Lenovo has quietly added a new 15-inch laptop to its lineup. The IdeaPad Slim 5i (model 15IWC11) recently appeared on the company’s product specification site, giving us a full look at the hardware before any official pricing or availability details have been announced. Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, it looks like a straightforward, practical machine built around Intel’s new Wildcat Lake processors.
Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5i Specifications
The laptop comes with a 15.3-inch 120Hz IPS touchscreen display. It has a 1920×1200 resolution, which means it uses the taller 16:10 aspect ratio that gives you a bit more vertical space for reading and working. The screen tops out at 400 nits of brightness and covers the standard sRGB color gamut. The chassis is made of aluminum, comes in a simple gray finish, and weighs about 3.28 pounds, which is fairly standard for a laptop of this size.
Inside, you can configure the Slim 5i with either an Intel Core 5 320 or Core 7 350 processor. Both are six-core chips with two performance cores and four low-power efficiency cores. Because it’s 2026, it naturally includes a neural processing unit (NPU) capable of up to 17 TOPS.
This meets the baseline for Microsoft‘s AI PC branding, meaning it has the mandatory Copilot key on the keyboard. For memory, you can get either 16GB or 32GB of RAM, but it is soldered to the motherboard, so you won’t be able to upgrade it yourself later. Storage is handled by a standard M.2 SSD up to 1TB.
Lenovo is offering two battery sizes: 54.7Wh and 70Wh. The spec sheet claims up to 22.8 hours of local 1080p video playback on the larger battery, though real-world web browsing and work tasks will drain it much faster than that.
The port selection is very practical. You get two USB-C ports that handle charging and display output, two standard USB-A ports, an HDMI 2.1 port, a microSD card reader, and a headphone jack. There is also a 1080p webcam with a physical privacy shutter and an IR sensor for Windows Hello facial recognition.
In related news, Lenovo also recently updated the ThinkPad E14 and E16 with Intel Core Ultra processors, high refresh rate 2.8K/2.5K displays, and AI-powered features.
