Asa cum stiti, dupa seria IdeaPad 530, prezentata de noi in urma cu 2 ani, cei de la Lenovo au renuntat la terminologia alcatuita din 3 cifre (bine… cu exceptia seriei IdeaPad 340 lansata anul trecut). Astfel, acum exista seriile IdeaPad 1, 3 si 5, Yoga 7, Yoga Slim 7 s.a.m.d. Lenovo IdeaPad 5 continua practic linia de design introdusa odata cu seria 530, modelele echipate cu procesoare Intel Core U din cea de-a 10-a generatie (IdeaPad 5 14IIL05, respectiv IdeaPad 5 15IIL05) fiind deja disponibile pe piata.

Folosind aceeasi platforma (carcasa, tastatura, display), astazi se lanseaza modelele omoloage echipate cu procesoare AMD, mai precis Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14ARE si Lenovo IdeaPad 15ARE. Noi am primit la teste doua modele de 15″, echipate cu procesoare diferite (AMD Ryzen 5 4500U si AMD Ryzen 7 4700U). Pentru ca marea majoritate a componentelor sunt oricum aceleasi, am preferat sa ne concentram pe modelul echipat cu procesorul AMD Ryzen 5 4500U, IdeaPad fiind in primul rand o serie de notebook-uri care ofera un bun raport calitate / pret.

Asa cum v-am povestit deja, AMD Ryzen 5 4500U este un procesor low-voltage (15W TDP), echipat cu 6 nuclee si 6 fire de executie, capabil sa atinga o frecventa maxima de 4GHz. Similar, AMD Ryzen 7 4700U este un procesor cu un TDP de 15W, echipat cu 8 nuclee si 8 fire de executie, capabil sa atinga o frecventa de 4.1 GHz. AMD Ryzen 5 4500U este echipat cu o solutie grafica integrata alcatuita din 6 nuclee tactate la 1500 MHz, in timp ce AMD Ryzen 7 4700U este echipat cu o solutie grafica integrata echipata cu 7 nuclee, tactate la 1600 MHz.

Modelul testat de noi este dotat cu 16GB DDR4 3200, configurati in dual-channel, un SSD NVMe Toshiba BG4 de 256GB si un HDD 1TB Hitachi Travelstar 7K1000. Display-ul se bazeaza pe un panou TN cu o diagonala de 15″ si rezolutie Full HD, in timp ce sistemul de sunet stereo este alcatuit din doua difuzoare de 2W. Merita mentionat faptul ca exista 4 configuratii disponibile pentru display, mai precis 2 IPS-uri si 2 TN-uri.

La capitolul conectica avem de-a face cu o solutie wireless Realtek 8822CE WiFi 6 802.11AX + Bluetooth 5.1, 2 conectori USB 3.1 gen 2, 1 conector USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, 1 conector HDMI, un card reader si conectorul audio In/Out.

Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15ARE este echipat cu un acumulator bine dimensionat, acesta avand o capacitate de 4870 mAh (57 Wh), ceea ce ar trebui sa ne ofere o autonomie destul de buna, tinand cont de eforturile depuse de inginerii AMD in acest sens. Partea si mai buna este faptul ca modelul testat de noi ar trebui sa fie disponibil in magazinele din Romania pentru preturi incepand cu 2399 RON, in functie de configuratie.

    Hello, thank you for the explicit test , but could you confirm if it´is dual channel RAM or just single.The values of CPU Z screenshot are a bit confusing.

  2. Monstru Post author a scris pe:

    Hi,

    this one is dual-channel – there are single-channel and dual-channel versions available.

  3. moe a scris pe:

    Thank you ,
    i suppose the 16 gb version is dual and the 8 gb single , but both soldered .Is that right?

  4. Monstru Post author a scris pe:

    Yes, I think so

  5. Andrew a scris pe:

    Hi, would be cool if you could also review the speakers. Maybe even make a recording of how they sound with some decent mic, ideally stereo one. Did you listen to any music on them?
    Was the CPU throttling? Looks like it was? Then I wonder how much more cpu power could we squeeze by applying liquid metal.
    Thanks!

  6. Monstru Post author a scris pe:

    Hi Andrew, our tests are more performance oriented, so we usually do not test the speakers.

    Regarding throttling, AMD Renoir has TjMax set at 105 oC, so as long as the temperature doesn’t get there the CPU is not throttling.

    Alo

    Am o întrebare despre recenzia dvs. despre Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15.
    Cu versiunea RAM de 16 GB, puteți vedea pe imaginea CPU-Z de pe cardul „Memorie” că este „Dual Channel”.
    Dar pe cardul „SPD” puteți vedea că slotul nr. 1 este gol.
    Cum sunt posibile cele două lucruri în același timp?

    Multumesc

  8. Monstru Post author a scris pe:

    Memoria este lipita pe placa de baza, motiv pentru care CPU-Z nu poate citi SPD-ul. Fiind vorba despre chip-uri lipite pe placa de baza, nu despre slot-uri SO-DIMM, acestea sunt configurate in dual-channel din controller.

    CPU-Z este un simplu utilitar, nefiind infailibil, in special daca programatorul nu a avut acces la astfel de configuratii.

    Hello, i think you claim that the ssd is a toshiba bg4 m2 2230. I also think it is a toshiba bg4 but not of size m2 2230. It looks to be an earlier discontinued sample of bg4 with length m2 2242 and with no full hardware disk encryption (opal2.0) but only partial encryption (pyrite). Can you chexk again and confirm?

  10. Jona a scris pe:

    Dear Monstru,
    thank you for the great review. Can you tell your readers if with the IdeaPad 5 15 ARE, you can switch from 15 to 25 Watt in BIOS?

  11. Monstru Post author a scris pe:

    I have to check, but from what I know it is possible

  12. Jona a scris pe:

    Thanks for answering. It would be great if you can look into it again.
    By the way, your review has quite a huge fanbase at some German tech and shopping communities. The reason is the attractiveness of the new IdeaPad Ryzen 4000-lineup with cheap prices, and your review currently being the only one available on the internet. Your website stats should show a lot of traffic from Germany at the moment. ;-)

  13. Monstru Post author a scris pe:

    I’ve noticed…Germany and UK (they also have it there) :)

  14. Matt a scris pe:

    Hey, is the RAM upgradeable in the 8gb soldered model? It isn’t clear from the pics

  15. Dhia Bouassida a scris pe:

    hello, does anyone know if we can change the ssd or the ram in the 14″ intel version ? thank you

  16. Monstru Post author a scris pe:

    The RAM is not upgradeable – soldered only. But both 14″ and 15″ have have either M.2 2242 or 2280 option, so you can change the SSD.

  17. Jona a scris pe:

    Hello Monstru,
    any update on the question if you can switch from 15 to 25 Watt in the BIOS of the IdeaPad 5 15? Along with the official Lenovo tool “Lenovo Vantage” (which offers a “Performance Mode”), this could give a nice boost to the CPU/GPU.
    It would be really great if you have the time to look into it.

  18. Monstru Post author a scris pe:

    Hi Jona,

    sorry I didn’t get to look into this, but I have 10 x Z490 motherboards that need my attention until Apr 30, so I was a bit busy.

    One thing however, the Vantage version on S540 13ARE has the same 3 options that we can see in BIOS (Battery Saving, Intelligent Cooling and Extreme Performance). So if we can switch the TDP… that is it, there is no other extra option, other than setting the Windows Slider to Performance.

    Now, I see no reason for IdeaPad 5 to be different, but I will double check.

  19. Jona a scris pe:

    Hi Monstru,
    thanks for the response. I didn’t intend to stress you in any way, and it sounds like you’re busy with other things, too. It’s positive that it looks like one can regulate the TDP somewhat, either in BIOS or via Software. Should give a little performance boost at least. Best Regards to Romania, stay healthy! ;-)

  20. Monstru Post author a scris pe:

    Hi Jona,

    no, no, you did not stress me in any way, do not worry about it. I was just explaining why I can’t do it right now, that is all, no stress :)

  21. PJ a scris pe:

    Thank you for this review, the most complete and still straight forward I’ve ever read
    That achieved to convince me to buy that pc even though it was a little bit priecier than in Germany or in the UK. I think there are no competitors right now for that price range.

  22. Monstru Post author a scris pe:

    HI PJ,

    I am glad you like it. I think they are very nice machines for the price and the AMD CPU’s are amazing!

  23. Vlad a scris pe:

    Salutare,

    Este disponibil laptopul asta in Ro?

  24. Matthew Bell a scris pe:

    Hi do you know if this laptop will output to a 4K monitor at 60hz? I believe you can use Display Port 1.2 via the USB-C? Any idea? Thankyou so much great review

  25. Monstru Post author a scris pe:

    Vlad – momentan si-a facut aparitia in Germania si Marea Britanie, va ajunge cat de curand in in Romania.

    Matthew – I do not have any information regarding this at the moment.

  26. Andrew a scris pe:

    @Vlad
    According to specs, it can’t. You should look into Yoga Slim 7, it has better connectivity:
    supports external digital monitor via HDMI or USB Type-C;
    supports three independent displays;
    Max resolution: 4096×2160 @48-60Hz (HDMI); 5120×2880 @60Hz (Type-C)

    The only downsize of this Ideapad 5 14″ or 15″, AMD or Intel, is the display: no matter if TN(220 nits) or IPS (300 nits) it’s only 45% sRGB which means washout colours. If this is a stopper for you, go for Yoga Slim 7 which has 100% sRGB and more improvements but more expensive.
    Still Ideapad 5 is best value for money you can get especially the middle option 14ARE05 Ryzen 5 if you can find it on stock at around 600EUR – due to online school pandemic situation stocks for cheap laptops are evaporated and the prices are now 25% higher.
