LENOVO’S NEW 120HZ CHROMEBOOK PROMISES A SMOOTH SCROLL

Lenovo has launched the IdeaPad 5i Chromebook – a device that has a potentially standout screen. The device will be available in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa in September 2022 with a starting price of €549 – US pricing and availability are still to be announced. The IdeaPad 5i is Lenovo’s first 16-inch Chromebook, and it’s a substantial one at 4.10 pounds and 0.8 inches thick. The display has a 2.5K resolution, a 16:10 aspect ratio, and a maximum brightness of 350 nits – but what really has the Chromebook community buzzing is that it also has a 120Hz refresh rate. That means you can see up to 120 frames per second when you’re gaming. It should also make for a noticeably smooth scrolling experience and more enjoyable video-watching. 120Hz is a higher refresh rate than you see from all kinds of modern laptops. There’s also an option for a 60Hz, 300-nit FHD screen, which will presumably cost less. The IdeaPad 5i is said to have 12 hours of battery life, a keyboard with 1.5mm of travel, and speakers tuned by Waves MaxxAudio. The camera is FHD and has a physical shutter.
