Chassis, connectors, screen of Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14ITL05 (82FE00PHFR)
With its Graphite Gray design with an aluminum shell, this thin and light laptop PC has an elegant and discreet look.
It is equipped with good connectivity made up of 1 USB-C, Wi-Fi ax wireless modules ( more recent and efficient than Wi-Fi ac ) and Bluetooth 5.1 for remote connections and communications, a practical HDMI video output for easy connection to a TV or monitor for example, an audio port but also 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers taking place up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are connected to it.
Too bad, however, that the chiclet keyboard cannot be backlit, which would have made it possible to better distinguish its keys in the dark.
In any case, the screen will appeal to lovers of videos and more generally High Definition content because it is adorned with a 16: 9 format associated with a precise Full HD definition. As it is anti-reflective, the screen is also more readable than a shiny panel in a bright environment (eg outdoors).
Performance, battery life of Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14ITL05 (82FE00PHFR)
The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14ITL05 (82FE00PHFR) is a slim and light High Definition compact laptop designed for everyday versatile use on the go.
Nomads will love the 9-hour battery life of this versatile Ultrabook, allowing it to be used all day long away from a power outlet. In addition, it is easy to transport thanks to its compactness, finesse and lightness.
To offer such battery life, this laptop PC relies on energy-efficient components such as its core combining 8 GB of RAM with a low-power Intel processor, the Tiger Lake Quad Core i5-1135G7.
The overall performance provided by this duo is good, suitable for many users. And all the more so since it allows you to watch photos and videos but also to play titles that do not require too much graphic resources.
Because the performance of the Iris Xe graphics part (which we tested) integrated into the Core i5 Tiger Lake are significantly higher than those of the classic Intel UHD 620.
However, if you plan to often perform work that requires processor and / or graphics resources, you should rather turn to a PC based on a non-low-power processor and / or an appropriate dedicated graphics card.
As for storage, Lenovo chooses a silent SSD but also less energy than a hard drive, more robust and much faster.
Result thanks to the SSD, we benefit from a much better fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis compared to a simple hard drive. Thus, for example, thanks to the SSD, we obtain much faster starts / stops, processing and launches of software or even a faster arrival on the cards of online games.
As often, the capacity of the integrated SSD is 512 GB, which corresponds to the standard among hard disks. That said, you can always rely on an external storage unit. Opting for a USB-C / USB 3.0 device then represents an interesting solution to take advantage of fast transfers.
