You also get a 14-inch option if you want a slightly smaller laptop, but Lenovo sent the bigger one over to us. Moving on to the display, the IdeaPad Slim 5i comes with a 15.6-inch IPS display with a Full HD resolution. This is certainly a laptop that will fit right in at work, in board meetings, and anywhere else you decide to take it. It’s perfectly understated while not being completely invisible to the eye. Overall, Lenovo has knocked it out of the park with the design and build of this laptop. On the sides, you get the usual ports (more on those later as well), along with a power input and an LED indicator that lights up when you’re charging the laptop. It appears rubberized, though I don’t think it actually is, but the best thing is I don’t see any weird fingerprints getting on this surface with normal use. The lid is actually the lightest colour on the laptop, the bezels are black and the keyboard is a nice dark grey that looks amazing. Lenovo has used a dark colour all over this laptop, which in my opinion looks really nice. It’s these little things that make a device feel well thought out. There’s a webcam up top, and I really love Lenovo’s built-in privacy shutter that you can slide over the webcam to cover it up. There’s a large 15.6-inch display here (more on that later) surrounded by thin bezels which make the laptop look good. Once you open up the lid as well, the IdeaPad Slim 5i continues to impress. However, I do appreciate laptops that aren’t too bulky for no good reason, and it’s nice to see most work laptops getting a thinner profile these days. The laptop itself is slim, and feels well built to the touch. That means it has a lid with no obnoxiously large branding, just a small Lenovo tag on the left edge.

The laptop comes with a typically Lenovo design language, which I like. The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5i doesn’t seem to be cutting any corners on the design and build aspect.
