Lenovoone of the best-known laptop manufacturers and one of the most prominent companies when it comes to assembling technologies (it even sells customized graphics models), is preparing to renew some of its laptop models with the latest generations of Intel processors and AMD.
That laptop manufacturers renew and present new generations of their reference models is something that has become a habit. Among all the compatible models, one that stands out is Dell’s XPS 13, of which a variant with Ubuntu as the operating system is always marketed. With this case on the table, it is not surprising that Lenovo does the same, although given the dates we are in, it may save some cards for CES 2023 that will be held early next year in the American city of Las Vegas. .
Among the models that will be renewed by Lenovo, as they have been announced, are the IdeaPad Pro 5 and 5i with 14-inch and 16-inch screens respectivelyAlthough both models will use Intel’s Core i5 and Core i7 processors. The 14-inch display will support either 2.2K or 2.8K resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate, while the 16-inch will run at 2.5K native resolution and 120Hz frequency.
Lenovo has said that the future IdeaPad Pro 5 and 5i will have improved performance thanks to better temperature management, which will result in a less noisy experience from the heatsink fan. The laptops will include a 25% larger touchpad, a Full HD IR webcam with time-of-flight sensor and, in the case of the 16-inch model, a slot for an additional SSD drive will be made available.
On the other hand are the IdeaPad Slim, among which is the Slim 5i with a 16-inch screen and unspecified Intel processor. There will also be a 16-inch Slim 5 model with a Ryzen 3 7330U, Ryzen 5 7530U, or Ryzen 7 7730U as the processor., although always working at 60Hz. As a novelty, they will have a physical switch for the webcam and will be available in purple, cloud gray and abyss blue.
Regarding the commercialization date, this has been estimated in May 2023 for the United States. The IdeaPad Pro 5i with a 16-inch screen is targeting a price of US$1,500, while Slim 5s with AMD processors would start at US$650 and those with Intel processors would have a base price of US$750.
