I got hands-on with Lenovo's new $699 IdeaPad Vibe, which goes up against the MacBook Neo, and choosing a color may be harder than choosing a CPU

After seeing Lenovo's new IdeaPad Vibe lineup in New York City earlier this summer, I came away genuinely impressed. Starting at just under $700, these laptops combine solid specs, surprisingly premium hardware, and an unprecedented level of personalization that makes Apple's MacBook Neo and Dell's newest 14-inch challenger look a little conservative by comparison.
