The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 (14″ AMD, Gen 8) is a compact device that can surprise positively many of you. It has a good build quality, the base is rigid, and the lid can be flexed a bit when it’s opened but not by much. Keep in mind that we bought the all-aluminum version, there are models with a metal lid and a plastic base as well. The optional backlit keyboard is comfortable for typing because of the decent key travel and the clicky feedback. The touchpad is also smooth and accurate. The IPS display (LEN140WUXGA (LEN9125)) has good viewing angles and a nice contrast ratio. Still, the sRGB coverage is low but it’s not a laptop meant for content creation or color-sensitive work. The panel is PWM-free so it’ll not cause additional eye strain if you use the notebook for long hours of work (as always, just don’t forget to take short breaks from time to time). The Dolby Atmos speakers produce a quality sound.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
