Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 (16″, 2023) review – a better, slightly more expensive version of the IdeaPad Slim 3
Nowadays, 16-inch screens are so common, that even the more affordable laptops come with them. Gone are the days of 15.6-inch 16:10 displays. Now, you can even get the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 in a 16-inch form factor.
There is one inherent flaw of these devices – the increased weight. That’s totally not the case with the IdeaPad Slim 5 (16″, 2023). Not only is the laptop thin and light but also features some brand-new processors from AMD.
Well, the term “brand new” is not exactly true, since the Ryzen 7x30U CPUs are actually refreshes of the already refreshed Ryzen 5000U processors. Now, they are so fresh, it appears they have been treated by Listerine (not a sponsor … yet).
Anyways, the laptop is quite different from its less expensive cousin – the IdeaPad Slim 3 (16″, 2023). This is due to better materials used for the build, as well as some additional neet (but not novel) features.
