Lenovo is dipping its toes in the 16-inch Chromebook segment with the new IdeaPad 5i Chromebook. Its biggest selling point is that 2.5K display with an extremely fast 120Hz refresh rate, 16:10 aspect ratio, and a maximum brightness of 350 nits. There will be a 60Hz, 300-nit FHD version, which we assume would cost less. This Chromebook will retail in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa this month with a starting price of €549 (around CA$717).

The Lenovo IdeaPad 5i gets a 12-hour battery life, but we aren't sure if that'll translate with that high-resolution, high-refresh-rate display. It has a keyboard with 1.5mm travel, WavesMaxxAudio tuned speakers, FHD camera with a physical shutter, Intel Pentium 8505 or Intel Core i3-1215U, up to 8GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage.
