Leaked renders obtained by Windows Latest show an unannounced Lenovo laptop called the IdeaPad Vibe, which appears positioned to compete with Apple's MacBook Neo. The leaked images show the IdeaPad Vibe in seven colors: pink, yellow, orange-brown, green, navy blue, silver, and teal.

Each color option carries a matching Lenovo logo on the lid, while the keyboard deck stays dark gray across all versions. According to Windows Latest, file names attached to the leaked marketing material point to at least two hardware variants, one built around an AMD processor and another using a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip. Exact processor models have not been disclosed.

The leaked images also show a wider selection of ports than the MacBook Neo offers. The IdeaPad Vibe appears to include two USB-A ports on one side, with HDMI, two USB-C ports, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a microSD card reader on the other. The MacBook Neo, by comparison, ships with two USB-C ports and a headphone jack.

Other details visible in the renders include narrow display bezels, a webcam with a physical privacy shutter, speaker grilles flanking the keyboard, and a large centered trackpad. Neither the IdeaPad Vibe's pricing nor its release date has been reported.

Separately, Lenovo has listed a new budget laptop, the V15 Gen 6 AMD, on its PSREF specifications database, confirming the device alongside the existing Intel-based V15 Gen 6. The laptop uses AMD's Ryzen 10 Series chips, which are based on the older Zen 2 architecture, with configurations offering an Athlon Silver 10, Ryzen 3 30, or Ryzen 5 40 processor depending on the region. All three are 15W low-power chips.

The V15 Gen 6 AMD is listed with 8GB or 16GB of soldered LPDDR5-5500 memory, with no 32GB option available. Storage tops out at 512GB over a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, though Lenovo says real-world speeds will be closer to PCIe 3.0 x4. The laptop can be configured with either a TN or an IPS panel, both at 1920 x 1080 resolution and 300 nits of brightness.

Lenovo rates the 47Wh battery for up to 18.73 hours of local video playback at 200 nits, or 17.06 hours in PCMark 10 testing at 120 nits. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, two USB-C ports supporting up to 65W charging, two USB-A ports, HDMI 1.4, and an Ethernet jack. The laptop includes a full-size keyboard with a number pad, without backlighting.

Lenovo has listed configurations for the V15 Gen 6 AMD across markets in Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America, pointing to a broad global release, though the company has not confirmed pricing or an exact launch date.
