Looking for an all-round laptop that can allow for some light gaming? Lenovo’s IdeaPad 5 Pro 2022 models are heavily discounted on eBay right now while supplies last. For only US$699.99, the model on sale offers excellent value as it comes equipped with the efficient Ryzen 5 6600HS APU coupled with 16 GB of LPDDR5-6400 RAM and an RTX 3050 dGPU as bonus.
Unlike other models on clearance, this one actually comes with a good screen. It features a 16-inch 16:10 IPS panel with 2560 x 1600 resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate and, according to our test, an excellent brightness of more than 400 cd/m² plus 100% sRGB color gamut.
The RAM is soldered, so it cannot be upgraded, but the storage side that comes with a 512 GB Samsung PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD that can be upgraded to a higher capacity. On the port side, the selection is quite generous given the slim profile of only 0.72 inches and includes 2x USB-A 3.1 Gen 1, 1x USB 2.0, 1x USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, HDMI 2.0b video out, audio jack and a full-size SD card reader.
