Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14ARE05 in review: A lot of computing power in a compact case

[Redaktion]

Lenovo's mobile 14-inch laptop scores points with a powerful APU, an NVMe SSD, and a successful keyboard (backlit). The battery life is very good too.

There is an 16GB RAM version of this right? I would buy one if it's available because I really need to change my work laptop soon.

Finally there's someone checking the performance under different power options... That should be done for all laptop reviews, since almost every manufacturer has introduced that function. Lenovo has fn+q, Dell has fn+t, MSI has fn+f5, etc.

According to laptopmedia both nvme slots cannot be used simultaneously. Could you possibly test whether they can?

Would like to know this too - getting contradictory information on websites and forums so far

i just got mine 2 days ago and installed a second ssd into it immediately, both work simultaneously without issue so far

Is it possible to install m.2 sata ssd (m&b-key) into the 2280 m.2 slot?
m-key specification allows sata ssd's but I can't find any information on this laptop. Can anyone test it?

Agree with the bad contrast, i bought one and is the week point of this laptop.

the power connector on one of the pictures is wrong (old type)

If someone is wondering, I was able to install Fedora Linux 34 (with Gnome 40) and everything worked out of the box such as touchpad, bluetooth, wifi etc. the only thing that did not work was the fingerprint sensor.
