Lecoo Air 16 Is Lenovo New Ultra-Slim 16-Inch Laptop with a 120Hz 2.5K Display

In a world where laptops keep trading muscle for mobility, Lenovo just gave “lightweight” a new definition. The company’s latest Lecoo Air 16 tips the scales at just 1 kilogram — and yet, it still looks like a proper 16-inch notebook.

Part of Lenovo’s China-exclusive Lecoo line, the Air 16 feels like a statement piece for people who want MacBook-class design without the MacBook weight. Its magnesium-alloy chassis measures only 10 mm at its thinnest edge, giving it that almost-tablet silhouette when folded shut.

Despite the ultra-slim profile, the laptop doesn’t compromise on essentials. The 2.5K 120 Hz IPS display offers smooth visuals, while a 60 Wh battery promises a full day’s work on the go. Lenovo even managed to squeeze in full-size HDMI and USB-A ports — a thoughtful nod to users tired of dongle life.

The keyboard also deserves attention. It’s a zero-lattice layout with a built-in number pad, something you rarely see on laptops this light. It’s small touches like this that make the Air 16 more practical than most “thin and light” designs.

Under the hood, Lenovo equips the Air 16 with Intel’s Core Ultra 5 125H chip. It’s not the most powerful option on the market — GPU-heavy tasks might stretch it — but it’s a reasonable trade-off for portability. In real use, that means everyday productivity, web work, and creative multitasking should feel snappy enough.

For now, the Lecoo Air 16 is available only in China, priced at CNY 4,999 (around $700) with 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. There’s no confirmation of a global release yet, but honestly, this is the kind of laptop that could find an eager audience if it ever left its home market.

It’s clear Lenovo is experimenting with how far it can push lightweight design without losing practicality — and the Lecoo Air 16 nails that balance.
