Reviews for the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14AHP9
Source: Laptop Mag
The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 2-in-1 offers solid performance at an affordable price but compromises on battery life and display quality. Some users won’t mind those trade-offs, but they’re important to note especially the sub-8-hour battery life. Considering it costs less than $1000, the IdeaPad 5 2-in-1 delivers surprisingly strong performance, even in gaming. It might not be competing with a true gaming laptop, but it can manage casual gaming well. It keeps up with everyday tasks like web browsing and word processing with ease. This combination of low price and relatively high performance makes the IdeaPad 5 2-in-1 a good option for students or professionals on a budget. The IdeaPad 5 2-in-1 isn’t perfect, though. You will need to keep a charger handy, and the lackluster display leaves something to be desired.

The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 2-in-1 (14″) is a good alternative to the more expensive Yoga 7 devices. The build quality remains pretty good as well as the comfort under full loads. Yes, the fan isn’t too noisy and the keyboard isn’t hot to the touch. Speaking of which, the board is suitable for long hours of typing and the touchpad will do the job for normal usage. The 14″ 16:10 IPS Touch display LEN140WUXGA (LEN9125) is appropriate for work or home tasks because the panel is PWM-free and it has good viewing angles. The color coverage is low and if you want to use the laptop for content creation, the optional OLED display is a better choice.

AMD Radeon 760M: Integrated graphics card in the Ryzen 7040 mobile series APUs based on the RDNA3 architecture with 8 of the 12 CUs (= 512 shaders) and a clock speed of up to 2.8 GHz.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.
70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
