Lenovo’s new MacBook Neo competitor comes in two sizes and seven colors

Lenovo is announcing the IdeaPad Vibe, a productivity laptop aimed at taking on the MacBook Neo with a similar starting price and a wider range of colors. The Vibe comes in 14- and 15-inch sizes, with AMD and Qualcomm chip options due out in October and November, respectively. Intel versions (likely Wildcat Lake) are set to be “available at a later date.”

While the MacBook Neo comes in four different colors, the IdeaPad Vibe ups the hue selection to seven. Lenovo gave them all over-the-top names: dreamy violet, spicy gold, zen green, chill blue, radiant coral, moody blue, and lowkey gray. You’ll even be able to custom order one from Lenovo with keycaps in any of the seven colors, as well as buy separate keycap sets to mix-and-match your own unique look. And unlike the Neo, the keyboard is backlit.
