    This is going to be a Chinese-only laptop for the time being. I don't see anything like this coming to the rest of the world until Ryzen mobile 6000.

    Lenovo sells Intel versions of all its gaming laptops in most markets. Maybe this special edition mini-LED model is being tested in China first. Lenovo is a Chinese company, after all. It doesn't make a ton of sense to do a refresh of the display and external hardware design with current-generation CPU and GPU technology on a global scale because once Ryzen 6000 and Alder Lake H come online, you may need to redesign the motherboard and/or cooling systems. While Lenovo certainly has the resources to do so, they obviously want to minimize costs in whatever ways they can.
