Lenovos new $699 MacBook Neo rival comes in two sizes and a rainbow of colors

Yet another Windows alternative to the MacBook Neo lands this fall.

Announced today at IFA, an annual tech trade show in Berlin, Lenovo's IdeaPad Vibe is a new premium-built budget laptop with a full rainbow of colorways and a plethora of configuration and customization options.

The new laptop also comes in two screen sizes, multiple processor flavors, and has upgradable RAM and storage.

Its reveal confirms a leak from mid-August.

The IdeaPad Vibe measures 0.59 inches thin, making it less than a tenth of an inch thicker than a MacBook Neo.

Credit: Lenovo The IdeaPad Vibe launches this October with AMD Ryzen AI 400 series processors and in November with Qualcomm's Snapdragon X chips starting at $699.99, according to a company press release.

More models with Intel processors are in the works.

In its release, Lenovo billed the IdeaPad Vibe as "an AI PC that is ready to perform and designed to stand out, no matter what a person’s vibe is." Lenovo IdeaPad Vibe specs and features The IdeaPad Vibe has customizable keycaps (sold separately).

Credit: Lenovo The IdeaPad Vibe will come in 14- and 15-inch sizes that start at 2.87 pounds and 3.31 pounds, respectively, making it slightly bigger than the 13-inch, 2.7-pound MacBook Neo, Apple's mega-popular $699 notebook .

Both sizes will be available with AMD or Qualcomm CPU offerings at the $700 price point; there's no upcharge for a bigger screen.

The IdeaPad Vibe will come in seven hues that Lenovo developed with the help of the Pantone Color Institute: Chill Blue, Moody Blue, Dreamy Violet, Lowkey Grey, Radiant Coral, Spicy Gold, and Zen Green.

Lenovo will sell swappable keycaps that make it even more personalizable.

Credit: Joseph Maldonado / CNET Group Most configurations of the IdeaPad Vibe will have a fully metal chassis in the vein of the Neo, though some AMD models will have metal housing with ridged plastic bottom covers.

When asked whether there were any pricing or spec differences between each build type, a Lenovo spokesperson told Mashable that "a lot of that is hard to determine right now." We should get more details at launch.
