Les preuves
Performance
The Ryzen 5 7520U surprised us. It's a 4-core chip that punches above its weight for everyday tasks, and the 8GB of LPDDR5 keeps things snappy when you've got a dozen tabs open. The 2TB SSD is the real story here. That's more storage than most gaming laptops ship with, and it loads apps and files instantly. The integrated Radeon 610M is fine for video playback and light photo editing, but don't expect to run anything more demanding than Minesweeper at full settings.

vs Competition
The IdeaPad Slim 1 sits in an awkward spot. The Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro has a far better display and battery life for a similar price, though you'll sacrifice the massive storage. The MSI Prestige is a better choice if you need more performance for creative work. And if you're just looking for a cheap Chromebook for browsing and documents, the Lenovo Chromebook with the N4500 is half the price and does 80% of what this does. The IdeaPad Slim 1 tries to be a budget laptop with premium storage, but it ends up being neither budget nor premium.

Prix
Value & Pricing
At CAD 1,420, this is a tough sell. You're paying a premium for that 2TB SSD, but the rest of the machine doesn't justify the price. For the same money, you could get a laptop with a brighter display, better battery life, and upgradeable RAM. The storage is nice, but it's not worth sacrificing everything else.
En savoir plus
Overview
The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 1 is a budget laptop that gets the basics right and not much else. The Ryzen 5 7520U and 8GB of LPDDR5 handle schoolwork, browsing, and Zoom without breaking a sweat, and the 2TB SSD is genuinely overkill for this class of machine. But that 220-nit display is a letdown, and the 42Wh battery won't get you through a full day of classes no matter what the marketing says.
Common Questions
Q: Can this laptop handle gaming?
No. The integrated Radeon 610M can handle browser games and maybe some light indie titles, but anything 3D will struggle. If you want to game, look for something with a dedicated GPU.
Q: Is the battery life really 9 hours?
In our testing, no. The 42Wh battery is small for a 15.6-inch laptop. Expect 5-6 hours of real-world use with brightness turned up. Bring your charger.
Q: Can I upgrade the RAM later?
No. The 8GB of LPDDR5 is soldered to the motherboard. What you buy is what you get forever. If you think you'll need more RAM, buy a laptop with 16GB now.
Who Should Skip This
If you care about screen quality, battery life, or future-proofing, this isn't it. The 220-nit display is rough in bright rooms, and the soldered RAM means you're stuck with 8GB forever. Go get a Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro for a better screen and battery, or a MacBook Air if you want something that'll last five years without feeling slow.
Verdict
The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 1 is a decent laptop with one standout feature: that 2TB SSD. But the dim display, mediocre battery life, and soldered RAM make it hard to recommend at this price. If you need massive storage and don't care about screen quality, it works. For everyone else, there are better options for the same money.
