Reviews for the Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5 16IMH9
Source: Zdnet.com
Lenovo's IdeaPad Pro 5i has all the right hardware components to make it the premiere laptop for professionals and students. It has a strong CPU/GPU pairing, a 2K OLED display, and a decent keyboard, but its usual $900 price tag will place it on the higher end of the typical student's budget. Fortunately, it's currently 15% off at $747. If you're looking for a less expensive 16-inch laptop, Lenovo's V15 G2 is several hundred dollars cheaper, although you're trading in the impressive OLED screen for one that's much more low-key.

When we began searching for the best affordable 16-inch laptop for work, we ordered four models from Lenovo’s 5 Series because the differences weren’t clear initially. Now we found what we were looking for, with the last review of these four, the one for the Intel version of the Pro lineup, called 16IMH9.IdeaPad Pro 5i 16IMH9 looks just like Slim 5i 16IMH9 but it’s much more powerful in both CPU, GPU, and AI performance, even when comparing configurations with the same CPU and GPU. Moreover, Pro 5i is better equipped in terms of ports – again, they look the same, but here we have Thunderbolt 4, USB 3.2 Gen 2×2, and HDMI 2.1. Also, the screen is much more color-accurate, and you can order it with 2.5K IPS panel option as well.

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.
