Take performance on the go with the graphite gray 15.6″ IdeaPad 5 Laptop from Lenovo. Designed for work or play, the IdeaPad 5 sports a 1 GHz Intel Core i5-1035G1 quad-core CPU and 8GB of DDR4 RAM for punchy processing. An ample 512GB SSD can accommodate user files, including a video or photo library. Need more storage? This laptop also features an empty 2.5″ SATA III bay that can accommodate an HDD or SSD for even more storage space. Wired peripherals can be connected to two USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports or a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port supporting power delivery. Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity is also present, allowing users to connect wireless peripherals as well. And, with Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, in addition to 2×2 dual-band support, users can take advantage of faster internet speeds and stronger connections compared to older Wi-Fi 5.
Employing a 15.6″ 1920 x 1080 TN display with a 135° hinge, the IdeaPad 5 features integrated Intel UHD Graphics and can extend or mirror content to additional displays via the USB Type-C or HDMI 1.4b ports. Media can be accessed via a 4-in-1 card reader that supports MMC, SD, SDHC, or SDXC memory cards. And, with a 1MP HD webcam, dual-array microphone, and integrated speaker system, users can easily videoconference at home or out and about. When the webcam is not in use, you can even block the lens with a privacy shutter, ensuring privacy. Further safety measures include power-on, HDD, and supervisor passwords, as well as a dedicated TPM chip and touch-style fingerprint reader. In addition to a touchpad, the user interface includes a backlit keyboard with a number pad. This laptop features an integrated battery that can last for up 12 hours on a single charge. The Lenovo 15.6" IdeaPad 5 runs on the Windows 10 Home Operating System.

It’s faster than my previous laptop, but the best thing is, it’s sense the thumb impression , that means, you don’t need to enter password every time.

This is our 6th Lenovo we purchased. I’m very pleased again as it so easy to use. The keys on the keyboard are soft and quite. It’s light and practical!

So far so good. It’s fast, boots up very quickly. The laptop has a nice sturdy feel, and I love that the keyboard is backlit and adjustable. It’s a little smaller than I expected, but just doesn’t have as much extra space around the screen and keyboard as my previous 15.6 inch lenovo laptop. I wish it had a dvd drive since I can’t use it to watch my dvds anymore, and not sure how I’m supposed to install any of my software, I guess I’m going to need to get an external drive. So far the only thing I don’t like is the Windows setup that it came with. It must be the version installed, but I’d rather have my normal Windows desktop with icons that I’m used to. I just need to figure out how to change the setup.

Purchased the Lenovo laptop a few weeks ago and I am very happy with it. It is lightweight and easy to use. Our company provided Lenovo laptops prior to retiring but this is the first Lenovo laptop that I had purchased for personal use. I am sure it will be as reliable as those that we had with my company.

great new machine.. Super fast and no issues so far. Easy to setup and use and fast delivery too.

It’s a very reliable machine that runs a suite of applications such as MathCad, MS Word, Acrobat, etc., which use to create and edit technical content. These applications are about 20-year old releases that do perfectly well for my uses. I live in fear that a new generation of laptops, or a future release of Windows, will fail to support them,

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This laptop is perfect for what I use it for. Setup was intuitive and its performance has been fast making everyday tasks less frustrating.

It works great for me! I will be using this for every day use and as a college student. The number pad on the side of the key board is also very convenient. I would recommend it for some who doesn’t really care for all the technical information and just want a good laptop that’s also touchscreen for every day use.

I love it! The experience so far has been very good. The processing is fast. The materials used are good quality. The camera is decent. My only complaint is the fan noise. I appreciate the settings function that allows you to select what you would like to optimize.
