Verdict — Decent Convertible With A Great OLED Option
As a budget-oriented convertible, the 15-inch IdeaPad 5 2-in-1 fills that form factor gap between the smaller but more expensive Yoga 7 2-in-1 14 and larger Yoga 7 2-in-1 16. It lacks the visual luxuriousness of the Yoga alternatives, but it makes up for it with much cheaper starting prices and support for multiple internal SSDs and upgradeable RAM which most Yoga convertibles lack. 15-inch convertibles in this price segment are quite rare as well and so direct alternatives are slim.
Disadvantages of the model are the usual suspects when it comes to inexpensive convertibles. Namely, weight is heavier than expected while performance is decidedly mid-tier at best as higher-end CPU and GPU options are purposefully omitted. In fact, the new Ryzen AI 400 series is largely a rebrand of the Ryzen AI 300 series and so any performance boosts over last year's options are almost none to minimal. Battery life is also mediocre even on the base IPS configuration.
We nevertheless highly recommend considering the OLED upgrade over base IPS. Currently, the OLED option is only $70 more but it adds significant benefits including higher resolution, faster refresh rate, deeper colors, and a brighter screen for a very noticeable boost in user experience.
Pros
Cons
Price and Availability
Lenovo is now shipping the IdeaPad 5 2-in-1 15AGP11 as configured in this review for $800.
Launched just last month, the new IdeaPad 5a 2-in-1 15 (or IdeaPad 5 2-in-1 15AGP11) is Lenovo's latest entry-level convertible equipped with an AMD Ryzen AI 400 series Zen 5 processor. It is the first 15.3-inch Windows convertible from Lenovo to make it into our database.
Our test unit is a lower-end configuration with the Ryzen AI 5 430 CPU and 1200p IPS touchscreen for approximately $800. Higher-end configurations ship with the Ryzen AI 5 435, Ryzen AI 7 445, or 1600p OLED instead.
Competitors to the IdeaPad 5 2-in-1 15 include other budget-oriented laptops like the Asus Vivobook 16, MSI Venture 16 AI, or HP 250 G9. Note that 15.3-inch convertibles are relatively uncommon which makes this particular Lenovo model a standout.

Specifications
Case
The chassis consists of aluminum on the top and ABS-GF or glass-fiber-reinforced plastic for the bottom for solid first impressions considering the entry-level price. However, the unibody color is visually dull and the base flexes a bit more easily when compared to a higher-end Yoga Pro or Yoga 7 alternative.
Connectivity
While port options are varied, their positioning is a mixed bag. All ports are crammed quite close to one another and there are no USB-C ports along the right edge which limits charging and display-out to the left edge only.

Sustainability
Lenovo does not explicitly list any recycled materials used during manufacturing. Furthermore, the packaging itself includes plastic wrapping and so it is not fully paper and cardboard.
Input Devices
Display
Two display options are available:
- 1920 x 1200, IPS, 400 nits, 45% NTSC, 60 Hz
- 2560 x 1600, OLED, 500 nits (1100 nits HDR), 100% DCI-P3, 165 Hz
The OLED option is a significant upgrade in almost all aspects with its denser resolution, HDR support, deeper colors, and faster refresh rate for a much smoother user experience. In fact, it's arguably overkill for a budget convertible. Otherwise, the base 1200p IPS option suffers from a narrow color range but has a surprisingly good contrast ratio to slightly make up for the shortcoming.

Performance
Testing Conditions
We set Windows to Performance mode prior to running the benchmarks below.
Processor
Raw CPU performance is essentially identical to the outgoing Ryzen AI 5 330 and so this year's quad-core Ryzen AI 5 430 doesn't bring anything significant to the table. Upgrading to the hexa-core Ryzen AI 5 435 or Ryzen AI 7 445 is expected to improve multi-thread performance by 15 to 45 percent based on our time with Lenovo Yoga Slim 7a 14.

GPU Performance
The Radeon 840M is the only GPU option available for the model. As a lower-end integrated solution, overall performance is most comparable to the common but now generations old Intel Iris Xe 96 EUs. Modern games do not run well on this machine unless if on the bare minimum settings and resolution and some may even experience crashes including F1 24.
Running on Balanced mode or battery power unfortunately reduces graphics performance as shown by our Fire Strike results table below.

Emissions
System Noise
The internal fan does a decent job at remaining quiet for long periods before needing to ramp up. When running 3DMark 06, for example, fan noise would reach just under 33 dB(A) compared to over 40 dB(A) on the IdeaPad Slim 3 15IRH10R or HP 250 G9. It's not until more stressful loads like games are introduced that the fan becomes more audible at over 40 dB(A).

Temperature
The left half of the chassis will always be warmer than the right where hot spots can reach over 40 C when running demanding loads for long periods. While the temperature difference can be noticeable, we never found the surfaces to be uncomfortably warm during use.
(±) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 41.6 °C / 107 F, compared to the average of 35.4 °C / 96 F, ranging from 19.6 to 60 °C for the class Convertible.
(±) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 43.2 °C / 110 F, compared to the average of 36.8 °C / 98 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 24.8 °C / 77 F, compared to the device average of 30.3 °C / 87 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 26.8 °C / 80.2 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(±) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 27.9 °C / 82.2 F (+1.1 °C / 2 F).

Stress Test
The processor would stabilize at 3 GHz, 30 W, and 58 C when running Prime95 stress. CPU package power may reach as high as 47 W only during the start of the test as shown by the screenshots below. Core temperatures when running demanding loads are cooler than what we recorded on the Intel-powered IdeaPad Slim 3 15IRH10R by about 10 C to 15 C.
| Average CPU Clock (GHz) | GPU Clock (MHz) | Average CPU Temperature (°C) | |

Energy Management
Power Consumption
Consumption would be similar to the Intel-powered IdeaPad Slim 3 15IRH10R except when running games where our AMD system would draw at least a few watts more. The slightly higher consumption aligns with our faster integrated GPU performance when comparing the Radeon 840M to the Iris Xe 4-core.
The system can draw the entire 65 W output of the small (9 x 4.6 x 2.7 cm) USB-C AC adapter when the CPU is fully stressed, but this is only temporary as shown by the graph below.
