Lenovo leak shows cheaper Copilot Plus PCs coming this month
Lenovo appears ready to launch new more affordable Copilot Plus PCs. Reliable leaker Evan Blass has published a press release from Lenovo that details a variety of Copilot Plus PCs that will be announced at the IFA trade show later this week, including two that are powered by an unannounced 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus chip.
The new Qualcomm-powered Copilot Plus PCs from Lenovo include the IdeaPad 5x 2-in-1, a convertible with a 14-inch OLED display, and the IdeaPad Slim 5x, a full-metal clamshell laptop with the option to pick a 14-inch OLED display. Both feature a new Snapdragon X Plus 8-core chip, instead of the regular 10-core version.
Lenovo lists the starting price of the Slim 5x at €899 (about $990), and the IdeaPad 5x 2-in-1 at a starting price of €999, with availability for both models expected in September. This European pricing suggests we’ll see Copilot Plus PCs launch at €200 less than the €1,199 retail price of the Surface Laptop 7 — technically the cheapest Copilot Plus PC right now.
It’s not clear if the US pricing of Lenovo’s new Copilot Plus PCs will come close to the discounts we’re seeing to full retail pricing on some models, though. You can currently purchase a Dell Inspiron 14 Plus for $799.99, or a HP OmniBook X for $899.99. Both of these Copilot Plus PCs have been discounted and don’t include tax, and feature Qualcomm’s 10- or 12-core Snapdragon chips.
Lenovo is also planning to launch other Copilot Plus PCs with Intel and AMD processors. The Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition is a 15-inch laptop that’s powered by Intel’s latest Core Ultra Series 2 chips, and Lenovo’s Yoga Pro 7 and IdeaPad Slim 5 are both powered by AMD’s latest Ryzen processors.
