- Is the Lenovo IdeaPad 5i 2-in-1 16-inch good for students?
- Yes for general coursework: the 16-inch touchscreen suits notes and reading, and 16 GB RAM plus a 1 TB SSD covers most workloads. It is heavy to carry daily and not built for gaming or heavy video editing.
- Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?
- RAM cannot be upgraded because the 16 GB LPDDR5X is soldered to the board. The 1 TB SSD is a standard drive and is generally replaceable, though that can affect warranty coverage.
- Does it have a backlit keyboard and fingerprint reader?
- The listing does not confirm either. Check the specific model configuration before buying if a backlit keyboard or fingerprint login matters to you.
- How does the Core Ultra 7 255U compare to older IdeaPad processors?
- The 255U is a 12-core chip from Intel's Core Ultra 200U line, a step up from older 13th-gen U-series parts in multitasking and efficiency. It is still a low-power chip, so expect everyday speed rather than gaming performance.
- Is $899.99 a good price for this configuration?
- At $899.99 at Newegg as of November 7, 2026, you get a 16-inch touch convertible with 16 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD, which is reasonable for the specs. Compare against other 16-inch convertibles with 120Hz screens before deciding.
- What comes in the box?
- Typically the laptop and its power adapter, plus paperwork. A stylus is not confirmed as included, so budget for one if you plan to write or draw on the touchscreen.
