New Larger Model from Lenovo
About six weeks ago, Lenovo launched the IdeaPad 5i 2-in-1 14IPH11 across Europe. Now, they refreshed the lineup with a bigger version, the IdeaPad 5i 2-in-1 15IPH11, to take place the older Arrow Lake-based IdeaPad 5i 2-in-1, which was reviewed back in late 2025. The new model is now available in Europe, and already in markets like Australia and North America since late March, giving users more options to choose from.
Processor Options and Performance
The 15-inch version kicks off with the Core Ultra 5 325 processor in Europe, but there’s talk that Lenovo might release a lower-cost Core Ultra 5 322 variant in the future, especially in North America. Our tests indicate that the Core Ultra 5 325 performs very similarly to the Core Ultra 7 355, both featuring comparable integrated graphics with 4 Xe3 cores. While the processor choice is vital, the performance is quite competitive for its price range, making it a versatile machine for light productivity and multimedia tasks.
Configurable RAM and Storage
The ideaPad 15IPHI11 can be customized with either 16 GB or 32 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM, working in dual-channel configuration. This RAM isn’t just powerful but also upgradeable by the user, which makes future-proofing easier. Storage-wise, it includes an M.2 2242 slot, and surprisingly, there’s an additional M.2 2242 slot available, way better than many other 15-inch laptops that usually have limited expansion options. The SSD itself is also user-replaceable, giving more flexibility for upgrades.
Display and Battery Choices
Regarding the display, consumers can choose between a 1200p, 60Hz, 400-nit IPS panel or a more vibrant 1600p, 165Hz, 500-nit OLED screen. The OLED option, in particular, offers high color accuracy with 100% DCI-P3 coverage versus only 45% NTSC for the lower resolution display. Batteries come in two sizes, 60Wh or 84Wh, catering to different usage needs and ensuring longer battery life for portable work or entertainment. The variety allows users to balance performance, display quality, and battery life based on their budget and requirements.
Pricing and Market Availability
As for price points, the starting price in the UK is around £1,190, but with higher-end configurations like a Core Ultra 7 355, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, OLED display, and Wi-Fi 7, costs can reach up to £1,860. In Europe, prices begin at €1,219 and can go up to €1,599 before adding extra hardware. For those interested in more detailed specifications and options, it’s worth checking Lenovo’s official website or local Lenovo stores, especially in countries like France, Germany, Ireland, and the UK, where the device is currently marketed.
