Product Information

In Geekbench 5 it falls behind the the LG Gram 16 and the Huawei Matebook D16, which use the Core i7-1260P and Core i7-12700H respectively. All the same, you’ve got enough oomph to run demanding image-editing or video-editing apps. In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering.

Now, if you turn the laptop upside down, you will only see the rather big ventilation grill, while the hot air escapes from in between the lid and the base. Also on the bottom panel, there are a couple of cutouts for the speakers. It would be best to carry the 100W USB Type-C power adapter with you. On the other hand, it is a sufficiently big unit, which will fast charge your other PowerDelivery-enabled devices. Unsurprisingly, the IdeaPad 5 Pro (14″) looks and feels more classy than its non-Pro sibling. Its weight is low – 1.38-1.41 kg, while the profile goes from 16-18mm. In terms of its structural quality, we can’t say that it is top-notch, but we see little flex from both the lid and the base. Ultimately, they are made out of aluminum and give a cool touch feeling.We measured a maximum brightness of 479 nits in the middle of the screen and 450 nits as an average for the whole area, with a maximum deviation of 10%. The Correlated Color Temperature on a white screen is 6290K – slightly warmer than the optimal for the sRGB standard of 6500K. We are happy to report that the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14-inch feels snappy and handles multitasking very well. Working with 10-15 tabs open in Chrome at the same times proves to be no issue, even when editing spreadsheets at the same time. Still, we’ve included other color spaces like the famous DCI-P3 standard used by movie studios, as well as the digital UHD Rec.2020 standard. Rec.2020, however, is still a thing of the future and it’s difficult for today’s displays to cover that well. We’ve also included the so-called Michael Pointer gamut, or Pointer’s gamut, which represents the colors that naturally occur around us every day.

Thanks to its compact size and fairly lightweight design, the 14-inch device is also very portable and almost perfect as a companion for on-the-go use. Essentially, you can effortlessly edit photos on this little notebook. What will make it even easier for you, is the SD card reader on the right side. Furthermore, the laptop comes with a decent port selection, which includes an HDMI 2.0 connector, two USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) ports, two USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 1) ports with DisplayPort and Power Delivery, and more. The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro also has a squarer 16:10 aspect ratio, which is in keeping with other ultrabooks, and gives you a great space to work with newer apps and for web browsing, too. Performance Thankfully, the 97% sRGB color coverage is paired with an accurate color representation, mainly because of our Gaming and Web design profile. This lets you use the device for professional color-related work, which basically justifies the “Pro” moniker in the name. For a mainstream laptop, the Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro 16 has a surprisingly premium feel. Unlike cheaper Ideapads and Thinkbooks, it has a nearly all-metal construction that feels extremely robust, and the dark grey tone sits in well with the business-like pro styling.

There is just one problem – the charger uses USB-C, meaning that when you're charging you don’t have an available USB-C port. Charging over USB-C is a good thing, but in this case, we would rather have a traditional charging port — or even better — another USB-C port. When you take a device with you everywhere, it makes a good first impression. You can choose a color that best suits your style with numerous options. With a 360° hinge, the IdeaPad devices can be used as a laptop or tablet. Lenovo uses 360-degree steel-encased hinges, and this design allows the user to work in four different modes at one time. Take your laptop or tablet anywhere you want to, and use it however you like. That's in addition to two intermediate configurations that make the laptop's keyboard more discrete for greater convenience while performing video and touch screen-dependent tasks. In PCMark 10 we get a score of 4811, which is way more than the score Intel Core i7-1065G7 is listed with (3179), and the latter is a chip that is commonly used in laptops in the same price range as Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14”. There is really no doubt that you are getting a lot of performance for your money here. The optional digital pen support gives you a new way to record your thoughts and ideas while on the go. Get the most from your PC with the Lenovo Ideapad 5 Series laptops. It will keep up with you all day long with its long battery life of rapid charging, and low thermal design power (TDP) of 30W.
