Review on 16" Notebook Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 16ACH6 2560x1600, Intel Core i5 11300H 3.1 GHz, RAM 16 GB, DDR4, SSD 512 GB, NVIDIA GeForce MX450, Windows 11 Home, 82L900ARRU, Storm Gray by Mateusz Szlassa ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I expected mediocre quality, but the product was pleasantly surprised.

I will compare this model (82L9002RRK) with a fellow Lenovo ThinkBook 15 G2-ITL (20VE00G0RU), in terms of hardware, in addition to an external video card and screen, they are very similar. I'll start with the cons: - noisy cooling. Those who write that the laptop is quiet, probably do nothing on it. Yes, you can’t hear anything in idle time, but you just need to load it a little - the turbines immediately start with an unpleasant high-frequency whistle, and in the game - a vacuum cleaner in general; - inhomogeneity of the keyboard, the buttons are pressed normally in the center, they somehow knock on the edges and do not walk very pleasantly, there is no such garbage on the ThinkBook; - the sound is very simple, this item, like the camera, is traditionally weak in all non-premium laptops (thanks that at least there is no rattling of the case at some frequencies, like in ThinkBook); - easily soiled coating, probably a feature of the dark storm color, well, at least prints are easily rubbed off. Pros: - as comrades note, decent screen quality (although small lights slightly spoil the impression, they were not there at all on the ThinkBook); - I was impressed by the performance of the MX450 video card, in Dota at normal settings at 2560x1600 over 100 fps, at ultra settings - 60+. Offset, definitely; In general, the laptop is solid, the cooling noise annoys me the most, tolerable, but not very. 😑 Also, the processor performance (Core i5 11300H) is clamped at the level of power and performance settings in the system, with the default value "Balanced" - it works a couple of points lower (WinRar benchmark) than the Core i5 1135G7 in the ThinkBook (which is sort of ultra- low-voltage). The setting of the "Maximum performance" mode saves the situation, and then the percentage is already revealed to the full.

Pros
  • Screen, video card, case
Cons
  • Noisy CO, unpretentious sound, keyboard, easily soiled coating, small glare
