Lenovo		—
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR7; 2497 MHz boost, 115 W TGP, 572 AI TOPS

TGP is the power limit the graphics chip can use in this laptop; the same GPU runs slower in lower-powered chassis. The graphics chip is soldered and cannot be replaced. Lenovo also offers the RTX 5070 Laptop GPU in this chassis at 115 W.

Display16-inch WQXGA (2560 × 1600) OLED, 16:10; 165 Hz, 500 nits typical / 1100 nits HDR peak, 100% DCI-P3, 1,000,000:1 contrast, glossy surface, DisplayHDR True Black 1000, Dolby Vision, G-SYNC

165 Hz means the panel can show up to 165 frames per second; G-SYNC matches the refresh to the GPU’s frame rate to reduce tearing. 1100 nits is a peak value for small areas in HDR content; everyday SDR brightness is 500 nits. The panel is factory-calibrated with X-Rite and is not a touchscreen.

Lenovo		14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR; 3024 × 1964, 254 ppi; mini LED; ProMotion up to 120 Hz; 1,000,000:1 contrast

The mini LED backlight dims and brightens in zones, deepening blacks and letting bright HDR areas reach high brightness.

Apple
Memory32 GB (2 × 16 GB) DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM; 2 slots, dual-channel

Memory is not soldered. The highest capacity Lenovo has tested for this platform is 32 GB; both slots are filled from the factory, so an upgrade means replacing the modules.

Lenovo		—
Storage1 TB M.2 2242 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD; 2 × M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 slots

The slots are 2280-length, so a second SSD can be added. PCIe 4.0 x4 offers a theoretical 8 GB/s of bandwidth; actual speed depends on the installed SSD.

Lenovo		512 GB SSD standard; configurable to 1 TB, 2 TB or 4 TB

The SSD is soldered to the board and cannot be replaced later.

Apple
