I've used the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 16ACH6 as my main laptop for a little over five months now and it is arguably the best Windows laptop I've purchased under $1,000 (after tax). From day-to-day use to professional creative work to gaming, this laptop only improves on what the Lenovo IdeaPad S740 was able to do. Check out the video to see why I loved it so much!

Bought this monster few days ago after extreme research, man was i glad even more so now that I've seen your review

[namanchopra]

Literally bought it the same day after watching your video. Was going crazy finding the "perfect" specs but there are hardly any youtubers who do long term reviews. Thanks a ton man, love the machine so far ❤️

I've been using this laptop for months. This is a great review and the only one who has pointed out problems with wifi adapter. Other than that this is a good laptop for the price.

I have the same laptop and have been using it for almost a year
it's a great budget laptop
I agree with you for everything except the final result, I would rather give it A

[TDRN]

got mine about half a year ago, its the perfect middle of the road laptop that will hopefully last a long time

I ordered an upgraded version with 6600HS and 3050. Great video. Cannot wait to receive it.

[galaxym]

Thank you
I have the same laptop, the connectivity issue happens to me as well, even without hibernation or sleep .
Tried to update the driver, installed an old versions, no change.

If it becomes too frequently, I might replace the wi-fi card .
Overall it's worth buying .

Thank you for an excellent review! I am considering buying this laptop, but I've come across evidence based testimonies of pretty bad screen light bleeding around the edges. Do you also have this experience?

[captaingamesz]

8:21 is the heating only annoying when heavy use? Or also when light use (watching youtube for example)

Great review, I just ordered one with a discount with my preference - without windows os. I'm surprised with the build quality, for an ideapad it seems pretty good, I have owned an ideapad before and it was total trash, full plastic, hinges just broke and it even lacked some screws inside in the exact area where it broke.
Anyway, I totally agree with the numpad thing - centered keyboard and speakers on sides would be perfect, like in ThinkPad Z16 but as gorgeous and appealing this thing is, it's out of the budget for me at the same time. Also, would appreciate full sized arrow keys like in new Redmibook - it's a shame Xiaomi don't sell them outside of China - all is perfect about its ryzen edition to me.
This one seems like the only real option if one wants a good and big 16:10 display in the west unless you are ready to spend over 2000$ for a laptop, at least for now. It feels like 16:10 aspect ratio and AMD Ryzen 6000 cpu's will become a trend in near future, can't wait.

I also have the connection issue while on Ethernet after waking up, I have to plug my cable out and in for it to see it again. It completely disconnects while asleep or something.

I just ordered the 14" version with Ryzen 5 6600hs, 1tb ssd, and 16gb of 4600mHz ddr5 for $1000 Canadian, really looking forward to it

[shanmugamudhaya]

Bought it last month, quiet, good gaming performance and cheap

[eugenemasko]

When idle, surfing in the browser, simple tasks, do the fans work? Do they make a lot of noise when coding/editing video?

[charliedurnford]

Thanks for the review. How have you found the fan noise? Is there fan noise when just surfing web/watching YouTube etc?

[youssefsama]

thanks for the review, i want to ask if the ryzen 5 5600h version of this pc is solid for data science and machine learning studying and work, im considering to buy it !

[TalalHamdani]

Heyy man would you still recommend this laptop in 2024 for this price or is there a better similar option now?

[saxguy]

Great review, might pick this machine up for myself! Quick question though - Did you update the drivers for the wifi card? Was hoping that it might be a fix for the connection dropping, as otherwise this laptop seems to do everything I need it to do

[blackman]

Thank you for an amazing review! I am considering buying this laptop, but I read some comments about the unstable wifi connection of this laptop due to the wifi card. Do you have the same problems with wifi connection? Thanks.

[HitEmUpru]

i have this too, but it's too loud and too hot from the begging. Does they have bad thermal pads? should i change it? what about you?
