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.

The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 is working great in general. But I was disappointed that the built in camera doesn’t support the face recognization for login.

Amazing computer. Finally splurged on a new computer after almost 10 years. Love the computer and the features. And customer service is awesome (1st one had a cosmetic flaw and they exchanged it without hassle!)

Loved the display clarity, the feel of the keyboard, and the layout/size of the keyboard. The whole laptop seems sturdy and well-designed. I feel comfortable that hauling it around will not beat it up!

I dread buying a replacement laptop, the software and files to transfer etc; but (I learned to use an external harddrive to simplify transferring files & folders) just had to replace my 2014 Toshiba laptop. Lenovo brand was recommended by relative, so Lenovo seemed like my best option. I require the numeric keypad on the keyboard, the ideapad i5 came with this feature! I need a compact laptop – in the 15-16 inch range and the ideapad i5 was spot on at 15 inch! Security of 64 bit Windows also needed – ideapad i5 came with Windows 11 Home 64! Unfortunately Lenovo has some arrangement with McAfee and pre-installed that on laptop WHICH I HAD TO REMOVE right away so that I could install my TREND MICROS Security Program. McAfee is a real PITA to get fully removed! Ideapad i5 display is nice and I was able to increase brightness to a satisfactory level. However, when running on battery the display gets dim and unable to increase brightness. Guess it is fine so long as I have it plugged in when using it. I like the fingerprint id option – it takes a few minutes to set up and I am liking it. I like the shutter over camera lens – no more need for duct tape to cover it. I rarely use a camera on my laptop. Storage on the ideapad i5 is fine for me, I keep very little on the computer and really prefer using my external harddrive. Price of the ideapad i5 was reasonable. It is a stylish machine. But Lenovo sure does up the price a lot with optional extended warranties, on site repairs, damage insurance, battery replacement, etc Yes I paid the price for these add-ons. This increased the price a lot, but never having had a Lenovo brand before I am not sure what to expect for it and needed to add the extra protection. Once I saw that the only way the display could be bright enough for me to use was to have it connected to a power source, I regret getting the battery replacement option since I will never run this on battery power. I use my usb wireless mouse instead of the touch pad – it works fine. I do wish there were more usb ports though. I am using 1 for mouse and 1 for external harddrive. Touchscreen is great. I have touchscreen on old laptop and on desktop, I like this feature a lot, and if I use someone elses laptop they ask me why I am tapping their screen(they dont have touchscreen). Although the ideapad i5 ended up costing a lot because of the add-on items, I am pleased with the machine.

I was looking for a new computer that had all the features that this one has plus I read a five star review that was saying the same thing about this model as a replacement for their older laptop.

Had my Lenovo Idea Pad 5 for a couple of weeks now. I use it mostly for browsing, social media and fantasy football. It has been working flawlessly. The feel is solid. It was not over loaded with bloatware and I like the convenience of the Lenovo Vantage. My only problem with it is the case holds fingerprints horribly. It looks like a 5 year old has been playing with it after eating a PBJ sandwich. That is the only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. I will try update this review after a couple more months of use.

I absolutely love my computer. It does everything that I need and can get all of the apps that I need. It is one of the best brands out there. You need to get one of these for any computer work you need to do.
