Hi and thank you for your great reviewing ideas that you bring to us! I am in dire need of a reliable laptop, that can run as cool as possible, do productivity/office work/data analysis and multitasking with ease, and have a good display (bright enough to work in a well-lit room, pleasant movie viewing experience). In terms of heat control, which laptop would you recommend, the Ideapad 5 Pro 16 ryzen-5 AMD model (with 2 fans) or the Yoga Slim 7 ryzen-5 AMD model? Obviously the Ideapad 5 Pro and the Yoga Slim 7 are in a lot of competition! It is a very tough decision for me, because on one hand I think the bigger 16" screen would make office work easier, but on the other hand the Yoga Slim has a brighter, albeit smaller, screen.

Hi. Among all the possible uses of the screen going back to a flat position, I find that useful to just connect my laptop to an external monitor and not having to use another keyboard nor mouse because I use the ones of the laptop while I lay the screen flat to get it our of sight and not interfere with me looking at the external monitor. It is a must for me in a laptop. Regards

@@alexbarry2497 Thanks for your advice. I was actually looking to buy the Ideapad 5 Pro 16 with the 16" screen, which has an aluminum build (don't know about the hinge though). I went to the Lenovo store to test it out and amongst all the other lenovo laptops on display, this one was the warmest! It had a ryzen 7-5800H processor and dual fan system, wasn't doing much just playing a VLC video, but the keyboard was still unecessarily warm, while the ambient temperatures were cool and the store was air conditioned. I was very disappointed. Beside this laptop was the 14" version of the same model, which has the R7-5800U chip and it was running very cool by comparison. I'm now considering buying the 14" Ideapad 5 Pro. However, I'm bummed that the screen might be too small for my needs (lots of office work, going through documents, writing my thesis). I've owned HP laptops for the past 15 years and those models I had (which weren't high end, since I ain't got the money for that), had heating issues. I decided to move away from HP, since I don't think they have high quality products under 1000€.

I think r5 has enough power so in that choice i'd get the Slim 7 but make sure it's 16gb ram for the longevity of it. If you don't need gaming because the gpu in r7 is quite a bit better. Also the ram is faster in the Slim 7 which makes a difference for sure.

Hey, just wondering, does it heat up easily and do the fans get loud ? Thank you :)

@w2best 3 жыл бұрын

The ideapad 5 never runs hot. The Yoga slim 7 with 4700u and 4800u runs hot at high demanding tasks. It has fans on then, but not crazy high pitch fans. 4500u overall has an easier time to keep cool.

Thanks for your great review!!! Got mine Yoga 4500U 16 GB. Great machine, but keyboard is ... just ok. After Macbook Air 2014 probably i need extra time to get used to it. Because of that i am planning to get mechanical keyboard. I start Computer Science in college and defenetly i will spend a lot of time typing. Do you have any recommendation for great keyboard for software development? Once again thanks for your content!!!

This is like giving a review of "Ford Mustang vs Chevy Camaro" without providing any specifications. Maybe one car is faster than the other, but so what if one is a six cylinder and the other is an 8 cylinder but that fact is never mentioned. So I wonder if one laptop is using Lenovo's "LCD FullHD" screen and the other one may be using Lenovo's "IPS FullHD" screen which is brighter, has richer color pallette, and wider viewing angles? Both machines can be spec'd with either screen technology - but that info remains a secret in this review. Similarly, they can come with WIFI 802.11n or 802.11ax as the maximum supported protocol, which will make a difference in WIFI performance. Which WIFI is in which laptop? Without this information it becomes a comparison of two 'black boxes' where we can only guess at the tech inside the box.

It technically has fake hdr enabled through dolby vision. The issue is that it will only work when used in supported apps, like microsoft’s original edge browser (NOT the chromium derivative) and as far as I heard, stuff like netflix’s app. It might also work with the default windows video player? I’m not sure. Blame microsoft and dolby for it

Great comparison! I just bought the slim 7 for 700 dollars, with the ryzen 5 configuration. I was in between this and the asus zenbook 14, but the zenbook cost 300 dollar more, without having a headphone jack and it can't turn the display 180 degrees, hence I picked the slim 7. I liked the keyboard more on the asus, but I could not find it a justifiable reason to the cost difference. What do you think?

Your review came out a bit to late. I was choosing between these and Yoga easily won. The main differences are as you stated: sRGB screen and stellar speakers. I also admire glass touchpad on Yoga as well as extra USB-C port and 4K@60Hz HDMI output. The hidden difference are fans - Yoga has 2, Ideapad only 1. The screen lid is much stiffer on the Yoga as well. In my opinion the Ideapad is the lesser one in this duel due to the small price difference - Yoga is simply more of everything for just a small additional cost.

If you edit videos primarily the Ryzen 5 or 7 cpu:s are currently not the best. They have big problems coping with video editing at least in davinci resolve which is what I use. For everthing else I think they are great. However with yoga slim 7 you have the version with Nvidia mx350 which could work better in your case. You also have the Asus G14 which has both a superfast cpu and nvidia gpu. It doesn't have a webcam though which I find to be a bummer. In the same weight category you also have msi prestige 14 and prestige 15. With the new tiger lake cpu:s and the gtx 1650 they come with I think they can be pretty solid alternatives.

On the next page of the article you also have benchmarks showing that this is better in most scenarios.
