The Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5 14″ Gen 9 (14AHP9) is a solid portable device. The keyboard and touchpad combo is spot on, especially in this price category. The comfort under max loads is good – the fans aren’t noisy and the keyboard barely gets warm. The 2.8K OLED 120Hz display (LEN140WQ+ (LEN8ABA)) is the main event. It offers full sRGB and DCI-P3 coverage, 405 cd/m² max brightness in SDR mode, and an infinite contrast ratio. The PWM usage seems the only downside of this screen but above 65 cd/m² the pulsations are with limited amplitude which makes the panel comfortable for long hours of work. The performance is on point. The Ryzen 7 8845HS can sustain around 4.00 GHz during max loads in “Performance” or “Auto” mode.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
