Lenovo is one of those companies who has had a lot of success with Windows and their CES 2015 displays reinforce their commitment to the platform. Did you also know that Lenovo has a joint venture with the Japanese computer brand NEC? Normally, Lenovo keeps those NEC devices in their native market in Japan, but even they could not resist the LaVie. What is the LaVie? Just a 2 pound 13-inch Ultrabook with a Core i7 processor and QHD+ touch display. Even better is the fact that Lenovo will be releasing this absurdly light Ultrabook in North America come this May. Read on for our notes.

LaVie specifications 13.3-inch IPS QHD

Intel Core i7 (Broadwell, 5th generation)

8 GB RAM

128 GB Storage

2.04 lbs. (0.92 kg)

Up to 8 hours battery life

Flip design (tent and tablet mode) How did they do it? The NEC LaVie, which will be branded under Lenovo's name in the US and elsewhere, is made from a Magnesium-Lithium alloy. Yes, that means it is metal, but you would not be able to tell when holding it. Indeed it feels as light as plastic, but much more sturdy. For instance, there is no flex or bend in the device's chassis. Best VPN providers 2020: Learn about ExpressVPN, NordVPN & more
