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.

I love it . I am starting college and this is so perfect comfortable and great. The touch screen can be useful at times. The 16gb of ram really help the performance . The SSD let’s it power up super quickly and great to start and check emails quickly. Love this as my first Laptop. I just hope it had a bit more graphics for some gaming.

I have only had my Lenovo for a couple weeks, but I am really liking it. I bought it to use while my desktop is being serviced and also for those times I travel. It is just the right size, not too small or too heavy. So far, so good. I would highly recommend it.

I truly love my new laptop. It’s smooth, lite and very efficient. Once I purchasing the {monitor pole and the two screens} and finish hooking them up to this laptop, with the keyless board and mouse I’m sure it will make my life alot easier.

So far I have really enjoyed this laptop. I don’t demand much from my laptops but this seems to do well for my needs. The screen is more tiring to my eyes than my other laptop but I believe, in time, I will become used to it.

The battery doesn’t last 6 hours. Maybe 6 hours if you did absolutely nothing. For me, it only lasts 3 1/2 hours while I work.

It is practical and light. It also functions well and serves my purpose right now.

I bought this laptop to run engineering design software that wasn’t available for my Mac. It does the job. Since that software is the only thing I run on it, I can’t speak to how it performs for multitasking, gaming, or anything else but it works for what I need. So far battery life is good though that will degrade over time as it will with any laptop. Startup time and performance is also good but will also degrade as it does with any computer.

Love the touchscreen feature and the backlit keyboard- so much easier to see. The only thing I am curious about is why they put the fingerprint scanner where they did?

Overall, I’m pleased with the purchase. Set up was easy, and everything (monitors, wireless keyboard and mouse, speakers, etc.) connected easily. I have to remove and re connect the wireless keyboard almost every morning for some reason, but since it’s the only item with issues staying connected, I suspect the problem is with the keyboard and not the laptop. For the price, I’m very happy with the purchase after about 2 weeks of use.
