The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 with AMD Ryzen 5 CPU is one of the best laptops you can get for the price.
This base model on sale packs a 14-inch, 1080p display, an AMD Ryzen 5 4500U CPU, 8GB of RAM, AMD Radeon graphics, and 256GB of SSD storage. Integrated into its design, are two user-facing Dolby Audio speakers and a webcam privacy shutter and fingerprint reader for security. Although we didn’t review the IdeaPad 5, for a budget laptop, it’s pretty big on performance. In fact, its AMD Ryzen 5 CPU puts most Intel Core i7 laptops to shame. As we reported, the Ryzen 5 CPU’s multi-core Geekbench 5 performance test score of 4,744 smoked Intel’s Comet Lake-U chip. More importantly, the Ryzen 5 chip maintained a consistent clock speed of 3.9-GHz during tests. At 3.7 pounds and 14.0 x 9.2 x 0.78-inches, the IdeaPad 5 is lighter than, yet similar in size to the Dell XPS 15 (4.5 pounds, 14.1 x 9.3 x 0.5~0.7-inches). Port-wise, Lenovo equipped the IdeaPad 5 with two USB-A 3.1 ports, a USB-C port, and an HDMI port. There’s also an SD card reader and headphone/mic combo jack on board. Now just $544, the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 is a wise choice if you’re looking an affordable business laptop. Lenovo coupon expires August 2.
