Reviews for the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14ARE05

85% Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14ARE review (AMD Rzyen 5 4500U) – the almost perfect budget notebook
Source: Ultrabook Review
For the most part, this Lenovo IdeaPad 5 feels and performs like a much more expensive product. It's a very quick little laptop, and also quiet and comfortable with daily use. It’s also well made, with the exception of that sensible metal lid, types well, and includes the IO and the battery life that I'd need while on the go. However, having used it for the last few weeks, I decided a 54% sRGB screen won't do for me and I'd rather pay extra for a better-quality panel. My entire experience with this notebook is documented down below.
