Rounding out the laptop is a built-in fingerprint reader for easy Windows Hello login via Windows 10, JBL speakers with Dolby Audio Premium software and Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports. Lenovo claims that it can last 9 hours in FHD and 8 hours in UHD.

The laptop will come in 13 inches and 15 inches models. The 15 inches model can be configured with the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 GPU, and both can have up to 16GB of RAM. The 13 inches model will get a 1 TB PCle SSD, while the other model can be configured with a 1TB HDD or a 512GB PCle SSD.
