Lenovo IdeaPad Vibe leaks as a colourful MacBook Neo rival with six ports and Qualcomm Snapdragon or AMD options

Q: Could an upcoming MacBook Neo refresh affect the IdeaPad Vibe’s competitiveness and what upgrade is mentioned?

Yes. The article says Apple is planning a 2027 MacBook Neo refresh that would bring the A19 Pro chip and a 50 percent memory increase from 8GB to 12GB, which could narrow Lenovo’s opportunity to challenge the Neo. It adds that this gives Lenovo a relatively small window to compete before Apple’s upgrade arrives.

Leaked renders show Lenovo's IdeaPad Vibe in seven colours with six ports and Qualcomm Snapdragon or AMD options, but pricing is unknown.

Apple's MacBook Neo shook up the budget laptop market when it launched earlier this year, and Windows manufacturers have been scrambling to respond ever since. Lenovo appears to be next in line, with leaked renders obtained by Windows Latest showing an unannounced laptop called the IdeaPad Vibe.

Lenovo's attempt is positioned directly against the MacBook Neo in both price and personality, and you can see that in the IdeaPad Vibe's colour options. Seven of them are reportedly planned: blush pink, bright yellow, terracotta orange-brown, sage green, navy blue, silver, and mint teal.

Each has a matching Lenovo logo on the lid, while the keyboard deck stays dark grey across all variants. Unlike the MacBook Neo's four colour options, Lenovo is going much wider here, which makes sense given how much the Neo's colourful design has contributed to its appeal among students.
