Lenovo 17-Inch Laptop Gets Global Launch: 32GB RAM, Intel Wildcat Lake

Windows OEMs Adopt Intel’s Wildcat Lake

In recent weeks, various Windows OEMs have been putting Intel’s Wildcat Lake platform to use inside MacBook Neo competitors. As it stands, many of these are exclusive to China, such as the HP StarBook Plus 14 that debuted in late May. The same is the case with Lenovo, which updated its Lecoo Air range in May with multiple Wildcat Lake-powered options.
