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.

One thing I am a little confused with is whether the USB-c ports have PD or not. I'm getting conflicting info on the website & YT reviews. Maybe the intel versions have PD?
I THINK this page is correct. Arrived here by a Q&A link from a mod at the Lenovo website. Filter for US products will narrow it down to 2 offerings (both 16gb) for this model.

If I am not mistaken off a YT video, the used size is the smaller footprint and the open one is a dual size (2242/2280). Vid release 2months ago.

1) Plugging the laptop on while running a game while somewhat warm
2) Waking the laptop up while it was running a game on battery.
Maybe a dud of a laptop, and the blue screens have workarounds but not enough for me. It's a shame because it looks and feels like a great laptop.
UPDATE: Correction to my earlier comment: I dug into the Lenovo PSREF and this model actually lists the RTX 5050 at 105W TGP with 8GB GDDR7, which is much higher than the 35–65W configs people expect from thin laptops. So it's not the heavily power-limited version. Still not a full gaming chassis, but it's closer to a proper mid-tier configuration than I originally thought.
