Just bought it on sale at Costco for 1,299! So excited about it! I decided on it over any other LG, HP, Dell, or Asus because of the bang for your buck!
What I dislike about the IdeaPad series is the fact that the screen hinges often fall off after 3-4 years of use. It can be fixed but shouldn't happen in the first place.
@@harigovindsrfortechnology We had hundreds in the workshop... on Friday even a rather new Ryzen model. Legit 90% of the hinge related repairs in the last years are Lenovo Ideapad.
what an awesome review you answered every nerd questions i had. thanks i am ordering this literally. thank you again you are the very few on the net with a review for this laptop, and the review was so awesome. ❤ liked and subbed
Good review! Just bought this on sale at costco but still looking at the LG gram. Very similar but lighter, debating to keep or switch b4 the 90 day return window lol
Hey Andrew, thanks for reviewing this one, and thanks for all your reviews - very well put together. I have this laptop the Lenovo IdeaPad pro 5i from Costco with Intel Ultra 9 32GB RAM, 1TB HDD, AND then I bought the Lenovo Pro 9i with SAME SPECS and just because the 9i had a power button on side that I thought I could use while lid was closed and connected to docking station, but it didn't work... So, I have to return one of them - but which one? I actually think the IdeaPad seems faster to me in normal use... What do you think?
I appreciate that you made this review even though you had less reception on the live unboxing of this product and ThinkBook together, I remember people were mostly excited just about ThinkBook. Also, I liked how you gave all the display details underneath when you talked about it. Keep it going.
Thanks for the review. I have been in the market for a new laptop and I have been watching many of your videos. I looked at this laptop at Costco ($1299) but decided to get the Pro 9i 14.5". I liked the size and portability (not a fan of numberpad) , speakers, mini led display, charger and comparable specs to this.
This was exactly the comparison i was looking for. I was considering the Costco offering. But the comment about the screen hinges failing and your sound comparison have me leaning towards the Yoga. Lenova should know better than to skimp on those things. Is the Yoga generally sturdier than the Ideabook?
@@andrewmarcdavid I bought the Yoga book several months ago and I'm delighted with my choice. It's wonderful! I didn't opt for the new display because longevity is important to me. But its performance is fantastic!
hey i was just wpndering how you got it to get so much battery life i have had mine for about a week and am only getting to about 5 or so hours with low screen brightness windows low powermode and the video playback thing that is supposed to save batterylife.
Thanks for this review. I’ve been looking for a laptop for content creation and considering the ideapad amd ryzen 7 rtx 4050 or the legion 5i intel 14650 with Rtx 4060. Which of the two do you reccomend? I’m nervous about intel and reliability issues and also hoping the amd would be less noisy and less hot
Im a engineer student and I’m looking for a good enough and reliable enough laptop, should I get this ideal pad? Or do you guys recommend another option?
Nice pc. Camera looked good. Display is good. Keyboard layout is good with a properly laid out numpad, although the smaller numpad keys might be an issue for some users. Potential purchasers might want to watch the Costco prices as Costco frequently puts their laptops on sale and one could potentially save an additional several hundred dollars off. Great review.
Hey Andrew, What about Yoga Pro 7i (14.5", Gen 9) 32GB, 1TB M.2 (2242) with RTX 4060 available on Lenovo Malaysia? How does it compare to Yoga Pro 9i you revewed? It would be best if you review it as well. Thanks
I must say that this is another winner of a laptop from Lenovo. For it's price point when maxed out at 32GB of fast RAM, it delivers quite a lot for your money! Love the gorgeous and bright OLED Touch display, clear webcam and internal mics, decent sound for a Windows laptop from the internal speakers and decent battery life. A comparable laptop from Dell would probably cost over $2000 so to get all this for $1500 is a steal!! Excellent review once again Andrew!! 👏😁
If you had to pick between this or a dell inspiron 16 plus 7630 (i7 13620H, RTX4060, and 32gb ram) for $1200, which would you recommend? Looking to use it for engineering grad school and having a really hard time making up my mind 😅
it would be highly helpful to me if you tell whether the apps support arm architecture and did you face any software incompatibility while using this laptop also tell whether virtualisation with linux is possible and can linux be runned bare metal, Thanks for Reading. Hoping to get a reply
Hey Andrew great review. Can you compare Lenovo ideapad pro 5 intel evo core ultra 9 185H vs Lenovo yoga slim 7 intel core ultra 7 155H. I’m confused what to buy for a 3-4 years use. Needed a durable one for a long usage.
Great review. I'm looking for a laptop for mainly photo editing but for playing the odd game and was looking at this but in the Ultra 7. my question is is it worth paying £120 more for the ultra 9? the graphic card we get in the UK is Integrated Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics, the RAM is 32 GB LPDDR5 (7467 MHz). I'm just not sure whether it's worth paying to upgrade and also if I need it? Thanks
man where do you get those tunes from? I really like them, the previous one is my fav, do you have them listed somewhere so I can listen to it when Im working? lol EDIT: I shazamed them all lol, YOU ARE LEGEND
I had 2 lenovo's. Only a lot of problems and very bad customer support. Both they didn't last more than 2 years. 2023 my company prohibited use of lenovo due to the scandals of the backdoors of the Chinese government.
Thanks to you "freaking love this thing' (yog PROi. I picked up one in Best Buy for $1650 with the ultra 9, 32 GB, and tax 4060. what a deal! almost a grand less than the same spec dell xps. nice work Marc.

good to know
2 in my case. Warranty saved me, but still.

@@cptcrogge wow Lenovo, good job😐
@@cptcroggeAre the laptops in workshop normal ideapads with plastic bodies or ideapads with metal bodies like the ideapad pro 5i?

Any thoughts on / experience with the 14" Ideapad 5 Pro gen 9?
This laptop vs zephyrus 14 (2024) which is better?

Great video , well done !
Is everything you mentioned also true for the 14" 32GB RAM version ?
How fast were the davinci 4K video exports ?

the camera and audio from the laptop in your review looked good enough to me

it's on sale in store here in Abq for $1,299.

Even better at the $1299 price Costco has going right Now.
Did you mean to record the Yoga 9i G9 or the MacBook at the end there?

This or a discounted omen transcend 16 with rtx4070 or a Legion slim 5 Gen 9?
This but AMD version
man where do you get those tunes from? I really like them, the previous one is my fav, do you have them listed somewhere so I can listen to it when Im working? lol EDIT: I shazamed them all lol, YOU ARE LEGEND
I had a friend who own Lenovos. They are best in color display.
A lot of bang for buck. Will strongly consider picking this up in the near future.
Lenovo and hinge failures are real... This is so tempting for me.. But my current Lenovo yoga is still has a bad hinge.. It sucks
Can this be compared to snapdragon.
This has a discrete gpu
please review 14" version also
We want a full comparison with yoga pro 9i.
When we can expect the comparison if you please?🫡
Sir please review lenovo yoga pro 7 2024 amd ryzen 7 8845hs
Wish they specced this with a 4060
Another great review...
Thanks for the review but i'm not interested in any Intel based laptop until i see Snapdragon reviews.
I had 2 lenovo's. Only a lot of problems and very bad customer support. Both they didn't last more than 2 years. 2023 my company prohibited use of lenovo due to the scandals of the backdoors of the Chinese government.
Best 2 in 1 16 inch and 14 inch laptop video
It's $200 off at Costco until 6/16
Nice!
Waiting for Dell Precisions review 🎉
Soon
gotta wait for lunar lake
❤👍
Slight water down yogi pro 9I
Thanks to you "freaking love this thing' (yog PROi. I picked up one in Best Buy for $1650 with the ultra 9, 32 GB, and tax 4060. what a deal! almost a grand less than the same spec dell xps. nice work Marc.
The 5i is NOT an OLED screen !!!!! Only the 5 (AMD) is.
False information... Intel core Ultra 7 processor on IdeaPad pro 5i not ultra 9
Get your facts checked , Ultra 9 185H config is avavailable too.
that screen aint 2k
Really? News to me
