Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14ALC05 in review: Compact, powerful, enduring

Compact powerhouse. Lenovo's 14-inch laptop offers a powerful APU, space for two NVMe SSDs, and very good battery runtimes. The RAM (16 GB, dual-channel mode) cannot be expanded.
AMD Laptop Lucienne (Zen 2) Windows

Lenovo's new Ideapad 5 14ALC05 is a 14-inch subnotebook powered by a Ryzen-5-5500U-APU. The competitors include devices like the Honor MagicBook 14 and the Acer Swift 3 SF314-42. The Schenker VIA 14 and the HP ProBook 440 G8 are also alternatives, but they are more expensive than the IdeaPad.

Since we have already tested a sister model with the same build, we will not go into further detail about the case, the ports, the input devices, or the speakers. That information can be found in the review of the Lenovo Ideapad 5 14ARE05.

Display - IPS with poor color space coverage

Subpixel array
Subpixel array

The 14-inch FHD (1920x1080) screen has stable viewing angles thanks to its matte finish. While the display offers good brightness (314.7 cd/m2), the contrast ratio (785:1) is too low. The display has decent color accuracy, but the AdobeRGB and sRGB color spaces are not fully covered (36% and 56% coverage, respectively).

This is the same panel that is also used in the identically built IdeaPad 5 14ARE05. Nevertheless, the measured values differ slightly (this is normal). Two identical displays are never one hundred percent identical.

In contrast to the screen of the sister model, the screen of our review device shows flickering at a frequency of 29,800 Hz at all brightness levels - an indication of brightness regulation via PWM.

Display Response Times

ℹ
Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
   ↔    Response Time Black to White
28 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 15 ms rise
↘ 13 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 67 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21.5 ms).

This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (33.8 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ
To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 29800 Hz

The display backlight flickers at 29800 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) .

The frequency of 29800 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17933 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Performance - hexacore power

Lenovo's Ideapad 5 14ALC05 is a 14-inch notebook that offers more than enough computing power for office and Internet applications.

Test conditions

The notebook offers three energy profiles: "Smart Cooling," "High Performance," and "Battery Saving Mode." Users can switch between the profiles via the key combination "Fn" + "Q" or via the preinstalled Lenovo Vantage software. We performed our tests with the "Smart Cooling" mode active. Additionally, we ran some benchmarks with the "High Performance" mode active. The results are in the comparison tables.

Processor

The CPU component of the Ryzen-5-5500U-APU (Lucienne) consists of a six-core processor with a base speed of 2.1 GHz. The CPU can boost up to 4 GHz. Simultaneous multithreading (two threads per core) is supported.

During Cinebench R15's multi-core benchmark, the CPU runs at 3.8 GHz for a short time before dropping to 3.6 GHz. The CPU lands between 1.7 and 4 GHz during the single-core test. In battery mode, the CPU runs at 3.5 GHz and 1.4-3.4 GHz during the multi- and single-core tests, respectively.

The results in the single-core benchmarks are almost on par with those of the Ryzen-5-4500U APU installed in last year's Ideapad 5. This is not surprising since both APUs are based on the Zen 2 architecture (Zen 3 is only used in the Ryzen-5-5600U APU) and both have a maximum clock of 4 GHz. However, the 5500U APU pulls ahead in terms of multi-threaded performance since it supports simultaneous multithreading (the 4500U does not).

We test how long the CPU can boost by running the Cinebench R15 multi-core test in a loop. After about 2 minutes, the Turbo clock drops to just above 3 GHz. The CPU boost is noticeable in the "Smart Cooling" mode. The "High Performance" profile results in a marginal increase in performance at best.

System performance

The nimble and smooth system delivers good PCMark results. The Ryzen APU has more than enough computing power for office and Internet applications. Beyond that, it can handle computer games to a limited extent. The RAM (16 GB, DDR4-3200, soldered) runs in dual-channel mode. Expanding the memory is not possible.

To check whether frame rates remain constant over a longer period, we run the game The Witcher 3 for about 60 minutes at Full HD resolution and maximum settings. Geralt (the player's character) is not moved. A drop in frame rates is not noticed.

Noise emissions

System noise is within limits. While idle and during low load, the fan often stays off, and silence reigns. Under load, it does not rev up excessively. We measure a maximum sound pressure level of 40.8 dB(A).

Temperature

Stress test
Stress test

Our stress test (Prime95 and Furmark run for at least one hour) sees the CPU and GPU run at 2.9 GHz and 600-1000 MHz, respectively. The stress test is an extreme scenario that does not occur in everyday use. We use this test to check if the system runs stably even when under full load.

The 14-incher does not heat up excessively. We recorded temperatures just above 40 degrees Celsius at four measuring points during the stress test. The rates are within the green zone for everyday use.

Verdict

The Lenovo Ideapad 5 14ALC05 (82LM005YGE), provided by:
The Lenovo Ideapad 5 14ALC05 (82LM005YGE), provided by:

A weight of approximately. 1.4 kg and practical battery life of 11-13 hours make the IdeaPad a highly mobile notebook. The power supply uses USB-C to charge the machine. Unfortunately, Lenovo has only equipped the notebook with one USB-C port. Since this also serves as a second video output, a second USB-C port would have been useful.

Despite the high computing power, the Lenovo Ideapad 5 14ALC05 has good battery life.

The Ryzen-5-5500U-APU, 16 GB of RAM (dual-channel, soldered), and a 512 GB NVMe SSD also equip the computer for applications beyond office and Internet. The integrated graphics core enables gaming to a limited extent. If storage space runs out, a second NVMe SSD can be installed.

The screen (FHD, IPS) is not one of the notebook's strengths. It scores with stable viewing angles, a matte surface, decent color reproduction, and good brightness. Contrast and color space coverage are not convincing. The backlit keyboard leaves a good impression.

Price and availability

The IdeaPad is available in the configuration variant 82LM0060GE (Ryzen 5 5500U, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, Windows 10 Home) for 699 Euros (~$699) at Notebooksbilliger.de. The reviewed configuration is currently only available as B-goods at NBB. Cyberport.de has the configuration 82LM006YGE (Ryzen 5 5500U, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, Windows 10 Home) for 599 Euros.
