What’s new from Lenovo?
- Lightness and compactness. The model weighs only 1.19 kg – lighter than the MacBook Neo, but slightly wider (295 × 207 mm versus 297.5 × 206.4 mm).

- Display. An IPS panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate and 400 cd/m² brightness delivers smoother images and good color reproduction (100 % sRGB). Compared to the MacBook Neo, which has an OLED display, its brightness is lower – 519 cd/m².

- Memory and expandability. The ability to install up to 16 GB of RAM and replace the M.2 2280 SSD makes the laptop flexible for various tasks.

- Battery. With a capacity of 54.7 Wh, the device can play 1080p video almost a full day (24.7 h), which far exceeds the average battery life of modern ultrabooks.

Additional models
Lenovo also introduced the IdeaPad Slim 3i line with options in 14, 15, 16 and 17 inches. They target a broader market segment but do not directly compete with the MacBook Neo.

> Important: The exact price and release date for the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5i 13IWC11 have not yet been announced. It is expected that the laptop will appear in the coming months and will be available for purchase at official Lenovo stores.
