Lenovo launches new lightweight 14-inch laptop globally with dual SSD slots and 120 Hz display

Lenovo has already released countless IdeaPad laptops this year. So far, many of these have featured AMD Ryzen AI 400 or Intel Panther Lake processors. Now, the company has returned to Intel's older Lunar Lake platform with the introduction of the IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra 14ILL11.
For reference, the company released the IdeaPad Slim 5 14IPH11 earlier this month featuring Intel Panther Lake processors. The IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra 14ILL11 should have the edge when it comes to graphics performance though, thanks to its Arc 140V iGPU. According to our benchmarks, little will separate the Slim 5 Ultra from the IdeaPad Slim 5 when it comes to CPU performance, either.
However, the IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra 14ILL11 is around 22% lighter than the IdeaPad Slim 5 14IPH11. Specifically, the former weighs 1.06 kg with an OLED display and 1.14 kg with an IPS display. Hence, the IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra 14ILL11 is lighter in all cases than the MacBook Air 13 (curr. $999 on Amazon) despite featuring up to a 120 Hz IPS or 60 Hz OLED display.
Moreover, the IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra 14ILL11 will be configurable with 16 GB or 32 GB of RAM by virtue of Intel's Core Ultra 5 226V, Core Ultra 5 228V, and Core Ultra 7 256V processors. Also, the laptop contains M.2 2242 (PCIe 4 x4) and M.2 2280 (PCIe 4 x2) slots and a 65 Wh battery. Lenovo includes an anodised aluminium housing on all SKUs, too.
Lenovo has not revealed how much the IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra 14ILL11 costs yet. Likewise, we have been unable to find the laptop at any third-party retailers, either. Please see Lenovo's PSREF website for more details about the company's first Ultra-branded IdeaPad laptop.
