How we picked
How we picked: the pool for this page holds five current listings that state a weight of 1.59 kg, so all five appear here. We ordered them by how well their stated processor, memory and storage suit everyday and professional work. The IdeaPad Slim 3 is a configuration sold by a reseller, not by Lenovo directly. The TRHRO and EvoSpan listings state the same processor, memory and storage, so they are near-duplicates from two small brands; we kept both because the pool is small and explain how to choose. Processor facts come from Intel and Windows requirements from Microsoft. Prices on this page are live: each one is read from the store listing and shown with the time it was read. Nobody at wikilaptop.org has tested these units.
How to choose
What 1.59 kg means to carry
A stated 1.59 kg is about 3.5 lb. For the 15.6-inch and 15.3-inch picks that is light for the screen size; the 14.5-inch ThinkPad reaches the same figure in a smaller footprint as a mobile workstation. The charger adds weight on top of the stated figure.
Two classes at the same weight
Two picks are capable laptops with 32GB of memory, the ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 and the IdeaPad Slim 3. The other three are basic laptops with 8GB or 12GB of memory, 128GB or 256GB of storage and entry-level Pentium processors. Decide which class you need before comparing details.
Processor: check the exact model
Intel lists the Core Ultra 7 255H in the ThinkPad with 16 cores, 16 threads and 28W base power. The IdeaPad lists an AMD Ryzen 7 170, and two basic picks list an Intel Pentium Gold 6500Y. The Tuonoyee names only a dual-core Pentium at 2.10GHz, which is not enough to identify the chip; ask the seller for the model.
Memory, storage and Windows 11
Microsoft lists 4GB of memory and 64GB of storage as the Windows 11 minimum, and every pick here exceeds both. The basic picks with 128GB of storage will still fill up as updates and apps arrive, so plan on cloud or external storage. Two basic listings, the TRHRO and EvoSpan, do not state an operating system at all: confirm what is installed before you buy.
Resellers and small makers
The IdeaPad Slim 3 here is an upgraded configuration from a reseller, and three picks come from small brands (Tuonoyee, TRHRO and EvoSpan). Check the warranty length, who handles repairs, the keyboard layout and, for the reseller, whether Lenovo's own warranty still applies.
Questions
Is 1.59 kg a good weight for a 15.6-inch laptop?
Yes. At about 3.5 lb it is light for a 15.6-inch screen and comfortable to carry daily. Three of the five picks here have 15.6-inch screens, the IdeaPad has 15.3 inches and the ThinkPad 14.5 inches, all at the same stated weight. Remember that the charger adds to the total you carry.
What does a 38.5Wh battery mean for runtime?
It is the capacity the Tuonoyee listing states, and the only battery figure in this list. Runtime depends on the processor, screen and what you do, and the seller does not publish a runtime, so we do not estimate one. Compare it with other laptops' stated watt-hours rather than expecting a specific number of hours.
Is 128GB of storage enough?
For light use with cloud storage, it can work. Microsoft lists 64GB as the Windows 11 minimum, and updates and apps use much of the rest. Two picks here have 128GB. If you keep photos, videos or many apps locally, the ThinkPad with 512GB or the IdeaPad with 1TB are better fits.
Did you test these laptops?
No. Nobody at wikilaptop.org has used these units. We compared them from the specifications each listing states, checked against Intel, Lenovo and Microsoft documentation. We do not describe screen quality, keyboard feel, noise or battery runtime, because those claims need testing we have not done.
Why do prices on this page change?
Each price is read live from the store listing and shown with the time it was read. Prices move often, so we never write price comparisons into the text. Check the time next to each price and open the listing to confirm the configuration before you buy.
