My reason for returning it was that I was very frustrated at the battery life. I could not seemingly get it to go better than 3 hours on battery. It has no MUX switch (it really needs one) and there's no setting in Lenovo's software to disable it. To disable the GPU, you have to turn it off in BIOS and then you loose the HDMI port..... so I set it up for a return. Then, literally on the day I had to return it... I was using it extensively and the battery life wasn't getting better until I had let it get below 80% and all of a sudden the battery life started creeping up and up and up. Then it showed 5 hrs... then 7 hrs. But I was too concerned that it wasn't doing it the way I wanted it to, where I could shut down the GPU altogether. So I returned it.
It's not a perfect device. None are. Don't stress about the 16GB of RAM. Yes, 32GB would be better. You're not dying at 16GB, you're just not. Plus, that 5050, with 8GB of VRAM? That's a damn solid GPU for budget gaming. Let's not forget that this is $714 we're talking about. Plus, that 1800P screen.... yeah, that's one sharp screen. It's really nice. The negative of OLED is glare. That's it. Super bright, high quality.
Don't sleep on this deal if you think it covers your needs.
EDIT: BTW, that's a full powered 5050 too, not a cut rate unit and the cooling on this laptop is very good. It's never loud. The fans spin up of course, but it's pretty quiet.
Community Reviews
This Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5 stands out as a 16 inch OLED budget gaming laptop, with the 120 hertz 2.8K screen and full powered RTX 5050 drawing the strongest praise. The display is described as sharp, bright, and unusually good for the price, and the cooling is reported to stay quiet. The main tradeoffs are soldered 16GB RAM with no upgrade path, plus battery life concerns and no easy way to disable the GPU without affecting the HDMI port. It looks especially compelling if mobile gaming and the OLED panel matter more than future upgrades.
Common Questions (5)
Yes. The RTX 5050 with 8GB VRAM is described as solid for budget gaming, and the 16-inch 2.8K OLED screen is a major selling point at $714.35. It is especially attractive if you want a dedicated GPU and a high-quality display in one package.
No. The 16GB RAM is soldered and non-replaceable, so you cannot expand it later. That makes it a potential deal-breaker if you want a machine that can grow with heavier gaming or multitasking needs.
It is very similar to a prior Woot deal, but that one reportedly had a Ryzen AI 7 350 and a 1TB SSD instead of the Ryzen AI 5 340 and 512GB SSD here. A previous new Woot listing was also around $780, suggesting this refurb price is strong but not necessarily the lowest seen.
Yes. The 16-inch OLED panel is described as sharp, bright, and excellent for the price, and it is a key reason some buyers chose the laptop. The main downside mentioned is glare.
Battery life can be frustrating at first, with one report of roughly 3 hours before it later improved to around 5-7 hours after more use. It has no MUX switch, and disabling the GPU requires BIOS changes that also disable the HDMI port.
