Lenovo launches new 15-inch lightweight laptop globally with 120 Hz display and Intel Wildcat Lake

Lenovo is gradually expanding its Wildcat Lake offering globally. Earlier this month, the company unveiled four Wildcat Lake-powered laptops under its IdeaPad Slim 3 series. The IdeaPad Slim 5i 15IWC11 has now joined these four laptops, as has the smaller 13IWC11 that we have covered separately.
As the image below shows, Lenovo equips the Slim 5i 15IWC11 with dual USB Type-A and Type-C ports. Although it is only possible to charge the laptop from its right-hand side, both Type-C ports support up to 65 W Power Delivery. Also, Lenovo has included a microSD card reader, a full-sized HDMI port and an M.2 2280 slot occupied by an M.2 2242 SSD from the factory.
Nonetheless, the Slim 5i 15IWC11 is lighter than a MacBook Air 15 (curr. $1,149 on Amazon) at 1.49 kg. For reference, the laptop is also relatively compact at 339 x 236 x 15.6 mm. Lenovo cases the laptop in a sandblasted aluminium housing too, within which sits a touchpad measuring 80 x 135 mm. Moreover, the Slim 5i 15IWC11 will be configurable with 54.7 or 70 Wh batteries.
Lenovo adds that these batteries power either the Core 5 320 or Core 7 350, as well as up to 32 GB of LPDDR5X-7467 RAM. A 15.3-inch IPS display rounds off the 15IWC11, which combines a 1,920 x 1,200-pixel native resolution with 400 nits peak brightness, a 1,200:1 contrast ratio and a 120 Hz refresh rate. The company has not confirmed pricing or availability yet. Please see Lenovo's website for more details.
