Lenovo releases new lightweight 14-inch laptop internationally with over 20 hours battery life and dual SSD slots
Hardly any time has passed since Lenovo added the IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra 14ILL11 to its global PSREF website. Nonetheless, the 14-inch laptop is now available to purchase internationally following its MWC 2026 debut in March.
To recap, the IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra combines Intel Lunar Lake processors with dual SSD slots and an optional OLED display, despite being lighter than the MacBook Air 13 (curr. $1,045 on Amazon). Currently, the IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra starts at AUD 1,799 in Australia, and HKD 10,288 in Hong Kong and SGD 1,299 (~$1,000) in Singapore.
For those prices, Lenovo includes a Core Ultra 5 226V processor, which brings 8 cores, an Arc 130V iGPU and 16 GB of LPDDR5X-8533 RAM to the table. Also, the laptop features Wi-Fi 6 connectivity and a 1600p IPS display with 100% sRGB colour space coverage, 400 nits peak brightness and a 120 Hz refresh rate. On top of that, its 65 Wh battery is said to last 23.3 hours when playing 1080p locally-host videos at 150 nits.
Alternatively, the IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra can be configured with a Core Ultra 7 256V in Australia, which surpasses the Core Ultra 5 226V by about 6% in CPU benchmarks and over 25% in GPU workloads. However, Lenovo charges 13% more for the privilege.
Moreover, the IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra is available with up to 1 TB of M.2 2242 storage, Wi-Fi 7 connectivity and a 1200p/60 Hz OLED display as needed. Please note that equipping an OLED display drops official battery life estimates by over 15% to 19.5 hours. Lenovo claims it will release the laptop in other markets later this month.
