Supports up to 2 x M.2 SSD (2242/2280)
*what I think most of the problem is. People either blame the laptop for their misuse or over compensate the specs not realizing they are just countering the overhead of their own, again, misuse.
Community Reviews
This IdeaPad Pro 5 stands out as a thin 16 inch OLED laptop with an RTX 5050, strong build quality, and a premium feel for the price. The 2.8K 120Hz screen gets repeated praise, and the GPU plus 8GB of VRAM makes it appealing for light gaming and moderate workloads. Storage is more flexible than expected, with two M.2 slots and support for 2242 and 2280 drives. The main drawback is the soldered 16GB LPDDR5X memory, which limits upgrades and may feel tight for heavier multitasking. Battery life is also modest, and a few reports describe freezing or overheating under light gaming.
gamers who want to add storage later because the laptop supports two M.2 SSDs and commenters say the second slot is open and easy to access for an upgrade.
office workers who open multiple PDFs and run common apps (like Word, Firefox tabs, and Zoom) because they reported hitting only around ~90% of 16GB RAM with that kind of workload.
people buying an ultrabook-style laptop for everyday tasks and light gaming because commenters say 16GB is fine for normal office/school use and will be enough for years for typical workloads.
buyers who want a premium 2.8K OLED experience and don't mind that the RAM is soldered because one owner said the build quality feels very rigid and the 2.8K OLED screen is a standout at this price.
Windows users who expect to keep the laptop for many years without upgrading RAM because multiple commenters said the 16GB LPDDR5X is soldered and "kills" future upgradeability.
people who multitask heavily with lots of browser tabs and multiple logged-in accounts because one commenter said their Windows 16GB experience always shows 20GB+ RAM utilization when several accounts are signed in.
buyers who need a laptop that never freezes or blue-screens under normal use because at least one commenter reported the laptop freezing multiple times after ~10 hours of light browsing/non-demanding games and requiring hard shutdowns.
buyers who care about touch input on the OLED display because one commenter declined the deal specifically because the OLED is non-touch.

integrated graphics laptop with 16gb system memory and no vram and laptop with 16gb system memory and 8gm vram do not have the same amount of available memory for windows to work with. the vram laptop will have more. period.

no. windows can use vram to a limited extent and that does make a difference vs an integrated graphics laptop that has no vram and has to allocate some system memory for graphics.

Your second line is somewhat correct, but only when the GPU is actually in use, which for gaming, sure, but for standard Windows desktop use, nope, no benefit.
It's true that an iGPU will use a (small) amount of RAM for the display (and having a GPU can avoid that), the reality of the situation is that most of the time the laptop WILL use the iGPU - it's only when gaming or doing GPU tasks that the GPU is actually in use - and so the amount of RAM saved (that tiny amount - typically 250 MB or so) doesn't really matter.
And in no case do you add 8GB (the GPU's memory) to the Windows machine's memory. It just doesn't work that way.
Be sure to use code LENOVOLOVE2 in cart. the code is only good for 1 unit
Memory is soldered LPDDR5X.
