A few days after unveiling its new business-class notebook lineup, Lenovo is introducing its first consumer PCs sporting 10th-gen Intel Core processors.

Among other things, that means we’re getting our first look at the new 13.3 inch Lenovo IdeaPad S340 and IdeaPad S540 thin and light notebooks, which should hit the streets in October.
