Lenovo’s IdeaPad Slim 5 laptop with 16GB RAM is a steal for $430

It’s not every day that we see great laptops for amazing prices, so when I spotted the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 over at B&H for just $430, I had to bring it to your attention. That’s a crazy 46% discount on its original $790 price tag, and you’re getting a lot for what you end up paying.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 is a decently specced laptop, featuring an Intel Core 5 processor with 10 cores and 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM. That’s a combo that’ll easily get you through any day’s workload, plus media streaming, browser tab multitasking, and even some light gaming. There’s also a surprisingly large 1TB SSD on board. All of that is pretty darn good for any budget laptop under $500, and we’re talking about a brand-new buy here—not a refurbished option.

And if you’re mainly looking for productivity, you’ll get it here because this thing isn’t tiny. It has a 16-inch IPS display with a gorgeous 1920×1200 resolution, offering plenty of screen real estate so you don’t feel cramped even without a portable external monitor. You also get a 1080p webcam with privacy shutter, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity, two USB-C ports with 10Gbps speeds, a built-in microSD card slot, a fingerprint reader, an HDMI port, and 3.5mm audio jack.

Not only does the laptop come with pre-installed Windows 11 Home, but you’re also getting a complimentary 6-month subscription to Bitdefender Total Security for five different devices (worth about $50).

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 is a solid workhorse, especially when you can snag it on a deep discount like you can right now. Get it for just $430 at B&H while you can—it’s marked as “limited supply at this price.” If you miss it, you might still be able to score a nice laptop for a good price by checking out our favorite budget laptops under $500.
