Lenovo has released the V15 G7 Q7X, a budget laptop with a 15.3-inch, 400-nit display, powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon C C11-0100 processor, according to Notebookcheck. Lenovo’s own tests, as reported, put battery life above 20 hours.
Notebookcheck says the model is currently available only in Japan, where it starts at JPY 134,970 (about $845). The report is based on Lenovo Japan’s listing.
Availability and pricing
Lenovo lists the laptop as “coming soon” in Europe, Southeast Asia and other parts of East Asia. It does not yet appear for sale in Canada or the United States, although Notebookcheck says Lenovo’s PSREF website earmarks both countries for release.
The base configuration has 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD and a Windows 11 Home licence. Versions with Windows 11 Pro or Office Home & Business 2024 licences rise to JPY 184,800 (about $1,157).
Lenovo Japan prices the Snapdragon model above the Intel-based V15 G7 IWC, but below Lenovo’s other Snapdragon laptops, including the IdeaPad Slim 5x launched earlier this year. Notebookcheck cites a current Amazon price of $899 for the Slim 5x.
Display, battery and design
Every configuration uses the same 1200p, 60Hz IPS display with 400 nits of brightness and 45% NTSC colour coverage. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 6.0.
The laptop has a 50Wh battery with 65W charging. Lenovo reportedly rates the Snapdragon C chip at up to 22 hours of local 1080p video playback at 150 nits, and 20 hours in the JEITA-BAT 3.0 video test at 200 nits. These are manufacturer figures, not independent measurements.
The V15 G7 Q7X weighs 1.59kg, has plastic top and bottom cases, and measures 343.4 x 239.5 x 17.9-18.9mm. Lenovo sells it only in Onyx Grey.
Notebookcheck notes that the IdeaPad Slim 3 14Q7X11 and IdeaPad Slim 3 15Q7X11 also use the Snapdragon C chip and are already sold in several countries.
