Lenovo Ideapad 5 (15) review – the GeForce MX350 brings the low-voltage gaming to a new level
As soon as Lenovo introduced their new Ideapad series, everyone wanted to see one device – the Ideapad 5. Essentially, it can be viewed as a successor to the Ideapad S540, which was a very solid machine. Again, it comes in 14-inch and 15-inch variants, and Lenovo offers it with both Intel and AMD processors.
Today, we have the 15-inch model, equipped with Ice Lake CPUs. However, this review won’t be only a debut for this laptop, but also for the GeForce MX350 for our website. Unsurprisingly all of the rumors were true, and it uses a GP107 chip – the one used on the GTX 1050. However, it is downclocked, uses less than half of the power of the GTX 1050, and has only 2GB of GDDR5. Surely, this keeps the price down, but we’re yet to see how does it impact the performance.
In addition to that, there are other goodies featured in this notebook – some of them include a choice between TN and IPS panels, a fingerprint reader, embedded into the power button, a fancy color choice and interesting build material choice.
