Hello sir i have some questions about this laptop Is the 8g ram running in dual channel mode ? And can we upgrade the storage by putting another ssd into the laptop or it just have on slot for that
I purchased the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15IIL05 81YK 15.6" Notebook, Intel i7, 16GB Memory, 512GB SSD, Windows 10 (81YK000LUS). I am thinking about upgrading the Hard drive to 1TB.
that rarely ever happens, usually you fry ram by chosing a too high voltage or static electricity when touching the pins. But since that won't be the case with ram thats soldered on the chances that you will ever fry it are very minimal. The ram chips that are soldered on the board on the lenovo are also underneath a metal shield I believe.
@@NexXxus86 Hey, I'm wishing to buy Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5i 14" / i5 10th Gen (Link : www.lenovo.com/in/en/laptops/ideapad/s-series/IdeaPad-5i-14IIL05/p/88IPS501390). So, what are the upgradability options available in this laptop. Does it has the 2.5" SATA drive slot. As in the Lenovo website no such data about upgradability options available. Is the Type-C port is a Thunderbolt port. Can You please kindly inform me.
yeah that is one of only two contra points of this laptop: soldered ram and no RJ45 so you will be restricted to wifi (or ethernet through usb). But the rest is (and looks) amazing and affordable too. Immediately after unboxing I pushed win10 to the start of the nvme ssd and installed Linux Mint on the second half - works like a charm in dual boot. Lights in the keyboard are fine under linux. hdmi to 1080p beamer wonderful. Etc etc
TL;DR there is a spot for the drive, but you have to buy a laptop hard drive cable to install it I just took this type of laptop apart. mine had the smaller battery and a hard drive bay. It did not have a sata cable for the bay, but the motherboard has a slot for a cable. If you want to add a hard drive, you'll have to also buy the required cable. The SSD is also upgradable and it measures 80mm from around where the connecter is and the last mounting screw. You should be able to install a 2280 form factor drive in place of the current smaller form factor m.2 drive that is shown in the video.
@@sullidav I just checked the pictures I took and it looks like there is slot on the motherboard that I missed. So I guess you could buy a cable online along with the required drive. I'll update my comment. Thanks for replying!
It will depends of the battery installed: if it's the 70Wh you can't add a HDD because it doesn't has a 2.5" drive slot, only if it comes with the 45Wh or 57Wh battery.
For some reason two of the screws holding down the copper plate are different sizes from the other one. I couldn't get the two to unscrew, tried both philips 0 and 00 :/
If you'd have held the WiFi card out for even a second of non-blurred motion, viewers could have seen the one-notch or two- configuration. That snapshot of it inserted makes it look like there's an "E" for designation.
@@nutcracke16 Don't think so bc with the smaller battery options it comes with an extra 2.5" SATA drive slot. You should be able to get up to 11 hours of battery life with yours I read.
you would need a smaller battery to fit a 2.5" drive solid or mechanical. and also you will need the case and the flex connector. you may get all this in amazon / aliexpress
Can you actually attach an NVME m.2 ssd to the port where the ethernet card is? I want to upgrade my tiny SSD that came with the laptop, but I have to clone the data first to the new SSD. Would that port where the WIFI 6 card is attached find my new SSD and allow cloning? 🧐I seriously don't want to spend extra 30 UK pounds just to buy an external USB to m.2 adapter and use it once... especially where the prices of those adapters are almost 50% of the SSD I'm looking to get...
I have the AMD version with the 57wh battery, which has room for the sata drive. My question is where do i plug in the secondary drive if i buy one? I don't see a slot to install a secondary drive of any kind. I see holding bay for the sata drive but not sure where it would be plugged into on the motherboard.
On my version (Intel I7 with 57wh battery) there's a slot but you need to buy a SATA cable. This one on Amazon for $9 worked. Suyitai Replacement for Lenovo Ideapad 5 15 ARE05 5C10S30033 GS557 S550-15IIL NBX0001S200. I successfully added a 2.5" 1TB SSD to the 0.5TB SSD already there.
The laptop's hinge of mine broke within 4 months of normal usage, I really dont recommend buying this (i bought this in 2021, not sure whether its fixed or not)
I have mine 15 months now and am tempted to open it and blow any dust away. The fan looks pretty confined - has anyone done a dust cleaning? Is it inadvisable to undo the fan unit to do a thorough job?

You can upgrade the storage by taking out the m2 out and putting bigger disk in. And there are some models of this laptop that have smaller battery and by that I mean that you have room for 2.5'' ssd or hdd
@@ahmadshafique2018 This is not important. But I just wonder A well-made laptop uses a double-layered iron plate on top to prevent a charge or data terminal from breaking down. Idea Pad 5 14 inches seems to have it applied, but 15 inches does not seem to have it applied, so I asked the question.
It is made to handle an UNCOOLED m.2 2280 SSD. Any capacity. The Samsung Q is up to 8tb now, and partition that out to a small C: partition for the OS and progrmas, then have a relatively hefty storage/USER partition.
