Lenovo is starting pre-orders for the Lecoo Pro 16. This is a laptop aimed at enthusiasts that need desktop-like performance in a portable package. This is an important release as it's offering high-end internals and a wide range of connectivity options in a laptop that tips the scales at just 1.75kg. If you're in the market for a beastly system that doesn't demand all the real estate of a desktop-tower form-factor, this is one to look out for.

It features an Intel Core Ultra X9 378H CPU that Lenovo claims can unleash up to 80W performance release. This seems to indicate that this is a system designed for sustained operation, not just short-burst bursts of speed. It's equipped with 32GB LPDDR5X-8533 memory. 1TB of PCIe SSD storage is present for quick data access.
Specifications
- Processor: Intel Core Ultra X9 378H
- Memory: 32GB LPDDR5X-8533
- Storage: 1TB PCIe SSD
- Display: 2560×1600 120Hz 500nits
- Battery: 90Whr
There's a 2560×1600 screen running at 120Hz. The screen reaches 500nits brightness and has high color gamut support for accurate image rendering. It's packed into a laptop that has a 90Whr battery to help compensate for the power draw of the high performance CPU/GPU.
It has OCuLink connectivity, which is a port for external storage or GPU expansion. There's a 1GbE RJ-45 Ethernet port. 2x USB-C (1x 40Gbps), and a bunch of USB-A ports. We've previously written about the Lenovo LOQ 15 Gaming Laptop Arrives in the earlier Lenovo coverage, though that's aimed at a different market (with an RTX 3050 GPU).
The Lecoo Pro 16 will be available from October 30, 2024 at 20:00, in China. The normal price is 9999CNY or ~$1495. Subsidy and platform discount can bring the price down to 7649.15CNY or ~$1143. So the high spec config becomes affordable for the budget-conscious enthusiasts.
