The screen dominates the hardware specifications with a 14-inch OLED panel. It delivers a resolution of 2880×1800 pixels and refreshes at 120Hz. The display reaches 1100 nits of peak brightness and covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut.
Memory and storage configurations pair different RAM amounts with SSD capacities. Buyers can choose between 16GB of RAM with a 512GB drive or 32GB of RAM paired with a 1TB solid-state drive. The higher-end configuration requires the Ultra 5 228V processor.
Pricing starts at 5999 CNY (about $884) for the base model with the Ultra 5 226V chip, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Lenovo lists the upgraded version with the Ultra 5 228V, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD at 7499 CNY (about $1,105).
