You could see the Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro 16 as a jack of all trades and master of none, but it’s smarter to look at it as a capable, high-value option that does just about everything well. I’m excited to see what Lenovo can do with more processing power, and potentially a faster GPU, but right now this is still a good laptop for the money, especially if you’re buying for business, family or study, but might fancy the odd game or two.

It’s tricky to pick the best-value option: while some of Lenovo’s rivals serve up faster CPUs and the RTX 3060 graphics core at similar prices, they’re often heavier, thicker and weaker than the IdeaPad. Indeed, the IdeaPad takes a different approach by delivering a chassis that’s slimmer, lighter and more mature than most of its contemporaries. It’s robust, it has decent connectivity, and its large display delivers superb quality. It’s quiet, too, and has decent battery life outside of games. It’s not all good news, though. The processor offers mid-range pace, but nothing more, and the graphics core can’t run top games at top settings. The keyboard is soft and the speakers aren’t great. Don’t write off the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro, though, it’s skills just lie in different areas than others and makes a better choice for those that want a more portable device that’s also nicely suited to work as well as play.

Archive.org versionBefore we start with the conclusion of this review, we want to say that Lenovo has once again made a logic-defying choice. It offers the IdeaPad 5 Pro (16″) with a 135W charging brick at best. At first glance, there is no issue with that. The laptop runs smoothly, and provides a decent performance output, although not fulfilling the potential of the Ryzen 7 5800H. However, if you plug your charger in, and you have anything less than 99% of juice in your battery, you won’t be able to max out your laptop. All in all, this laptop is pretty decent for what it is. You shouldn’t expect to get the full performance out of the processor, as the cooling can’t cope with it, and you should definitely keep the charger shenanigans in mind. However, if you want something that looks good, runs fast, and will allow you to work with content or play your favorite game, the IdeaPad 5 Pro (16″) might be a viable choice.

16.00":
15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
