Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15IIL05 Review: Good performance and a long battery life - thanks to the 70-Wh battery

Lenovo has created a real all-rounder: the 15.6-inch IdeaPad 5 15IIL05. The test unit we were provided with is equipped with a Core i5-1035G1 and a GeForce MX350. More affordable models are available with a GeForce MX330. Some of the IdeaPad's competitors are the Acer Aspire 5 A515-54G, the HP Pavilion 15 and the Schenker VIA 15. Due to the fairly powerful GPU, this laptop is a viable alternative for entry-level gamers such as the HP Pavilion Gaming 15.

Case - stability issues
Lenovo has chosen to coat the IdeaPad in a mixture of materials. The back of the display lid is made of aluminum while the remaining components are made of plastic. The entire case is dark gray (Graphite Gray). Both the bottom of the base unit and the back of the display have smooth surfaces, while the top of the base unit is slightly rubberized. The battery is built in and the device does not offer a maintenance hatch.
The workmanship of the notebook is very good. The gap dimensions are regular and we did not notice any overhanging material. Unfortunately, the device is not quite as sturdy as we would have hoped. The base unit can be compressed on the right and left side of the keyboard without a lot of pressure. Both the lid and the base unit can be warped considerably. The device should be a little more stable. Pressure on the back of the display does not cause the image to change. The hinges are tight and keep the lid in position but still enable users to open the device with one hand.

The IdeaPad is the most compact in our comparison field. Together with the Acer Aspire 5, it is also the lightest device.
Connectivity - IdeaPad 5 with Type-C-USB
The port selection is limited but covers the most basic requirements. The two USB Type A ports support the USB 3.2 Gen 1 standard, while the USB Type C port (USB 3.2 Gen 2) supports both DisplayPort via USB C and Power Delivery (which means the notebook can be recharged via this port). Together with the HDMI connector this means that the IdeaPad has a total of two video outputs. The ports are positioned towards the back on the left and right side. This means that the area around the wrist rests remains free from cables.
SD Card Reader
The SD card reader does not accommodate the entire SD card, which stands out by about 17 mm (~0.67 in). The model in our device is one of the slower versions. It reaches a maximum transfer rate of 31.9 MB/s when copying larger blocks of data. The transfer of 250 JPG files (each 5 MB) is completed with a speed of 20.8 MB/s. We test all storage card readers with our reference card (Toshiba Exceria Pro SDXC 64 GB UHS-II).

Communication
The Wi-Fi module (Wi-Fi 6 AX201) from Intel supports not only the Wi-Fi standards 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, but also the ax standard and Bluetooth 5. The transfer rates measured during our test under ideal conditions (no other Wi-Fi devices in the vicinity, short distance between notebook and server PC) were very good.

Webcam
The included webcam (0.9 MP) has a maximum resolution of 1280x720 pixels. The results are rather washed out and the color accuracy is fairly disappointing as well with a Delta E deviation of 25 instead of the ideal maximum of 3.




Accessories
Apart from the usual documentation (warranty information, quick start guide), the notebook comes without accessories.

Input Devices - keyboard backlighting for the Lenovo
Keyboard
The IdeaPad is equipped with a backlit chicklet keyboard. The flat keys have a short travel and a very clear pressure point. We appreciate the crisp actuation force. The keyboard gives way minimally while typing, but this isn't particularly bothersome. The backlighting (two levels) can be controlled via a function key. Overall, the Lenovo has provided users with a keyboard that is suitable for everyday use and regular typing.

Performance - Lenovo laptop has gaming potential
Lenovo has created a real all-rounder with its 15.6-inch IdeaPad 5 15IIL05. The device provides sufficient performance for office and internet applications. It can also display most games in our database smoothly. Our test unit is available for around $800. Other configurations are available.
Testing conditions
The preinstalled Lenovo Vantage software enables users to adjust the available computing power and the fan activity. There are three modes available: intelligent cooling, high performance and battery saver. We performed all benchmarks in high performance mode.
In order to get a good idea of the difference these settings make, we also ran some benchmarks in all modes, in which case we mention these results explicitly.
Processor
The IdeaPad is powered by the quad-core processor Core i5-1035G1 (Ice Lake). This is a ULV model with a TDP of 15 Watt. The CPU clocks at a base rate of 1 GHz. This clock rate can be increased to 3.2 GHz (all four cores), 3.5 GHz (two cores) and 3.6 GHz (one core). The chip supports hyperthreading (working two threads per core).
The CineBench CPU benchmarks are completed at 3.3 GHz (multi thread) and 3.3 - 3.6 GHz (single thread). The clock rates drop to 2.1 - 2.3 GHz (multi thread) and 2.4 - 3.6 GHz (single thread) when running on battery.
To find out whether the CPU turbo is available for a prolonged period on mains, we run the multi thread Cinebench R15 benchmark in a loop for at least 30 minutes. The results drop minimally between the first and the second round and then remain constant, which means that the turbo is used.
The performance modes that can be set within the Lenovo Vantage software have a significant impact on multi thread performance. The results of the CB15 loop differ greatly from mode to mode. We did not notice any differences during single thread performance.

GPU Performance
The dedicated GeForce MX350 is based on the same chip as Nivida's GeForce GTX-1050. However, its interface has been reduced from 128 Bit to 64 Bit. The GPU supports DirectX 12 and clocks at a base rate of 1354 MHz. This can be boosted to up to 1468 MHz. Provided the GPU does not reach a certain temperature or energy limit, it can reach even higher speeds. We actually measured a maximum clock rate of 1601 MHz. The Witcher 3 test was completed with an average speed of 1589 MHz. The GPU can make use of fast GDDR5 storage (2048 MB).
The results of the various 3DMark benchmarks are as expected for this GPU. The MX350 does a lot better than its predecessor, the GeForce MX250, but cannot keep up with the GTX 1050 GPU. The integrated Intel GPU UHD-Graphics-G1 is active and the notebook uses Nvidia Optimus to switch between the two. If necessary, the GeForce can be deactivated in the BIOS.
The performance modes of the Lenovo Vantage software have an influence on the graphics performance. While the 3DMark results in high performance and intelligent cooling are very similar, the graphics performance drops significantly in the battery saver mode.

To find out whether the refresh rates remain the same over a long period, we ran the game "The Witcher 3" for around 60 minutes in Full-HD resolution and maximum quality settings. The character played by the player did not move throughout the test. We did not observe a drop in frame rates. The GPU continued to work at full strength.
