Lenovo has officially released the Xiaoxin 14 SE and Xiaoxin 16 SE 2026 laptops in China. The affordable productivity machines pair an Intel Core 5 320 processor with a 400 nit WUXGA screen and an aluminum top lid. Following state subsidies, the lineup starts at 4504.15 yuan, which translates to roughly $625 USD.
Both machines run on the Intel Core 5 320 chip backed by 16GB of single channel DDR5 memory. Internal storage is handled by a 512GB PCIe Gen4 solid state drive. Cooling relies on a large diameter heat pipe, a quiet fan, and high performance thermal material to keep system temperatures low under stress. A 50Whr battery supplies the power, while network connections run over a Wi Fi 6 wireless card.
Lenovo equipped both models with a 1920x1200 IPS panel running at a 60Hz refresh rate. The display puts out 400 nits of peak brightness, though color coverage sits at 45% NTSC, making it best suited for daily office work and web browsing rather than color accurate editing. An aluminum alloy lid protects the screen assembly. Weight varies slightly by size. The 14 inch version weighs 1.39 kilograms, while the larger 16 inch edition weighs 1.68 kilograms.
Typing is handled by a keyboard featuring 1.3 millimeter key travel. An HD camera sits above the screen alongside an array microphone for calls. Physical connectivity is generous, offering 2 USB A 5Gbps ports, 1 full function USB C port, an HDMI output, an SD card reader, and a 3.5 millimeter audio jack.
After local government subsidies take effect, the 14 inch variant costs 4504.15 yuan, coming out to about $625 USD. The 16 inch configuration sells for 4674.15 yuan, which equals around $650 USD. Both laptops target everyday users looking for budget friendly computing power with modern physical port variety.
