Lenovo has launched the IdeaPad 5i Chromebook \u2014 a device that looks fairly unremarkable but has a potentially standout screen. The device will be available in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa in September 2022 with a starting price of \u20ac549 \u2014 US pricing and availability are still to be announced.<\/p>\n

The IdeaPad 5i is Lenovo\u2019s first 16-inch Chromebook, and it\u2019s a substantial one at 4.10 pounds and 0.8 inches thick. The display has a 2.5K resolution, a 16:10 aspect ratio, and a maximum brightness of 350 nits \u2014 but what really has the Chromebook community buzzing is that it also has a 120Hz refresh rate. That means you can see up to 120 frames per second when you\u2019re gaming (on GeForce Now<\/a> or Stadia<\/a>, for example). It should also make for a noticeably smooth scrolling experience and more enjoyable video-watching. 120Hz is a higher refresh rate than you see from all kinds of modern laptops (such as the $3,499.99 Asus one<\/a> I just reviewed. No, I\u2019m still not over it).<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also an option for a 60Hz, 300-nit FHD screen, which will presumably cost less.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, the IdeaPad 5i is said to have 12 hours of battery life (which strikes me as ambitious for a high-resolution, high-refresh-rate screen, but I guess you never know), a keyboard with 1.5mm of travel, and speakers tuned by Waves MaxxAudio. The camera is FHD and has a physical shutter. <\/p>\n

As for processors, buyers can choose between an Intel Pentium 8505 and a more powerful Core i3-1215U and can get up to 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. <\/p>\n

Lenovo also announced two new additions to its Tab P11 tablet lineup. The second-gen Tab P11 Pro targets a media-viewing crowd with a 600-nit 11.2-inch OLED touchscreen and support for HDR10 Plus. It\u2019s powered by the MediaTek Kompanio 1300T octa-core processor offering 120 percent more power than the previous device (which my colleague Dan Seifert referred to as<\/a> an \u201cOLED screen movie machine\u201d).<\/p>\n

A \u201cThinkPad-inspired\u201d detachable keyboard is included. You can add Lenovo\u2019s Precision Pen 3, which magnetically attaches to the device. <\/p>\n

Also announced is the second-gen Lenovo Tab P11, which runs the tablet-oriented Android 12L<\/a>. This device has an 11.5-inch regular LCD display, also with a 120Hz refresh rate. It\u2019s powered by a MediaTek G99 chip and is said to be 50 percent more powerful than its predecessor.<\/p>\n

Both tablets include subscriptions to Nebo<\/a>, a digital notebook software, and MyScript Calculator 2<\/a>, a calculation tool that can solve written equations. Both come in Storm Grey; the P11 Pro also has an Oat option, and the P11 has a Sage option. The products will receive \u201cat least two major Android OS upgrades\u201d and three years of security updates from the time of launch.<\/p>\n

The P11 Pro is launching in September with a starting price of $399.99. We\u2019ll have to wait until January for the regular P11 Pro, which will start at $249.99. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
