Pros and Cons

Lenovo IdeaPad 5

Strengths

The laptop has a good build quality and a sturdy hinge, deserving a 9 out of 10 score at this price range.
It has a great display with 65% sRGB color coverage which is perfect for students or those who just want to check emails and type something on the laptop.
Performance-wise, it's powered by Intel Core i5 1235U CPU with MX 550 GPU from m video, making it suitable for business or work laptops and can perform well enough for a business laptop.

The webcam quality is also impressive, having a 1080p resolution at this price range, with a nice blocker for added privacy.

One concern about the hinge is that if you open your laptop by holding it on both sides of the screen, you may damage the hinge too easily.
It only has one point hinge instead of two, which can make it last less than other laptops.
The port selection could be improved, as some users might find it lacking in terms of USB ports or other connectivity options.
The speakers are good but not powerful enough to play music or watch videos without an external speaker.
It doesn't have a glass trackpad, which is a minor drawback considering the price point.
