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.

We bought this laptop to help manage our storage units. Our manager seems to be pleased with it, especially since the previous laptop was extremely slow and beyond help.

very satisfied with this laptop. Exceeding my expectations. I was a bit worried maybe it’s too heavy for me but it turns out just perfect. All the configurations are so wonderful for me.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) So far it’s great! Runs smooth and no issues. I think it will be more important to see if the computer stands the test of time.

I’ve always bought a mac, but I’ve decided to break up with apple and I’m so glad that I did! So far this is an excellent machine!

I’m currently very satisfied with my ideapad 5. The laptop boots up much quicker than my previous Y700. The touch screen responsiveness is great and I like the feel of the keyboard. Furthermore, the screen is crisp and great for the price point. My only complaint is the quality of the built in camera.

Great value for good specs! I was looking for a laptop that combined the i7 processor, 12 GB of RAM and a good-sized solid state drive. This computer fit that bill for a great price. The one improvement that would have made it a 5-star product would be more USB ports. There are only 2 traditional USB ports, and it would be great to have 3 or 4.

Pros Good for student. Bought for my son to use for school. Con loaded with unwanted products like McFee which I had to figure out how to delete. It’s a turn off that computer companies try to force you to get other products by adding it to the device you buy.
