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.

This is an outstanding setup for me! The keys feel perfect – it practically types itself! I’m not a computer fanatic but my wife, who loves lenovos, encouraged me to give this a try. I love it! And our marriage has never been better!

The only reason for the lower review is the adapter. It is so big and heavy it falls out of the outlet all the time. Shouldn’t have to be duct taped to the wall to stay plugged in.

Very easy to operate and speed is great. Can’t beat the price either!

I like the layout of the keyboard and the convenience of a touchscreen. The size of the screen is also perfect for my design projects. I also like the design of the power button. I do not have to search for it and I simply touch it to log into my profile.

I was skeptical to purchase this brand because I had never heard of it before and I was used to sticking with my well-known brand that I had used for the last 20 years. The price was competitive with the others, and it had similar speeds and product inclusions. I have to say, after opening and using this product… I AM HOOKED. I will not only be recommending this lap top to all of my friends and family but I will be seeking out other products with Lenovo to replace in my home. The speed is like no other, the usability is flawless and it is so light, yet rugged feeling. This was a well designed lap top. I love it. Thanks Lenovo.

I was looking for a laptop just for video editing without breaking the bank. The SSD, RAM, and 10th generation i7 processor deliver. Startup time is just a few seconds. And the fingerprint login makes it easy to unlock my laptop after I’ve stepped away from my desk.

I’d give it 5 stars but the keys are just a bit small. Is expected considering the size of the device.. but I love this computer.

This is the first time I’ve ever purchased a laptop and truly loved it right from the start. I just always seem to pick a lemon despite the lure of great specs. Not this time!! This laptop is terrific! I picked Lenovo because my wife uses a Lenovo thinkpad for work and hers seems capable of enduring the rigors of extended everyday use and she doesn’t seem to have frustrations with it like other ones we’ve had in the past. I definitely think I made the right choice. I went with the ideapad series because I need it for school and personal use, and it is nice that’s it’s also capable of gaming, too! I am so glad I went with this laptop. I have only had it a week, but so far it is a total powerhouse and super simple to use, and it has exceeded my expectations. Fingerprint entry is a breeze, and as someone with a physical disabity, it’s super light and the touchscreen is very helpful and easy to use. I also love that the screen is anti-glare matte because I used to struggle with lights making my screen difficult and uncomfortable to see on my old laptop, and I know anyone with an astigmatism would agree. All in all, this is a wonderful laptop, and it you’re looking to avoid the common frustrations that come up with other brands, Lenovo is the way to go. I’m impressed.

Have owned Lenovo laptops for over 9 years and will continue to purchase them. Still have the first one we got and it is working great! Purchased two more for business purposes in the years since.

I like it a lot, it’s a very good computer, with a good warranty thing, but sometimes it doesn’t always connect to the WiFi, or find the WiFi. Still a good choice.

Easy to setup, easy to use, sleek, great screen, lightweight. Bought for statistical analyses and coding.

The computer broke within 2 weeks of purchasing it. Not a good investment.

This laptop is very lightweight which is beneficial for me as a college student and having classes in person. It’s the perfect computer for classes and getting assignments done as well as still being able to watch Hulu and Netflix. All around the computer is what I was looking for both in my price range and checked off all my boxes in order to use it for school.

Great quality product, soft plastic and sensitive touch pad, battery life is very good as well as brightness of the screen. Keyboard lights up, very useful in the evenings. Fast to load, SSD works fine. Definitely would recommend this laptop.
