Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 15 review (2024 15IRU9 model, Core 7 150U, IPS)

on Ultrabook Review by Andrei Girbea

Điểm mạnh: clean design, solid build quality and good ergonomics; matte display with IPS 100% sRGB panel; fair performance for daily multitasking; quiet fan, keeps silent with daily chores; decent audio and battery life, even with the smaller 57Wh battery

Điểm yếu: shallow (non-backlit) keyboard and clunky touchpad; hardly competitive hardware platform in today's market; high internal and external temperatures in sustained loads; rather expensive at this point

Kết luận: The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 15-inch is a mixed bag. On one hand, it's compact, aims above its class with the build quality and choice in materials, and is snappy enough with daily use, while keeping nearly silent in most cases. On the other, inputs are rather finicky on this series, and the Intel Core 7 150U hardware platform is a tough sell today. However, with later discounts, this could be a competitive daily driver, just make sure you carefully read the specs-sheets so you don't end up with a non-backlit keyboard, no IR and the smaller battery variant.
