Reviews for the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 15IRU9, Core 7 150U
Source: Ultrabook Review
The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 15-inch is a mixed bag. On one hand, it's compact, aims above its class with the build quality and choice in materials, and is snappy enough with daily use, while keeping nearly silent in most cases. On the other, inputs are rather finicky on this series, and the Intel Core 7 150U hardware platform is a tough sell today. However, with later discounts, this could be a competitive daily driver, just make sure you carefully read the specs-sheets so you don't end up with a non-backlit keyboard, no IR and the smaller battery variant, as I did.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
