"They won't have an Nvidia graphics chip next to an Intel CPU, but rather an Nvidia N1 system-on-chip at the helm - and overnight, a Lenovo leak revealed that the company has built six laptops on the upcoming N1 and N1X processors, including a 15-inch gaming machine. Dataminer Huang514613 posted those names to X, including 14 and 16-inch models of the Ideapad Slim 5, two variants of the 15-inch Yoga Pro 7, and a Yoga 9 transforming 2-in-1."
"You don't need to take Huang's word for it alone: this update page for the company's Legion Space control software still shows the existence of a "Legion 7 15N1X11" gaming laptop, where the "N1X" refers to Nvidia's gaming SoC. And just by using Google, I found a publicly indexed web portal where Lenovo has listings for password-protected "Nvidia N1x Portal Prod" and Nvidia N1x Portal Test" websites, too:"
"Lenovo may be the world's biggest laptop maker, but it isn't the only one prepping such laptops. Dell was tipped to launch an Alienware gaming laptop by early 2026 as well, and it may have been prepping a Dell Premium laptop ( now XPS) with Nvidia N1X as well. That's already eight different Nvidia laptops that might be coming. Three days ago, Digitimes reported that we should expect Nvidia to launch its N1 and N1X laptop platform this spring, with more devices available this summer, after a previous delay - and that the company already has N2 and N2X chips on the roadmap for late 2027."
Nvidia is preparing to power Windows consumer laptops with its N1 and N1X system-on-chips, marking a shift from discrete Nvidia GPUs paired with Intel CPUs. Lenovo has leaked evidence of six N1/N1X-based laptops, including Ideapad Slim 5 variants, Yoga Pro 7 variants, a Yoga 9 2-in-1, and a 15-inch gaming model. Publicly indexed portals and Legion Space software entries reference N1X models. Dell and other OEMs are reportedly planning Alienware and XPS-class laptops using N1X. Digitimes projects launches this spring with broader availability in summer and N2/N2X chips targeted for late 2027.
