Notebookcheck is reporting that, “the upcoming mainstream Lenovo IdeaPad C340 family will be one of the first to offer Zen+ Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5, and Ryzen 7 processor options that were initially unveiled at CES 2019. The AMD options should be comparable to Intel Whiskey Lake-U for at least $50 USD less when the Lenovo convertible launches next month.”

The new mainstream models IdeaPad C340 convertible laptop in particular consists of 14-inch (C340-14IWL) and 15.6-inch (C340-15IWL) SKUs that otherwise share the same I/O ports. The chassis incorporates narrow bezels, an optional backlit keyboard, glass fiber outer lid, up to a GeForce MX230 GPU, and a physical TrueBlock Privacy Shutter switch inspired by the webcam switch on the newest ThinkPad laptops.

the 14-inch C340 series will also carry next generation AMD Ryzen 3 3200U, Ryzen 5 3500U, and Ryzen 7 3700U Zen+ options with integrated Radeon RX Vega graphics. These AMD SKUs will be just a hair thicker than the 14-inch Intel variant (17.93 mm vs. 17.94 mm), but both versions will otherwise be visually identical to one another.

The 14-inch and 15.6-inch IdeaPad C340 family is launching this March in EMEA and this April in the U.S. for a starting price of $450 to $500 USD. SKUs may carry the usual “Flex” name when sold in the U.S. in order to ride home the 2-in-1 form factor and 360-degree hinges.
