Lenovo Ideapad 5 (2024) Review - Think before you choose

[@user-mn1yu2wl5i]

Does it have fingerprint sensor?

[@rgbstone-gm984]

I have R5, 8GB, 512GB version. It's exactly a year old now. Solid for 450$ - Aluminum casing is durable. I dropped 1m high and only a small dent can be seen - Screen is okay, lacks color accuracy and has minor bleeding - Fingerprint is fast but sometimes doesn't recognize. Register new one with the upper part of index finger near nail will ensure consistency - Battery is the largest I could find in that price. 70% brightness with best efficency mode delivers 10+hrs of web browsing (From day one I remember 11hrs and still 15% left)

Nice review, thanks

[@davidalex2400]

are the hinges durable?

[@TechWatcher]

yes hinges will last, as long u care, they perform similar 2020-2024, but just in case be careful, there are rumors that metal density materials are getting "thinner" in the industry recession ...

[@sinewedbastion]

Did you buy an extra add-on for the keyboard backlight? Or, did it come default with backlit keyboard?

[@TechWatcher]

its orginal out of the box backlit keyboard

[@hiwor4242]

Is lenovo IdeaPad slim 5 RYZEN 5 7730U a good laptop for study purpose? I want a budget laptop.

[@TechWatcher]

okay its well built and it will last.... as long you dont put to much pressure on the hinges and make sure you at least monthly discharge and recharge battery... also check out 7840HS version

[@muhammadshaffkhilji1574]

​@@TechWatcherwhere can I find that

[@Patiyes]

Does the 2k display still have touchscreen?

[@greenhazee]

Best for its price? Intel Core i7-13620H 16 GB RAM (5200 GHz) SSD 512 GB 714 USD Usage: programming, structural analysis, modeling software and productivity

[@TechWatcher]

its fast enough also check out Ryzen 7 7840HS version if you care about battery performance

[@ParhamHatami-thisis]

Thank you for video , and .... Lenovo ideapad 5 , Core i5 is better than this... yes?

[@TechWatcher]

it depends what apps you use, but intel legacy apps list is longer vs amd, but still best to compare app ryzen intel benchmark before buy

[@ParhamHatami-thisis]

@@TechWatcher thanks ❤

[@user-mn1yu2wl5i]

I want to buy Lenovo ideapad slim 5i 14 inch i7-13620H OLED is it good and does it has a fingerprint sensor? Or do you suggest other one there is hp pavilion 15 i7 intel 16ram on the other hand i just dont know which one to pick ill really appreciate it if u can help me choose one ^^

[@TechWatcher]

lenovo has built in fingerprint in power key, there are also versions without fingerprint sensor, i prefer lenovo, because it has better security design, especially if specs and price similar. they have weak point in graphics, so if you dont need editing or playing games it will be okay, but otherwise go with ips screen and gtx graphics.

[@josephmurathi8512]

Does it have fan noise?

[@TechWatcher]

yes there is some noise, but its usually noticeable only when you playing high quality games or more demanding tasks when u compress or export videos...

[@user-xb4yu5cn9x]

2048 X 1280 This is the screen resolution in the device I want to buy, how much will it be from 100%?

[@TechWatcher]

1920X1080

[@gojosatoru1845]

Ideapad with ryzen 5 8845hs for $780 or Ideapad with ultra 5 125H for $900? which is better deal bro?

[@gojosatoru1845]

8840HS*

[@TechWatcher]

in terms of rough performance ryzen easly wins, but intel is still slightly cooler

[@gojosatoru1845]

@@TechWatcher is Ultra 125h worth going extra $120? Im not heavygamer, i want to use laptop for day to day task and Im a linux user. Currently i have lenovo g500 i3 3rd gen its been 9 years + for this laptop and it its still running good on linux. thats why im going for lenovo's reliability. Im from india and $120 alone is a big money for me. Should i buy the Ryzen instead? what about Ryzen 5 8840 hs thermal and battery performance? and its 4nm by TSMC.

[@TechWatcher]

@@gojosatoru1845 it should be okay, 8840 is energy more efficient and still powerful cpu.

[@gojosatoru1845]

@@TechWatcher thank you bro I'll go for Ryzen 5 8840hs.

[@AunerRaymundo]

Que generación de ryzen 7 tiene?

[@TechWatcher]

Es 5825U, tiene excelente precio y potencia en comparación con 6800U.

[@AunerRaymundo]

Yo me acabo de comprar una Lenovo Ideapad 5 con 512 de almacenamiento y 16 de ram con el ryzen 7 5700u es una buena compra la que hice para este año 2024 usted que opina

[@fastjohny8575]

ideapad with Ryzen 8845 or IdeaPad Slim 5i Intel 7 150U?

[@TechWatcher]

Ryzen 8845 has faster memory, but core 7 is not far behind and its a better in terms of battery power ratio.

[@abhishekchandrappa5384]

⁠@@TechWatcherbut intel consumes more or less same power for lesser performance isn’t it ? Forget Intel 7 150 U even the 155H is no match to ryzen 7 8th gen processors.

[@893theartist7]

how's the battery?

[@anw712]

after a year using its like 2 hours max unplugged

[@TechWatcher]

it depends what energy profile, ram version and settings u have, 15aba7 ryzen in comparison with IdeaPad 15IAL7 intel version is average 5 to 7 hours, but if you go to extreme "eco" screen bright 65%, it could play offline movies more than 8 hours. for longer battery life, unplug power cable at least once per month and recharge battery after 75%.
