    Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra 14ILL11 Now Available

    Hardly any time has passed since Lenovo added the IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra 14ILL11 to its global PSREF website. So the 14-inch laptop is now available to purchase internationally following its MWC 2026 debut in March. It comes with Intel Lunar Lake processors and dual SSD slots, plus an option for a OLED display. This thing is even lighter then the MacBook Air 13.

    Pricing and Specs Details

    Currently, the IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra starts at AUD 1,799 in Australia, and HKD 10,288 in Hong Kong and SGD 1,299 (~$1,000) in Singapore. For those prices, Lenovo includes a Core Ultra 5 226V processor, which brings 8 cores, an Arc 130V iGPU and 16 GB of LPDDR5X-8533 RAM to the table. Also, the laptop features Wi-Fi 6 connectivity and a 1600p IPS display with 100% sRGB colour space coverage, 400 nits peak brightness and a 120 Hz refresh rate. On top of that, its 65 Wh battery is said to last 23.3 hours when playing 1080p locally-host videos at 150 nits.

    Processor Options and Performance

    Alternatively, it can be configured with a Core Ultra 7 256V in Australia, which surpasses the Core Ultra 5 226V by about 6% in CPU benchmarks and over 25% in GPU workloads. However, Lenovo charges 13% more for the privilege. This is a decent upgrade if you need more graphics power for your apps.

    A Fresh IdeaPad from Lenovo

    Lenovo has allready released countless IdeaPad laptops this year. So far, many of these have featured AMD Ryzen AI 400 or Intel Panther Lake processors. Now, the company has returned to Intel’s older Lunar Lake platform with the introduction of the IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra 14ILL11.

    Performance and Graphics Edge

    For reference, the company released the IdeaPad Slim 5 14IPH11 earlier this month featuring Intel Panther Lake processors. The IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra 14ILL11 should have the edge when it comes to graphics performance though, thanks to its Arc 140V iGPU. According to our benchmarks, little will separate the Slim 5 Ultra from the IdeaPad Slim 5 when it comes to CPU performance, either.

    Weight and Display Options

    However, the IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra 14ILL11 is around 22% lighter than the IdeaPad Slim 5 14IPH11. Specifically, the former weighs 1.06 kg with an OLED display and 1.14 kg with an IPS display. Hence, the IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra 14ILL11 is lighter in all cases than the MacBook Air 13 despite featuring up to a 120 Hz IPS or 60 Hz OLED display.

    • Weight with OLED display: 1.06 kg
    • Weight with IPS display: 1.14 kg
    • Display options: 120 Hz IPS or 60 Hz OLED

    Configuration and Build Details

    Moreover, the IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra 14ILL11 will be configurable with 16 GB or 32 GB of RAM by virtue of Intel’s Core Ultra 5 226V, Core Ultra 5 228V, and Core Ultra 7 256V processors. Also, the laptop contains M.2 2242 (PCIe 4 x4) and M.2 2280 (PCIe 4 x2) slots and a 65 Wh battery. Lenovo includes an anodised aluminium housing on all SKUs, too.

    Pricing and Availibility

    Lenovo has not revealed how much the IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra 14ILL11 costs yet. Likewise, we have been unable to find the laptop at any third-party retailers, either. Please see Lenovo’s PSREF website for more details about the company’s first Ultra-branded IdeaPad laptop.
