Our take on the Lenovo Ideapad 1i 15.6" FHD Touch Laptop
The IdeaPad 1i is Lenovo's entry-level 15.6-inch laptop, here with a full-HD touchscreen, a Core i5, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. The touch display and generous memory stand out in a budget class where most rivals offer 8GB and a non-touch panel. It suits students, home office users and anyone who wants a roomy screen for browsing, documents and video calls. Against pricier ultrabooks it is heavier and built from plain plastic, and its battery is modest, but the core specs hold up well for everyday work.

Questions and answers
- Is the IdeaPad 1i good for students?
- Yes for essays, research, video calls and streaming. It is heavier than a premium ultrabook, so carrying it daily is a trade-off.
- Can it handle gaming or video editing?
- Only light, older games and simple edits. The i5 and integrated graphics are built for everyday productivity, not demanding creative work.
- Does the touchscreen work with a stylus?
- It responds to finger input. Lenovo does not list active pen support for this model, so treat it as a touch-first screen.
- How does it compare with the non-touch IdeaPad 1i?
- Same chassis and internals, with touch added. Choose this version if you want touch input; otherwise the standard panel is the same size and resolution.
- Is the RAM or storage upgradeable?
- The SSD can be swapped, but the memory is soldered on this line. Buy the 16GB version if you expect to multitask heavily.
- What ports does it have?
- It covers the basics: USB-A and USB-C ports, HDMI and a headphone jack, plus a card reader on most configurations.
