warning reminders), “Collaboration tools” (image quality improvements for video meetings), and “Shield Mode” (privacy alerts and auto prompt VPN).

Other useful features of the Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition include Smart Share and Smart Care. Smart Share is a drag-and-drop image-sharing system between phones and laptops. To trigger it, you simply need to tap the edge of the screen with a “supported smartphone.” On the other hand, Smart Care is the company’s customer service platform. Lenovo boasts of offering real-time support via chat or phone calls with its agents.

As its name suggests, the IdeaPad Slim 5’s design is all about thinness and lightness. The devices aim to enhance productivity and entertainment wherever you are. Unlike the Yoga Pro 7, the IdeaPad Slim 5 series relies on LCD technology to cut costs. However, both displays have WUXGA resolution and cover 100% of the sRGB color space. Anyway, Lenovo will offer a variant of the IdeaPad Slim 5 15″ with a 2.5K OLED display for those looking for higher image quality.

The 2-in-1 variant prioritizes versatility, albeit at the cost of some RAM and thinness.

The IdeaPad Slim 5x would have up to 32 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1 TB of SSD storage. On the other hand, the tablet-laptop hybrid version will feature a maximum of 16 GB of RAM. Anyway, both models share a 14″ display. The Lenovo IdeaPad 300 is a 60Hz WUXGA OLED with 400 nits of peak brightness and a 57 WHr battery.
