Windows devices with Qualcomm’s ARM processors from the Snapdragon series are in a difficult position, but Lenovo still sees potential. Although the Yoga 5G announced a year ago is still not available in this country (unlike in the USA, for example, where it is already being sold as the Flex 5G), the cheaper sister model IdeaPad 5G is now making its debut at the CES. In both, the second version of the Snapdragon 8cx (Gen2), which has been announced for some time, works with an additional 5G modem. Under the name IdeaPad 4G / LTE there is also a version with the slimmed-down CPU variant Snapdragon 8c, which (as the name suggests) only works in LTE cellular networks.

The 1 , 2 kilograms light 14 – Zöller (1920 × 1080 pixels, 16: 9) has 8 GByte LPDDR4X main memory and SSDs with 256 or 512 GByte on board; a battery charge should last up to 20 hours. Sales are scheduled to start in May; Lenovo has not yet given any prices.

x 86 – IdeaPads with 16: 10 – Comfort The starting April new IdeaPads with x 32 processors will be available with both AMD (IdeaPad 5 Pro) and Enter Intel CPUs (IdeaPad 5i Pro) – and each with 14 or 16 inch large screens in aspect ratio 16: 10. The latter provides a noticeable plus in image height and was previously reserved for expensive high-end notebooks. The IdeaPads are priced from 830 Euro (AMD) or 900 Euro (Intel), on the other hand, is in the middle class. Another novelty in this class: The 14 – Zöller is available with 90 Hz refresh rate, the 16 – Zöller even with 90 – Hz panels.

While the Intel-fired IdeaPad 5i Pro with 11th generation Core-i processors (Tiger Lake) and the low-end GeForce MX graphics chip 450 is equipped, customers in the AMD – 16 – Zöller IdeaPad 5 Pro can also use stronger GeForce RTX Select -GPUs.

There is no further information about the GeForce graphics chips or about the built-in Ryzen processors, as they are probably CES innovations from Nvidia and AMD which will only be revealed in the coming days. Lenovo provides up to 1 TB of SSD storage; the maximum RAM depends on the model: The Ryzen RTX – 16 – Zöller is available with up to 32 GByte, the other three with up to 16 GByte.
