Lenovo has put an unusual spin on the 15-inch convertible formula with the IdeaPad 5i 2-in-1 15IPH11. The standout configuration pairs a 165 Hz OLED display with an 84 Wh battery, a combination that is still rare in this class.
That mix matters because many 2-in-1 laptops still rely on more basic panels and smaller batteries. Lenovo is aiming at users who want a flexible machine for work and entertainment without giving up screen quality or endurance.
Two display paths, one premium option
The IdeaPad 5i 2-in-1 15IPH11 comes with two screen choices. One uses a 1200p IPS panel with a 60 Hz refresh rate and 400 nits of brightness, while the other steps up to a 1600p OLED panel with a 165 Hz refresh rate and 500 nits of brightness.
The OLED version is the headline configuration because it offers both a faster refresh rate and stronger color performance. Lenovo says that panel covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, while the IPS option is listed at 45% NTSC.
That makes the OLED model the more attractive choice for users who spend time with visual content. It also helps the laptop stand out in a market where 15-inch convertibles often stay close to standard configurations.
Built with upgrade room
Lenovo is also keeping the hardware flexible. The laptop supports 16 GB or 32 GB of DDR5-5600 memory in dual-channel mode.
Storage is not fixed either. The device includes two M.2 2242 slots, and one already comes populated with a Lenovo SSD, leaving room for expansion without replacing the machine.
That kind of setup is useful for buyers who expect to keep large project files, study materials, or work data on the laptop. In the 15-inch convertible segment, that level of upgradeability is still not common.
Battery choices that change the appeal
Power options are split between 60 Wh and 84 Wh batteries. The larger 84 Wh version is the most interesting for people who move around often and want fewer charging stops.
Paired with the OLED screen, the top configuration pushes the device closer to a premium convertible experience. Lenovo still offers a more modest route as well, with the IPS display and 60 Wh battery forming the lighter starting point.
Pricing and position
In the UK, pricing starts at £1,190. At the high end, the machine can reach £1,860 when equipped with a Core Ultra 7 355, 32 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD, the OLED display, and Wi-Fi 7.
In Europe, the initial price range is listed at €1,219 to €1,599 before stronger hardware is added. Lenovo directs prospective buyers to its official site for more details on the configuration options.
With its OLED 165 Hz panel, 84 Wh battery, and support for RAM and SSD upgrades, the IdeaPad 5i 2-in-1 15IPH11 lands as one of Lenovo’s more distinctive 15-inch convertibles. It is built to cover productivity, media, and portability in a single package while still leaving room for different user needs.
