Lenovo IdeaPad 5i Pro (16″, 2022) – Top 5 Pros and Cons
Lenovo has given every other brand a run for their money, delivering great laptops that are full of features. The IdeaPad 5i Pro is a really welcome addition to the IdeaPad family, delivering a great Creator platform with the Alder Lake H-series processors and integrated graphics.
While some argue that the iGPU won’t be enough, we would say that Intel has gone a long way with their GPU solutions, which are surprisingly good in productivity work. While we didn’t manage to test it, there is an Arc GPU available as well: the entry-level A370M, which is ripe for performance and a bit of gaming on the side. Not everything is performance, however, as the laptop also comes with a great high-res display.
Today we present you with LaptopMedia’s top 5 picks about the Lenovo IdeaPad 5i Pro (16″, 2022).
Lenovo IdeaPad 5i Pro (16″, 2022): Full Specs / In-depth Review
3 reasons to BUY the Lenovo IdeaPad 5i Pro (16″, 2022)
1. Design and build quality
The laptop is well built with an aluminum chassis and an anodized finish on the lid and base. Design-wise, there’s very little branding with small Lenovo logos on the lid and base. There are two grey colors to pick from, one lighter and one darker. Durability is good, with the aluminum lid being a bit flexible, while the base is more rigid. The 17mm profile has something to do with it, as with thinner metal sheets, you get structural support. For a 16-inch notebook, it has a weight of 1.95 kg, which is alright.
2. Display quality
The display on the front has a 16:10 aspect ratio and QHD+ resolution. It uses an IPS panel, so viewing angles are great. The panel has two versions, with either a 60Hz or 120 Hz refresh rate. The panel has a decent max brightness of 337 nits and a 1680:1 contrast ratio. The color reproduction is decent, with 90% sRGB coverage.

The panel displays accurate colors with the stock settings (left), with a dE value of 2.3. Once we applied our Design and Gaming profile (right), the dE value went down to 1.5.

Kontorsarbete
Office Work bör främst användas av användare som tillbringar större delen av tiden med att titta på text, tabeller eller bara surfar. Denna profil syftar till att ge bättre tydlighet och skärpa genom att bibehålla en platt gammakurva (2.20), native färgtemperatur och perceptuellt korrekta färger.

Design och Spel
Denna profil riktar sig till designers som arbetar professionellt med färger, samt för spel och filmer. Design and Gaming tar skärmpanelerna till sina gränser och gör dem så exakta som möjligt i sRGB IEC61966-2-1-standarden för webb och HDTV, vid vitpunkt D65.

Health-Guard
Health-Guard eliminerar den skadliga pulsbreddsmoduleringen (PWM) och minskar det negativa blå ljuset som påverkar våra ögon och vår kropp. Eftersom den är skräddarsydd för varje panel lyckas den hålla färgerna perceptuellt korrekta. Health-Guard simulerar papper så att trycket på ögonen minskar avsevärt.

3. I/O

2 reasons NOT to buy the Lenovo IdeaPad 5i Pro (16″, 2022)
1. Upgradeability
The laptop is stuck with up to 16GB of LPDDR5, which will quickly get used up in many Creator workloads. Storage-wise, you get only one M.2 PCIe x4 slot that supports Gen 4 drives.
Here is our detailed teardown video, which shows how to access the tiny bit of upgradeability that the IdeaPad 5i Pro offers.
2. Charger
Lastly, the laptop comes with a 100W charger, which isn’t enough to power up the display and the H-series processor, as we have seen that in some laptops, the Alder Lake CPUs can draw more than 100W of power, which leads to great performance.
| Intel Core i5-12500H (45W TDP) | 0:02 – 0:10 sec | 0:15 – 0:30 sec | 10:00 – 15:00 min |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lenovo IdeaPad 5i Pro (16″, 2022) | 3.49 GHz @ 2.68 GHz @ 62°C @ 74W | 3.47 GHz @ 2.67 GHz @ 78°C @ 73W | 3.17 GHz @ 2.47 GHz @ 84°C @ 60W |
Here, the Core i5-12500H maxes out at 74W in the first seconds of the test, dropping to 60W in the later stages.
