Lenovo IdeaPad 5i Chromebook with 2.5K display & 12th Gen Intel processor launched

At the IFA 2022, Lenovo made a lot of new announcements and among them, this IdeaPad 5i Chromebook is surely a laptop that has watched your eyes obviously. With a new design language which looks both subtle and premium while still being powerful, thanks to the new 12th Gen Intel processors.

The sudden switch to remote work and learning two years ago quickly increased people’s reliance on technology, but it also ushered in a new and improved wave of remote everything – fitness, concerts, cinema, cooking, and even dance parties.

People learned to do everything they used to go out for, right in their own homes using their technology. Signs point to those behaviours persisting past the pandemic as consumers plan to spend more time on hobbies like home improvement and many expressing intentions of cooking at home more.

“Over the last two years, personal devices became the lifeline of people’s lives, the windows to the world, and often times a safe space to ‘get away’,” said Johnson Jia, Senior Vice President, Intelligent Devices Group’s Global Innovation Center, Lenovo. “Now, as consumers adapt to yet another new reality, their expectations of the technology they rely on are evolving, as well. The new Lenovo Chromebook and tablets we’ve introduced today are built to support people on the go, and importantly – to serve them in new and exciting ways while at home.”

All for One and One for All – IdeaPad 5i Chromebook

Just right for the entire family, the IdeaPad 5i Chromebook offers a quality experience with the power for every member of the family to get what they need to be done. As the first 16-inch laptop in Lenovo’s Chromebook portfolio, this premium laptop gives entire households the space to do more.

Featuring a vast borderless 2.5K display and a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother visuals, streaming that action-packed blockbuster up close and personal on this device will be a new favourite pastime.

Its FHD camera and two user-facing speakers tuned by Waves’ MaxxAudio® enable high-definition video conferencing with both image and sound clarity. When it’s time to check out for the day, users can keep things at home private with the built-in physical camera shutter.
