The Lenovo Ideapad Slim 5i Pro starts at Rs 71,490. It can’t be considered cheap, but the price is reasonable for the features, which are premium and better than before. It’s a thin and light notebook, perfect for work and students.
Design And Aesthetics
There are a lot of compact notebooks hitting the market recently. Compact laptops are typically reserved for business travelers, but companies like Lenovo want a broad set of consumers to have access to premium-looking, well-designed, portable notebooks.
The design of the Lenovo notebook is simple but also has a satisfying allure to it. It is available in a sandstone finish and has an all-metal build. The hinge is very smooth and steady for opening and closing, and the laptop’s lid can be opened with even one hand. The Slim 5i Pro weighs around 1.3kg and you can carry this notebook to a cafe or business meeting without thinking twice. Aesthetically, it’s not a very flashy-looking notebook. It feels good to hold and is small enough to be tucked in a bag.

Ports And Security In Lenovo Ideapad Slim 5i Pro
On the left, there is a USB-C port that is used for data, the AC adapter, HDMI 1.4, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The right side of the notebook has dual USB-A 3.2 ports supported by a microSD card reader. There is no Ethernet, but Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 are there.
The Notebook Also Has A 720p Webcam
The IR camera which is accompanied by the Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor quickly reads your face and unlocks the PC. The laptop can sense your presence and can lock the device when you are away from the notebook. This feature can be turned off as well if you don’t want it.
The display is a perfect 14-inch 2.2K (2240×1400) IPS panel which has a refresh rate of 60Hz and a peak brightness of 300 nits. There are no issues faced when it comes to watching videos and reading text. The colors are quite vivid and the viewing angles are good too.

Display And Audio
For an average user, the biggest jump would be from 16:9 to 16:10 aspect ratio screen. There are slim bezels around the display, and you get to have more screen real estate, which is quite useful when scrolling through big web pages. Editors and website managers would be happy with the 16:10 aspect ratio screens.
While the majority of thin laptops tend to have pretty poor audio, the Slim 5i Pro provides a decently loud voice and offers a reasonable midrange. The speakers on the machine are front-facing, and the sound is projected quite well. The microphone is also quite solid in this notebook.
Keyboard And Trackpad
Keyboards and trackpads matter a lot. The backlit keyboard on the Slim 5i Pro is very shallow, but the keys are tactile and the feedback is good. The trackpad has good size, and although it’s not the best in responding, it should be fine for most of the customers.
