80% Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5i Pro (14-inch) review: A premium computing experience
Source: The Indian Express English Archive.org version
All in all, the IdeaPad Slim 5i Pro is an incredible machine at this price point. This is not a “Pro” machine but is rather made for entertainment in a thin-and-light form factor, and that’s fine with me. I always like laptops with sufficient power and a bright display. While I do like the extra screen space on the Slim 5i Pro, I wish the battery could have been slightly better. The IdeaPad Slim 5i Pro represents a significant value and also happens to match my expectations that I would like it a premium, mainstream notebook.

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 (16″, 2023) review – a better, slightly more expensive version of the IdeaPad Slim 3
Source: Laptop Media English
This laptop can be characterized by its build quality, performance (to some extent), and efficiency. Because of its chipset and relatively large battery, it can last for up to 14 hours of Web browsing. This should be plenty for you to get an entire workday’s worth of use on a single charge. While some other factors, like the upgrade options, are not stellar, we have to embrace the future. There, soldered memory is as common as the laptop having a keyboard. On the other hand, you have to be careful, because the 8GB option is only configured to work at single-channel. This won’t be an issue with daily use, but if you try playing games, your fps will be decreased. Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 (16″, 2023)’s IPS panel has a WUXGA resolution, comfortable viewing angles, and a good contrast ratio. Its backlight doesn’t use PWM for brightness adjustment, which is great, however, the color coverage is quite limited.

92% Lenovo Ideapad Slim 5 16 (2023) Review: A Sturdy Ultrabook you might want to buy!
Source: Gadgetbyte Nepal English
Having used it for more than a week, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 sufficed my daily browsing and working tasks. I absolutely loved the aluminum build with Miltary Standard certification. If you compare it to the last year’s model, there are no major improvements on the performance side, but the 76Wh battery definitely steals the show here from the 56WH of the last-gen IdeaPad Slim 5. Those seeking for an ultrabook with the proper build quality and enough performance for casual usage, this guy stands as a considerable option at the price of NPR 104,000. Not to forget, you’re getting 1TB SSD storage and 16GB RAM at this price.

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 (14 AMD, Gen 8) review – cool, quiet, and powerful
Source: Laptop Media English
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.

After previously testing numerous laptops featuring Intel's brand-new Arc 8 iGPU, now it is the slightly slimmed-down Arc 7's turn. The IdeaPad Slim 5 will also be put up against laptops based on the Radeon 780M. Who will reign supreme?

Source: 91mobiles English
Lenovo isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel with the IdeaPad Slim 5i. The laptop builds on the current market sentiments and offers a reliable package that ticks most boxes. To that end, the device performs well, offers a robust and elegant design, and is equipped with a sharp display. The battery life could’ve been better, and the keyboard’s haptics will not win it any laurels either. If you can look past that, the IdeaPad Slim 5i will not disappoint you.

80% Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 15 review (2024 15IRU9 model, Core 7 150U, IPS)
Source: Ultrabook Review English
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.

Source: PC Mag English
The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5i 16 Gen 9 is a decent-looking, well-enough-performing, and less-than-$800 desktop replacement. Its shortcomings, mostly a mediocre screen and awkward cursor control keys, keep it from competing for Editors' Choice honors, but it's worth a look if Costco or another favorite retailer puts up a discount. Again, we have two similarly big-screen Acer laptops to recommend instead, the Acer Swift Go 16 or the Acer Aspire 3, for either a bit more cash or a lot less, respectively.

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 (16″ AMD) review – Powerful CPU and Stunning OLED but There is Room for Improvement
Source: Laptop Media English
Most of the things that we said about the IdeaPad Slim 5 Gen 9 (14″ AMD) also apply to the IdeaPad Slim 5 (16″ AMD). This is a well-built 16-inch machine that offers impressively powerful CPU options for such a thin profile. We bought a laptop with the Ryzen 7 8845HS which is the top chip model for this Lenovo series. Let’s start with the good news. During max processor loads, the two fans are audible but not noisy and the processor can maintain decent clocks in short and medium stress. When the AMD chip is pushed hard for a long time, the clocks here are below the official base ones and the WASD section reaches 55°C. On the bright side, this machine always feels responsive and the SSD is also fast. The optional OLED panel (LEN160 2K (LEN8ABC)) boasts a 120 Hz refresh rate, infinite contrast ratio, and full DCI-P3 coverage.

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 Gen 9 (14″ AMD) review – Long Battery Life, Quiet Performance
Source: Laptop Media English
At the end of the day, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 Gen 9 (14″ AMD) is a powerful yet compact laptop that is suitable for office tasks or work on the go. Even though the CPU can’t reach its official base clock under max loads, the overall performance is very good. The device feels snappy and responsive which is also due to the fast SSD that unfortunately gets hot during benchmarking. When the processor is loaded at max, the fan remains relatively quiet and the keyboard feels slightly warm. This means the comfort during long stress is very good. The 1200p IPS display (LEN140WUXGA (LEN9125)) is all you need for office usage. The unit is PWM-free, has wide viewing angles, and offers a good contrast ratio of 1400:1.

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5i 16″ (16IMH9) Review – Trying To Find the Best 16″ Laptop for Work
Source: Laptop Media English
While it is not the perfect laptop for work, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5i 16″ (16IMH9) is a great all-rounder. It’s fairly portable, thanks to its lightweight body and slim chassis, and features a punchy, vivid display alongside a comfortable keyboard and trackpad. Performance-wise, the laptop strikes a balance between everyday usability and moderate multitasking. The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H provides solid performance for most daily tasks and can handle some creative workloads like light 3D rendering or video editing, although it may not be ideal for more demanding projects. While the lack of dedicated GPU options might seem limiting, the integrated Intel Arc graphics still deliver respectable capabilities, including support for light gaming—Shadow of the Tomb Raider, for example, runs smoothly at around 60 FPS on low settings. For everyday computing needs, the IdeaPad Slim 5i is a solid choice. If you’re looking for a more robust workhorse, consider the Pro 5 or Pro 5i series.

Comment

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.


Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

NVIDIA GeForce MX350: Successor of the MX250 and most likely a renamed GeForce GTX 1050 based on the Pascal GP107 chip with 640 shaders and a 64 Bit memory bus for GDDR5.

Intel Iris Xe G7 80EUs: Integrated graphics card in Intel Tiger Lake G7 SoCs based on the new Gen. 12 architecture with 80 EUs (Execution Units / Shader Cluster). The clock rate depends on the processor model. The Tiger Lake chips are produced in the modern 10nm+ process at Intel.

14.00:

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact. 

In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers. 

16.00:

This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.
