The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5, a 16 inch laptop already built with students in mind, has just dropped in price by £200.
That cut takes the IdeaPad Slim 5 from £699.99 down to £499.99, a straight £200 saving that works out at close to 30% off just as the back to school shopping season gets going.
It’s never too early to think about back to school laptops, and Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 is now 30% cheaper
£499.99 now buys you a 16 inch, terabyte, 13th generation Core i5 Lenovo laptop built for coursework, streaming and video calls.
The IdeaPad Slim 5 runs on a 13th generation Intel Core i5 processor with 16GB of DDR5 memory, which is enough headroom to keep your tab-heavy browser going, plus everything else you need to do.
There is also a full terabyte of SSD storage on board, which means four years of lecture notes, project files and downloaded course material can live on the laptop itself without constantly deleting things to make room.
That storage is put to good use on a 16 inch WUXGA display running at 1920×1200 pixels with a 60Hz refresh rate, giving enough screen space to work in two windows side by side without feeling cramped.
Dolby Audio speakers back that screen up, tuned to add real depth to lecture recordings, films and music rather than the thin, tinny sound that most budget laptop speakers settle for by default, which matters when headphones aren’t within reach.
Connectivity keeps pace too, with Wi-Fi 7 support for a faster, steadier connection in a crowded lecture hall or student flat, and HDMI, Bluetooth and USB all built in for plugging into a monitor or a set of speakers.
And at this price, this is a great pick for a best student laptop – even better when its backed up by Lenovo’s promise to match any further price drops in the next six months.
