Cons
- No US price or availability confirmed; Lenovo says it ships only in select markets
- Base panel is 1920x1200 IPS at 400 nits; sources disagree on whether its refresh rate is 60Hz or 120Hz, so it is left unlisted
- Windows on Arm, so apps without native Arm builds run through emulation
- No fingerprint reader, and independent battery and performance testing of this 13-inch model is not yet available
