Malfunctioning Laptop
I am convinced this laptop doesn’t come with a fan inside. It randomly shuts down and needs to be restarted almost everyday. I thought it was just me, but when I went to the community section, I’m not the only one with this problem.

Pretty decent at this price point
The laptop is nice, but is quite heavy and sometimes louder than the previous IdeaPad 5 model that we had.
Overall, speed and responsiveness has been great.

Laptop that won't break the bank
It's been a great budget-friendly laptop. It handles my daily tasks with zero fuss, thanks to that AMD chip, and the build quality feels more solid than the price suggests. The keyboard is actually a huge plus—typing on it is a breeze, and the number pad is handy. Battery life has been decent for light work too. The only real bummer for me was the display; it's a bit la...

Pretty Good (Trackpad placement a little weird)
Let me start by saying - this does not compare to the perfect laptop that was my old IdeaPad bought in 2021.
The screen is bigger, there is a number keypad, and bigger memory. It is a pretty great laptop, but I do have one major issue.
The trackpad is off center, slightly to the left. When resting my fingers on the home keys (F & J) the inside of my palm/thumb som...

Another great laptop from lenovo!
Im honestly suprised with how well it runs even with some games my only dislike would be the battery life is shorter than i expected but it does charge fast.

Great value
Bought my Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 on sale, and it has turned out to be a real bargain for the functionality I received. Its small lightweight, but with features you usually get with larger, heavier machines. Heartily recommend it!

Very good but hot
Light and slim enough while also being large enough. Fast, and easy set up. This laptop gets hot, and it gets hot fast. This is not one you will cuddling up with on the couch. First laptop I have had to buy a cooling pad for, but it is still an excellent machine.

Great Machine at a great price
I got alerted to this deal and I am so happy I got it. This is a very capable and sleek computer. It has more than enough horsepower to do what I require while stay very slim and sleek making it the perfect laptop to travel with and stay productive. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something that does not weigh 10 bricks but still powerful.

Looks good, suits purpose
I bought this laptop for one of my relatives going off to college. Lightweight, portable, excellent for an English major. Good battery as far as I know, the screen is a nice size. Overall, relative was very pleased.

Runs Linux well
I was able to install and run Linux (Fedora 42) easily. Memory and NVME are easily accessible for changing/upgrading. The primary m2 nvme is a 2242, and there is an expansion for a 2280. On Linux, the unified memory works automatically with LMStudio and llama.cpp allowing the running of large LLMs locally, though only Vulkan drivers are supported at this time.
