Lenovo's IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra hits international markets this month, bringing a lightweight 14-inch laptop with over 20 hours of battery life and dual SSD slots. The new model targets users who need portability without sacrificing storage flexibility or all-day endurance.
Powered by Intel Lunar Lake processors
The IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra is powered by Intel's Lunar Lake processors, offering a choice between the Core Ultra 5 226V with eight cores or the faster Core Ultra 7 256V. Graphics come from Intel's Arc 130V iGPU on the base model, with an upgrade to Arc 140V available. The laptop ships with 16 GB of LPDDR5X-8533 RAM.
Specifications
- Processor: Intel Core Ultra 5 226V (8 cores) or Core Ultra 7 256V
- Graphics: Intel Arc 130V iGPU (base) or Arc 140V (upgrade)
- Memory: 16 GB LPDDR5X-8533 RAM
- Display: 14-inch 1600p IPS, 100% sRGB, 400 nits, 120 Hz; optional 1200p/60 Hz OLED
- Battery: 65 Wh
The standard display is a 14-inch 1600p IPS panel with 100% sRGB coverage, 400 nits brightness, and a 120 Hz refresh rate. Buyers can opt for a 1200p OLED screen at 60 Hz, which reduces battery life. Storage includes up to 1 TB via an M.2 2242 SSD, and the dual slots allow for future expansion. Connectivity options range from Wi-Fi 6 to Wi-Fi 7.
Pricing and availability details
Lenovo rates the 65 Wh battery at 23.3 hours of 1080p video playback with the IPS display, dropping to 19.5 hours with the OLED panel. According to Notebookcheck, the Core Ultra 7 256V offers roughly 6% faster CPU performance and over 25% faster GPU performance than the Core Ultra 5 226V.
Pricing starts at 1799 AUD (about $1,291) in Australia, 10288 HKD (about $1,313) in Hong Kong, and 1299 SGD (about $1,015) in Singapore. The laptop is available now in those regions, with a broader rollout planned for other markets later this month.
The IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra sits below Lenovo's premium ThinkPad line but offers competitive specs for a mainstream ultraportable. We recently covered Lenovo's ThinkPad X9 series, which shares the same vendor focus on business and consumer laptops.
The IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra is confirmed with Lunar Lake processors, dual SSD slots, and long battery life. Pricing and availability are set for multiple regions, making it a practical choice for users seeking a balanced 14-inch laptop.
