Launched in March, Vega starts at $ 2,099 (VND 48,634,000), targeting creative professionals and anyone else who loves this beautiful design. Lavie Vega offers a beautiful design, 4K OLED screen and unique smart speaker function.

Design by Lavie Vega

The lovely blue aluminum alloy lid is protected by a Gorilla Glass, which not only adds beauty to this laptop, but also protects against scratches and dents. However, the glass can lead to a lot of fingerprints due to unsightly fingerprints.

Smart Light

The logo is decorated on the Vega lid, acting as a smart speaker called Smart Light. Using a far-field microphone, the icon with the LED around can receive voice commands from Microsoft Cortana even when the laptop is in Sleep mode.

The ports on Lavie Vega

Vega has a fairly large number of ports including a pair of USB 3.1 Type-C Gen 2 ports, two Thunderbolt 3 ports, a combined micro / headphone jack and a microSD card slot. Some users are a little disappointed without any USB Type-A ports.

The screen of Lavie Vega

To give creators the best screen content to work with (as well as watch one or two movies), Vega is equipped with a 15.6-inch, 4K (3840 x 2160) OLED display. Lenovo and NEC claim that this panel has a maximum brightness of 400 nit. Pretty good, but not enough to beat the Prestige 15 (428 nit), MacBook Pro (429 nit) or XPS 15 (626 nit).

Battery life

Lenovo and NEC estimate that Vega will last 8.3 hours on a single charge. That's a 'generous' estimate, especially for a laptop with a 4K OLED screen.

Conclude

Lavie Vega is an interesting product in the laptop market for creative workers. It has an attractive appearance and great performance thanks to the 10th generation Intel 10 processor. You also get a 4K OLED screen, which delivers extremely vibrant colors with sharp details. In addition, Lavie Vega also has a unique function thanks to the integrated Smart Light.

The combination of OLED and 4K can significantly reduce the system's battery life, but hopefully it can last at least 8 hours.

1. Sleek, attractive
