A very boring render of the IdeaPad 1 from Lenovo's website. | Image: Lenovo Back in September, AMD launched some of the first mobile chips from its upcoming Ryzen 7000 line, the budget-oriented Mendocino" series. At launch, they were described as tailored to the everyday laptop," combining last-gen Zen 2 CPU cores with high-end RDNA 2 graphics.
That RDNA 2, generally seen powering much more expensive machines as well as the PS5 and Xbox Series X / S consoles, could become widely available at a budget price point was an exciting prospect. But Mendocino only announced one partner at launch: Acer and its Aspire 3 series. Since then, we've basically heard... crickets about the Mendocino series.
That is, until today. Kudos to Notebook Italia for spotting several new items on Lenovo's Product Specifications...
