If you’re looking for a laptop in 2020, you’re probably confused by the sheer number of models out there. But to keep it simple, we’ll narrow it down to three categories: traditional, gaming, and ultrabook.
Traditional is the bang-for-the-buck laptops that offer overall decent performance. They’re popular among budgeted hunters, but you have to live with some compromises such as mediocre build or dim display. Gaming laptops, on the other end, pack tons of power suited for intensive graphics processing but that power comes with great battery consumption and a hefty build. With an ultrabook, it stands between a gaming and a traditional laptop. It’s thin and light enough to be carried anywhere, but it’s also powerful enough to handle the basic tasks and light creative work.

Now, that’s where the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 (or IdeaPad Slim 5i for the Intel version) comes in. Its lightweight build makes it appealing for those who are on-the-go, and the performance prowess provided by either the Intel Core 10th-gen CPU or AMD Ryzen 7 4800 CPU can handle almost anything you throw at it. However, we’re going to derail from the usual specs rundown when looking for your next laptop.

Reliable performance and connectivity
There’s no doubt that performance is off the roof with the IdeaPad Slim 5/5i, but raw performance isn’t always the whole story.

With most of your work done online, a fast and strong connection is always required. Fortunately, Wi-Fi 6 got you covered.
If you work a lot with photos and videos, you can render them easily with a dedicated NVIDIA GPU (or Radeon GPU for AMD) as it doubles the performance of a built-in one. You can further unlock the capability of the IdeaPad Slim 5/5i with the use of a fast USB-C port. It supports a Display Port for extending monitors, as well as Power Delivery for ease of charging.
Solid battery life and quick charge features

With the IdeaPad Slim 5/5i, you can rely on its long battery life for maximizing work that needs to be done. And if you find yourself running out of battery, you can always take advantage of its Rapid Charge feature that provides up to 2 hours of usage in just 15 minutes of charging.
Due to the nature of the internet, you can’t practically trust anyone. That’s why Lenovo’s hallmark — the TrueBlock Privacy Shutter — keeps your privacy in check, while the built-in fingerprint reader guards your important files against malicious intruders.
Top-notch technical support
Making the IdeaPad Slim 5/5i more reliable on turning ideas into life is its 3-Year Premium Care warranty solution that comes bundled upon purchase. Damages are inevitable and hinder progress but Premium Care can get you quickly back up and running to chase your dreams with its 24×7 direct access to Lenovo technicians, comprehensive software and hardware support, and On-premises repair on the next business day.
