Editorial Notes

The IdeaPad Pro 5 14 Gen 9 AMD pairs a Ryzen 7 8845HS with a stunning 2.8K 120 Hz OLED panel in a 1.46 kg chassis — rare for a 14-inch creator laptop at this price. The Radeon 780M iGPU handles light creative tasks admirably, and the 73 Wh battery provides a full working day. A genuine ThinkPad-quality keyboard in a consumer package.
