Lenovo has exposed the IdeaPad Vibe, a new laptop designed to compete directly with Apple's entry-level MacBook Neo. This device matters because it offers a more versatile port selection for users who need to connect legacy peripherals without adapters. Buyers who rely on USB-A, HDMI, or microSD cards will find this laptop more practical than the MacBook Neo out of the box.
