Lenovo decks out smarter and more premium laptops in the Philippines, revealing the 5th-generation of Yoga devices. Designed for consumers with sophisticated taste, the Yoga laptops presents new form factors in style.

Yoga 9 series

Lenovo’s new headliners come in the form of two premium, innovative, and versatile notebooks: the Yoga Slim 9i and the Yoga 9i convertible, both starting at PhP 99,995.

The two laptops are powered by up to the latest 10th-gen Intel Core i9 HK-series processors, with Intel Xe graphics. Moreover, both laptops come with stylish design, smart features, and power-efficient batteries.

Yoga 7 series

Another lineup of powerhouse devices is thin and light laptops from the Yoga 7 Series. There’s the Yoga Slim 7i Pro (price starts at PhP 64,995), fueled by Intel Core i7 processors and NVIDIA’s GeForce Mx450 GPU, balancing speed and power. It’s a powerful companion for multitasking, video editing, and more.

For those who are always-on-the-go, particularly executives and businessmen, the Yoga Slim 7i Carbon (starts at PhP 59,995) is a perfect match. It packs a 15-hour battery life and powerful performance while looking elegant with a stunning Moon White finish coupled with a featherweight, portable design.

On the other hand, the Yoga 7i (price starts at PhP 59,995) offers an ultra-thin convertible with a long-lasting battery, at approximately 16 hours. It’s designed for balanced performance, making it the perfect work-and-play companion.

In case you need a compact notebook, the Yoga Slim 7i presents an all-metal machine-cut premium device with a clamshell design.

Yoga 6

The most portable powerhouse, so far, is the Yoga 6 (price starts at PhP 49,995). It houses a top-performing AMD Ryzen 7 4700U processor with built-in AMD Radeon graphics inside a compact 13-inch chassis. Despite its ultra-compact size, this laptop can last up to 18 hours of computing and entertainment activities.

IdeaPad 5 and 3 series

The IdeaPad lineup has just evolved, bringing fast and intuitive devices to help bring ideas to life. The IdeaPad Slim 5i (price starts at PhP 42,995) prides itself on narrower bezels and innovative charging via Type-C connection, compared to most laptops in the same bracket. There’s also the IdeaPad Flex 5i (price starts at PhP 49,995) featuring super-fast connectivity, advanced display technology, and a 360-degree hinge for flexibility. It also comes with Lenovo’s Digital Pen.

For those looking for value-for-money laptops, the IdeaPad Slim 3i offers just that. It’s available in two variants: Core i7 (starts at PhP 44,995) or Core i3 with MX GPU (starts at PhP 29,995).

Major improvements on the new lineup

Lenovo just made history, bringing the widest range of devices with a powerful 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD combo in the Philippines. Together with the previously launched Yoga Duet 7, the suite spans 10 devices — Yoga Slim 91, Yoga 9i, Yoga Slim 7 Pro, Yoga Slim 7i Carbon, Yoga Slim 7, Yoga 7i, Yoga 6, IdeaPad Slim 5, and IdeaPad Flex 5 — with a starting price of PhP 49,995.

Freebie galore

With the exception of the IdeaPad Slim 3i (Core i3 variant), all the devices come with pre-installed Microsoft Office Home & Student 2019 (worth PhP 6,995) and Lenovo’s 3-year Premium Care Warranty (worth PhP 9,100).

Lenovo also teams up once again with Herschel this holiday season, handing out a limited edition Herschel merchandise for every purchase of participating devices. Customers availing select devices under the Yoga 9, 7, and 6 series will get a Lenovo x Herschel Stowaway Jacket (worth PhP 10,995), Gibson Travel Bag (worth PhP 7,495), and Spokane Sleeve (worth PhP 3,495), and other Lenovo accessories for free.

Those purchasing select devices of the IdeaPad 5 and 3 series will also receive the Stowaway Jacket and other accessories. Certain models of the IdeaPad 3 series will also get the Stowaway Jacket and a Fifteen Hip Pack (worth PhP 2,495) among other freebies.

The Googlebook is the next evolution of the Chromebook

Notebooks are coming later this year.

Published

on

Chromebooks did not become the go-to alternative for laptop users on a budget. Given how the market looks today, it could have been a matter of “right place, wrong time.” Today, Google is trying again with the new Googlebook lineup.

The Googlebook is different from the Chromebook. Though both platforms allow Android apps to run natively, the Googlebook will focus more on building a foundation on Gemini Intelligence.

Of course, the Android ecosystem is still a focal point. The Googlebook can run apps from the ecosystem and can connect seamlessly with Android phones. Specifically, users can access their phone’s apps and files directly from the notebook without waiting for transfers.

As for the Gemini part, the Googlebook starts by reinventing the cursor. The new Magic Pointer brings the wonder of Gemini to your mouse. A wiggle of the cursor wakes the software, which contextualizes anything it’s pointed to. For example, pointing at a date will ask you if you want to schedule a meeting. Pointing at two photos might merge the two into an AI-generated mashup.

Additionally, Create a Widget will allow you to customize software to perfectly tailor to your needs. Using Gemini, the Googlebook can collate everything you need on your dashboard.

Currently, there are no official models set to come out just yet. However, Google has confirmed that Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo have committed to bringing out the Googlebook this fall. Naturally, each of these brands will have their own take on lineup, but the one thing uniting them will be a unique glowbar to set them apart from other notebooks.
