The new Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5 14 is a 14-inch laptop with a fast AMD Zen4 processor and a high-res 120 Hz 2.8K OLED screen. In addition, it features 32 GB RAM and USB 4.0 for a comparatively low price.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-IdeaPad-Pro-5-14AHP9-laptop-review-The-powerful-ultraportable-with-Ryzen-8000-and-120-Hz-OLED.815456.0.html
Hi, Thank you for the review, they are great as always. I'm thinking in buying this laptop, but I have a question. Despite it comes with a 2242 SSD, do you think is it possible to install a full length SSD (2280)? I see there is a thread more or less at the correct distance, but there is also that black connector in the way... Thanks and keep up with the excellent work!
Why did the Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Ultra get 94% for its battery and this one 90%, when it is only 40 minutes shorter in video playback (but still a whopping seventeen hours) but promptly destroys the Samsung in everything else?

Maybe because Book4 has more battery life even with a smaller capacity battery (76Wh vs 84Wh)?
So this is basically a perfect device 😳 Of course it isn't as nothing is perfect but for the €/value there is nothing close to it. Is there anything else to beat this at any point in this price range of 950€ (!!), hm? Of course not. Great screen (high PWM too, instead of the usual 60 Hz in cheap laptops with OLEDs), 32 GB RAM, strong specs, not getting hot at all, not really getting too loud either, great battery life, great port selection too and very decent input devices.
Sure you can get laptops for the same price (or cheaper) with better CPU but worse everything else. With great specs but trash screen. With all good but horrible battery life. With better screen but 8-16 GB RAM and loud fan(s). With... you name it. Here you get nothing the best of the best but certainly well-rounded in all regards for great cost. Wtf? How is this not 1650€ or so? Crazy. We need more of products like this!

10% smaller battery
8% worse web surfing
8% worse web surfing max brightness
4% better big buck bunny
30% worse full load
Is this really enough for 4 percentage points difference?
Anyway, as a consumer I don't care about battery capacity, I care about runtimes and weight, the Lenovo being better in average in the former while at the same time significantly better in the latter.
Unrelated to this: shame for the loud fans, could've been the perfect lower midrange laptop

Lenovo's own PSREF database says it has an m2.2280 slot, so the black connector shouldn't be in the way I think.

Unfortunately, 2280 ssds dont fit. The connector is in the way, I tried to fit one.

Could you show a photo with the removed SSD?
An unusual plastic mount, suddenly it can be used for 2280?
In the specifications section of the official Lenovo website, the 14APH9 model has a slot for 2280, it would be strange if they provided false information
Does it have auto mode lightning for Keyboard? I really hope Lenovo doesn't ditch the 6 speakers configuration of the Slim 7 Pro 2023
Wow it's the exact same as the xiaoxin 14 pro which is 750 usd in China.
750 ? I was able to see for 840 at minimum. Tell me where I can save 100$ ;)
Looks like incredible value! Would love to know if Linux plays nice with this hardware.
It looked VERY interesting until I realized that only 2242 SSDs can be used.
The smaller form factor will make any SSD upgrade (I would immediately have changed it to a 4 TB SSD) unnecessarily expensive.
