A Detailed Review Of The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15 (2021) Laptop
LENOVO IDEAPAD 5 15 (2021) – Here is a thorough and detailed evaluation of the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15 (2021), highlighting its positive aspects as well as its drawbacks.
The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15 (2021) is an ultraportable Windows laptop. It offers a variety of Intel 11th Gen. CPUs, ranging from the Core i3-1115G4 to the Core i7-1195G7, with options for up to 16GB of RAM and more than 1TB of storage. You can select between a 1080p TN or IPS panel for the display. It features a full-size keyboard with a Numpad, a 720p webcam with a privacy cover, and supports Wi-Fi 6 connectivity.
In terms of connectivity, it includes two USB-A ports, a USB-C port, an HDMI 1.4 port, an SD card reader, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The USB-C port supports both charging and video output. Additionally, it incorporates a fingerprint sensor within the power button for swift logins. The laptop is offered in three color options: Abyss Blue, Graphite Gray, and Platinum Gray.
The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15 is suitable for school use. Its 15.6-inch screen is adequately bright for most indoor environments, but its low contrast tends to make blacks appear gray in dim settings and its limited color gamut results in washed-out colors. While the speakers deliver decent sound, they are more suitable for spoken content than for music or movies, lacking sufficient bass. The battery lasts just over five hours during video playback; fortunately, its compact power adapter is easy to carry in most bags, and the laptop can be charged via USB-C as well.
