Lenovo releases new 16-inch laptop internationally with an OLED display, 32 GB RAM and 27 hours battery life

Setting that aside, the IdeaPad Slim 3 16IWC11 starts at AUD 1,549, €1,599 and £1,350 (~$1,805) in Australia, the Eurozone and the UK, respectively. At the time of writing, the laptop starts with the Core 3 304, 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD in Australia. Multiple configuration options are available though, which take the IdeaPad Slim 3 16IWC11 up to the Core 7 350, 32 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM, 1 TB of PCIe Gen 4 storage and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity.

Lenovo also sells 50 Wh and 60 Wh batteries, which it claims should last 22 hours and 27 hours when playing 1080p local videos at 150 nits. Australia has only received a 1200p, 60 Hz and 400-nit IPS display, too. By contrast, the IdeaPad Slim 3 16IWC11 ships with a more colour-accurate 1200p OLED display in Europe, albeit with the same 60 Hz refresh rate and just 300 nits peak brightness. A single SKU consisting of the Core 7 350, 16 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD and a 50 Wh battery has only reached Europe for the time being, too.

For context, the IdeaPad Slim 3 16IWC11 joins 14-inch, 15-inch and 17-inch models that have received international releases too. Incidentally, we have already reviewed the IdeaPad Slim 3 15IWC11 with Core 7 350.
