Lenovo’s IdeaPad 5i 2-in-1 (15 Gen 11) comes with a 165Hz OLED panel that peaks at 1100 nits in HDR, combined with Intel’s latest Core Ultra platform in a 15-inch convertible form factor, similar to devices we have seen like the Lenovo IdeaPad Gen 11 lineup with AI CPUs and OLED displays.
The laptop is currently offered with the Intel Core Ultra 7 355, an 8-core processor rated at 25W with integrated graphics, part of the broader Intel Core Ultra 200 series desktop CPUs ecosystem. Memory options include 16GB or 32GB of DDR5-5600, paired with up to 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD storage.
Lenovo provides two display configurations. The base model uses a 1920×1200 IPS panel, while the higher configuration features a 2560×1600 OLED panel with a 165Hz refresh rate. The OLED display reaches up to 500 nits in standard brightness and peaks at 1100 nits in HDR content.
The 360-degree hinge design supports laptop, tent, stand, and tablet modes, a layout also used in devices such as the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 11 OLED model. Stylus input is supported via the Lenovo Pen 2. The keyboard offers 1.3mm key travel, paired with a 120 × 75 mm touchpad for navigation.
Battery capacity goes up to 84Wh, while a 60Wh version supports Rapid Charge Boost, delivering up to two hours of runtime in around 15 minutes. Lenovo states that OLED configurations can deliver up to 25% longer video playback compared to the AMD-based variant, while IPS models may see slightly lower runtime under similar conditions.
Ports include HDMI 1.4b, two USB-C ports (USB 5Gbps with DisplayPort support), two USB-A ports, a microSD card reader, and a headset jack. External display output via HDMI is limited to 4K at 30Hz.
Compared to the AMD-based IdeaPad 5 2-in-1 (15AGP11), the Intel model introduces newer Core Ultra hardware but drops HDMI 2.1 in favor of HDMI 1.4b, limiting external display bandwidth.
The IdeaPad 5i 2-in-1 (15 Gen 11) starts at $849.99 in the US, $1,149.99 in Canada, and AUD 2,099 in Australia. Higher configurations with OLED display and upgraded memory are listed at significantly higher prices depending on region and configuration.
