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.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Super fast! I am extremely happy I went with 16gb of RAM. Also, the keys are also great to type on, and I like the fact I can turn the keyboard lights on and off.

The Idea Pad was purchased for our son to use in collage. He has in the past built his own PC’s for gamming purposes and is very picky about what he expects from a computer. He isn’t using this for gaming but it does everything he expected it to do. It performs well and isn’t sluggish during his daily tasks. So far, he really likes it. It’s a very nice budget friendly PC.

This is the fourth Lenovo laptop in our household, and all of the usual things stand out – solid build quality, great keyboard feel, and just a tremendous value for the money.

Great laptop! Easy to set up and easy to use. It’s thin, but still has USB outlets and all the features I use.

Getting a new computer can seem like a hassle. In the past, there always seemed like there were too many steps or there was a lot of preloaded junk on a new computer. I was pleasantly surprised that the new Lenovo was easy to set up and easy to use. Thank you!

Its slim, light weight and good system speed. The feature that I liked is it has a separate number pad which a lot of laptops don’t offer anymore.

The quality of this laptop is great! The i7 and 12 GB of RAM is more than enough to handle zoom meetings, excel spreadsheets, and MATLAB all at the same time without much noise. I appreciate the power delivery by USB-C and the fingerprint scanner. My only complaint would be that it has a plastic feel to it when you pick it up, compared to a Yoga C640 where it has an aluminum chassis.

This machine seems to run really fast and smooth. I do need to get used to the Home/End/Page Up/Page Down keys not being on their own. I wouldn’t have minded a third USB port. But super fast startup and very responsive in the short time I’ve had it.

Super fast laptop. I am amazed and very pleased. I purchased this laptop to process photos that I have taken, and it does the job well. I also use it for my other daily routines and I also enjoy the fact that it has a good battery life. Only one thing that I don’t like about it is that when I’m on a Zoom call, or anything Video Intensive, the battery power gets eaten up pretty fast.

I am really happy with my purchase so far. It runs flawlessly even with quite a few apps open, and has enough storage space for everything I need. The top half can easily bend though, which may increase the chances of it being damaged.

Love this laptop! Boots up quickly, runs as smooth as a top and so fast, quiet, doesn’t get hot like some laptops. Very pleased with it!
