Lenovo IdeaPad 330 Gemini Lake Laptops Sell for $250 and Up
We’ve previously seen companies unveil Gemini Lake laptops but at price points ($400 to $600) that did not seem right, considering Gemini Lake (GLK) processors should cost about the same as the ones from the previous generation (Apollo Lake).
