Unfortunately, we cannot find the laptop priced at Lenovo's promised $699. Instead, prices start at $799 in the US with the Qualcomm Snapdragon X X1-26-100, 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD. Meanwhile, the IdeaPad Vibe 14Q8X12 has reached Canada, the UK, the Eurozone, Malaysia and Singapore for CAD 1,099, £780, €849-€999, MYR 4,939 and SGD 1,379, respectively.
It is worth noting that Lenovo configures the laptop outside North America with 512 GB of storage by default. Also, while the company sells optional 16 GB of RAM configurations in most markets, it only offers 8 GB of RAM in parts of the Eurozone. Setting that aside, all SKUs ship with a 50 Wh battery and a 1200p IPS display with 400 nits peak brightness, a 60 Hz refresh rate and 45% NTSC colour space coverage. Pre-orders should start shipping on October 28.
