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.

Great product. I read that display isn’t too great, which it isn’t but it’s a great machine overall-does what I need it to do. Great specs and very sleek

I’ve only used it for a little less than a month but I can already tell it’s going to work amazing compared to the old computer and chromebook I was using. I use it to teach during distance learning and it works amazing in terms of compatibility with zoom. 10/10 recommend 🙂

I am using this laptop for a hybrid college program. A lot of our assignments and written work is to be done online, with some embedded video lectures. This laptop is amazingly fast! I am so impressed.

What made up my mind on purchasing this laptop. My son has the same one and I need to to do some online work on his, because my old HP was not working. I used his and was amazed by the performance, look and the great features it has. So, I went out and got one for myself.

This Lenovo laptop was the only one I found in its price range that has a solid state hard drive. It has plenty of speed and power at a very reasonable price.

The Lenovo Ideapad 5 is sleek and pleasing to the eyes. It was a bluish color and looks professional but modern. Its lightweight and easy to operate. It’s fast and I had no issues getting used to the laptop. I would have given it 5 stars, but felt the battery depletes faster than my previous HP laptop. Only time will tell how this, my first ever Lenovo Laptop works out for me. I bought two HP Laptops and both went belly up after 3 years or so.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Completely happy with purchase. Only suggestion would be to improve the start up instructions that come with the laptop.

Overall this is a very capable computer and an excellent value as compared to similar models from other brands. We bought two for our sons to use in high school and so far they are both very happy with the camera and screen for distance learning, playback of videos and even gaming. Office productivity software is handled with ease and the fingerprint reader makes logging into the machines easy and fast. They are light, feel very solid and sturdy and we are very happy with these machines. We will consider Lenovo for future computer needs.

So far, I love this laptop. The screen is big enough to see easily but still carry around. The keys are soft, responsive, and quiet. The processor is fast. Nothing negative that I have encountered.

Lightweight 15 inch laptop that really is light as a feather. I was very surprised by some of the extra features from the usb-c, to the convenient front camera cover and the impressive Lenovo settings for better performance.

This machine is really a work of art and more importantly, an absolute steal for any college student or anyone in need of a workhorse like this. With a touchscreen and an Intel core i7 processor this machine can handle everything you throw at it; I was even able to run games on it! Everything about this device from the compatibility and connectivity to the form factor and light up keyboard makes my life as a college student in quarantine easier.
