Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 14 16:10 laptop review: The series keeps getting better

[Redaktion]

Lenovo's IdeaPad family has grown so confusingly large that it's been getting difficult to keep track of how the models are categorized. Even so, the family has its gems including the new IdeaPad 5 Pro 14 which could have easily passed as a Yoga if not for a couple of caveats.

Are you certain the USB-C ports do not support DP out? The Lenovo PSREF states that the IdeaPad 5 Pro 14ACN6 "Supports up to 4 independent displays via native display and 3 external monitors" and that the USB-C ports are "2x USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 (support data transfer, Power Delivery 3.0 and DisplayPort™ 1.4)"

I own this laptop and it supports Displayport on both USB-C ports. It has some glitches from time to time on recognising the monitor and blanking of some parts of the screen, improved with the new bios

Not all laptops come with a 2k display some come with a so called 2.8k display 2880*1800

I can vouch for this. I own the laptop and it does support DP out on both USB-C ports.

Appears a nearly ideal laptop, but... does it have any coil whine issue?

owned it for a week and can say it's a great laptop. No coil whine, fan is pretty much silent and not displeasing when turned on.

Got 72002 score on browser benchmark Octane 2.0, and it's high, very damn high.

RAM tunnig is awful for LPDDR4 5033 dual channel (128 bit mode)... only ~50% from normal throughput...

CPU performance is GOOD especially for minimal noise level under average load (40W+).

But working in photoshop and similar tasks that are extremely demanding on memory speed - everything will be very bad there, which is shown by the AIDA64 test - CPU PhotoWorxx ... shameful 14481 MPixel / s instead of the expected 35-40MP is normal...

How did Lenovo engineers manage to make such a slow dual-channel memory in bios? I can't comprehend...
