New Launch from Lenovo In Europe
Lenovo has kinda quietly launched a new version of their IdeaPad Slim 5x on the European market. Initially, they introduced a 15-inch model in North America, but now they added a smaller one. The latest is called the 13Q8Y11, and its dimensions are 295 x 207 x 14 mm with a weight of just 1.19 kg. This makes it a lot smaller and lighter than the previous 14-inch version, which is priced around $775 on Amazon.
Specifications and Features
Under the hood, this compact machine packs a Snapdragon X2 Plus X2P-42-100 chipset, featuring 6 Oryon V3 cores, making it quite a powerhouse for its size. It sports a 54.7 Wh battery, capable of supporting a 65 W charger, and Lenovo claims you can get over 28 hours of battery life if you’re watching 1080p videos at 150 nits. For now, the display is limited to a 1200p IPS panel, though Lenovo has hinted at an available 1600p screen option in the future. The current display covers 100% of sRGB with a peak brightness of 400 nits and a refresh rate of 120 Hz.
Pricing and Market Availability
The starting price for the new IdeaPad Slim 5x 13Q8Y11 is around £1,050, with prices in the Eurozone fluctuating between €1,230 and €1,249.
