Lenovo has announced two new Chromebooks ahead of Mobile World Congress next week. The new IdeaPad 5i and IdeaPad Flex 5i are powered by Intel’s 11th Gen Tiger Lake processors.

IdeaPad 5i

The Lenovo IdeaPad 5i is a 14-inch Chromebook with a FHD display and optional touchscreen. Depending on the configuration, the Chromebook comes with an Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor, Intel Core i3-1115G4, or Pentium 7505 processor. It has 4GB or 8GB of RAM and up to 512GB of SSD storage.

For connectivity, there are two USB 3.1 Type-C ports, one USB 3.1 Type-A port, a MicroSD card slot, and a microphone/headphone combo jack. The device also has Bluetooth 5.1 and Wi-Fi 6.

Lenovo is offering the IdeaPad 5i in Sand and Storm Grey, and both models have a light bar below the trackpad. This light bar will switch between colors to show the amount of battery life remaining.

The IdeaPad 5i will be available next month with a starting price of $439.99

IdeaPad Flex 5i

If you want a 2-in-1, then the IdeaPad Flex 5i is for you. It has a 13.3-inch touch display with an option for an OLED panel.
