Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i (14, Gen 8) review – its cooling and display are very good


Performance: CPU, GPU, Gaming Tests

All benchmarks and tests were conducted with the “Extreme Performance” profile activated in the Lenovo Vantage app. Also, the “Switchable Graphics” mode is selected in the BIOS. In addition, the “Best performance” preset is activated in the Windows “Power & Battery” menu.

CPU options

Two CPU options are available  – Intel Core i5-13500H and Core i7-13700H.

GPU options

If you need something more powerful than the iGPU inside of the CPU, you can get the optional NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 (Laptop, 60W, 6GB).

Gaming tests

The 6GB version of the GeForce RTX 3050 is mentioned as a 65W model in the NVIDIA Control panel. Still, Lenovo states a TGP of 60W.

The GeForce RTX 3050 (Laptop, 60W, 6GB) is a good budget mobile video card. It can still show around 60 FPS on Medium or High settings in some heavy titles.
