Lenovo has launched its latest laptop series, the Xiaoxin SE 2025, exclusively in China. This budget-friendly lineup boasts extraordinary specifications,sparking curiosity about a potential US release.
What Makes the Xiaoxin SE 2025 Stand Out?
The Xiaoxin SE 2025 series offers a range of screen sizes—14-inch, 15.3-inch, and 16-inch—all featuring vibrant 1920×1200 pixel IPS displays with a 16:10 aspect ratio and a matte finish to minimize glare. Under the hood, users can choose between powerful processors: the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS or the Intel Core i5-13420H. Each model includes a pleasant keyboard with a 1.3mm key travel, and the larger 15.3-inch and 16-inch models even include a numeric keypad, a boon for number-crunching tasks.
Lenovo prioritized upgradeability with 16GB of user-replaceable RAM and a 512GB SSD, offering the option to add an extra M.2 SSD for expanded storage. Connectivity is comprehensive, including HDMI, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, a USB Type-C port with charging and data transfer capabilities, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a standard power port. Despite their feature-rich design, the laptops remain remarkably slim at just 16.9mm thick, weighing in at approximately 1.39 kg (14-inch), 1.59 kg (15.3-inch), and 1.68 kg (16-inch).
Pricing and Availability
Currently,the Xiaoxin SE 2025 series is available only in china. Pricing in Chinese Yuan (converted to approximate US dollars) is as follows:
- 14-inch: AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS – $505, Intel Core i5-13420H – $490
- 15.3-inch: AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS – $535, intel Core i5-13420H – $520
- 16-inch: AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS – $535, Intel Core i5-13420H – $520
While currently exclusive to the Chinese market, there’s potential for a global release under a different branding. The competitive pricing and impressive specifications make it a compelling option for budget-conscious consumers, and its eventual arrival in the US market would undoubtedly generate significant interest.

Lenovo’s Xiaoxin SE 2025: A Budget Laptop Powerhouse?
we sat down with technology analyst, David Chen, to discuss Lenovo’s latest laptop series, the Xiaoxin SE 2025, and its potential impact on the budget laptop market
Senior editor: David, Lenovo recently unveiled the Xiaoxin SE 2025 laptop series in China. What makes this lineup stand out from the crowd?
David Chen: Well,it’s the extraordinary blend of features and affordability. Lenovo’s offering these laptops with powerful AMD Ryzen 7 and Intel Core i5 processors, along with vibrant IPS displays and a surprisingly good keyboard, all at a price point that undercuts many competitors.
Senior Editor: The specs are definitely compelling. What about the design and build quality?
David Chen: They’ve done a commendable job making these laptops both sleek and functional. They’re relatively thin and light, considering the screen size options, and they even have a solid selection of ports: HDMI, USB-A, USB-C, a headphone jack, pretty much everything you’d need.
Senior Editor: it’s engaging that Lenovo chose to initially launch this series in China only. Do you think we’ll see a wider release?
David Chen: It’s certainly possible. Lenovo often tests products in specific markets first. If the Xiaoxin SE 2025 does well in China, and there’s demand elsewhere, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them rebranded and released internationally.
Senior Editor: If they do come to the US, how do you think they’ll fare against the competition?
David chen: That’s the million-dollar question, isn’t it? Based on the specs and price, they could shake things up. They’d be a strong contender for students, budget-consciousAcer,Asus people, and anyone looking for a reliable laptop without breaking the bank.
