Lenovo Ideapad Slim 5i Laptop, Intel Core Ultra 5 Processor, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 14" WUXGA OLED???

Question

Here in UK, after returning a £400 Windows 11 laptop to a vendor and deciding that I shall have to spend a bit more, "to see me out", as my wife charmingly puts it, I am looking at the:

Lenovo Ideapad Slim 5i Laptop, Intel Core Ultra 5 Processor, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 14" WUXGA OLED, Cloud Grey.

It's around £629 in UK. It seems that this new-ish "Core Ultra 5" is a bit more capable than the i5 that we have loved?

Notebookcheck gave it a good review, but their main caveat is that the OLED screen is reflective and this can be annoying. 

Is there anything broadly similar but with a fairly matte screen?

Answer 1

Thank you, unfortunately Microsoft Surface prices are beyond my horizon.

I have now changed my mind, after chats with others, I have ordered the Lenovo that I mentioned here and I'll see how I get on with the OLED - I can always return the laptop if necessary.

Thanks, Mike

Hello mikedigi, welcome to the Microsoft Community!

Based on your feedback, you want a product with a matte screen

First of all, let me apologize.

Due to my status, I can't recommend any products outside of Microsoft.

So do a search, I've looked at a number of products that have a matte screen.

Then you can look at the following products to see if they meet your requirements.

Surface Laptop 4 ：Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 – Technical Specifications – Microsoft Surface

Surface Laptop Studio：Buy Surface Laptop Studio - See Specs, Price, 14.4" Touchscreen | Microsoft Store

They not only have a matte screen but also have a night light function to protect your eyes at night.

If you have any other needs, we look forward to your continued feedback!

We hope you find the above information useful.
