My New Favorite Thing: The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 R

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a new laptop for my sophomore year that could handle schoolwork, streaming, and just hanging out online. My old one was slow and had a tiny screen. After a lot of research, I got the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 with an AMD processor, and I'm honestly obsessed with it.
The first thing you notice is the screen. It's huge, 16 inches, but the laptop itself doesn't feel like a giant brick. The extra height is perfect for writing essays because you can see more of the document at once. For watching YouTube or movies, it feels like a little private theater.
The performance is just smooth. It starts up fast, doesn't lag when I have ten tabs open for a research project, and switches between my homework and my music effortlessly. I haven't heard the fan get loud once. The battery life is probably its best feature. I can use it through all my school classes and then for a few more hours at home without panicking about the charger. It's a relief not to be tied to an outlet.
I also have to talk about the keyboard. Typing on it is actually comfortable, which is a big deal when you have a five-paragraph essay due. The keys have a nice click to them. The touchpad is huge and really responsive. I hardly ever feel the need to use a mouse.
It looks and feels more expensive than it is. The lid is metal and it just seems solid, not cheap or plasticky. I also love that it has all the ports I need, including an HDMI to connect to my TV and a regular USB port for my flash drive, so I don't need to carry annoying adapters.
Is it perfect? Well, the speakers are just okay. They're fine for videos, but I use my headphones for music. And while it's slim, it's still a 16-inch laptop, so it takes up a good amount of space in my backpack.
But overall, I'm so happy with it. If you're a student or just need a reliable laptop for everyday stuff, this is an awesome choice. It does everything really well without costing a crazy amount. It's become my go-to for basically everything, and I'd definitely tell my friends to get one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It works very well most of the time. The internet connection is slower than I've had with other computers in the same location, so I suspect the wifi board is not very good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This laptop boots up fast and the battery life has been excellent so far. It's a little heavier than my 14" Lenovo Yoga series, but that's to be expected with it being larger and having a bigger battery.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To start the typing on this laptop is really smooth, nothing lags. Pus it's touch screen! It charges really fast for one, it takes about 2 hours max and compared to other devices it dies pretty slowly. It has a huge screen and face id so you aren't missing any perks. I'd say for the price and it's functions you'll have this laptop for a long time i'd recommend it to anyone who's looking for a regular or work laptop.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While the 14" laptop seems to be the go to size these days this 16" with its smaller 10 key keyboard is a great laptop for every day use. My wife likes the larger screen and has no complaints about the weight.
