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.

Fast, slick, easy to use. I was reluctant to replace my laptop because I hadn’t found one that had the features I was looking for, but this one does! What a difference. It’s a very fast processor and it was very easy to set it up. The only issue I have noticed is that sometimes the keyboard gets stuck, but I’m waiting to see if it’s a glitch or something that happens when there are too many apps running.

Ok for the price so far- the screen display is not super High Definition. I have tried different resolutions . outside of that 8G RAM is fast for most home use- and the computer took a while to setup but was pretty much self- explanatory.

So far so good. I would have given it 5 stars but the battery isn’t all that great and the volume can be louder

Great working computer. Very easy to use for someone that is not very good with technology. The battery life holds forever. The full keyboard is a great aspect of it as well. 10/10 recommend getting this laptop for college.

I’ve exclusively used Lenovo laptops for years. This is my 3rd in a row and I think they’re great! I always get one with a big touchscreen and a keyboard with a number pad.

One of which seemed related to screen visual stability -Does not come with a stylus

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Love my Ideapad 5. It is so fast, responsive, and reliable. Only con is that I have a few dead pixels. Customer service will be handling it.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Nice but not enough USB ports. I like the lighted keyboard option.

Have to say this has been the easiest to set up and start using of all the computers I have had over the years personal and work. The keyboard has an excellent feel to it and great having a number pad. The outer dimensions are the same as my last laptop but the screen is 10-15% larger with a minimum border. The camera has a shutter to block it, but I do miss my piece of blue painters tape that served the same purpose on my old laptop. All computers start out fast but this is lightning quick. Video is bright and easy to see text. Still debating if I like WIndows 11.

The price was right and the configuration was perfect with the SSD. The number pad comes in handy when having to use the laptop for work. Works great playing Wingspan. 🙂

I was looking for a laptop to use for work when I am working remote and this Lenovo packs a punch. The thing that that I love is the price for an Solid State Drive! AMD the color is a cool dark blue, very sleek looking. Pretty light in weight. I wasn’t looking for anything super light but this is very easy to take around wherever I go.

It;s fast, it does what I need it to do, has built-in Alexa which I love, and it’s light, too. I also like the overall look of it.

It’s a little flimsy, although it gets everything done the way I expected it to. At its current specs, I feel that it is an amazing keyboard. Perfect for everyday use, especially for a student.

I use a Lenovo ThinkPad for work and I know how reliable they are. When I saw this IdeaPad, I knew it was the right choice for my wife and I…

Needed to replace an 8 year old Samsung laptop model, and this was a budget-friendly option. So far I’m pleased with the processing speed and ability to run multiple programs at once. Battery life leaves something to be desired, only lasting 3-4 hours (when my old computer ran at least 12 before needing a charge when it was new). Happy with the look, feel, and weight of this model. So far, I feel I got what I paid for.

Laptop performance is fast and meets my expectations and my day-to-day work needs. Build quality, backlit keyboard excellent. The display quality should have been better, disappointed by the viewing angles.

So far this laptop has been great. I’ve had no issues.
