the most incredible thing has happened
this is a sponsored video it is sponsored by Intel and it is the year
2025 but guess what they don't have a bunch of nonsense AI talking points
incredible I know because we have the new Intel 200h series and it actually
looks pretty good so let's have a look at her to show off this new processor
Intel has sent over the Lenovo Idea pad Pro five which as far as I can tell from
the spec she is a very capable little be
I don't know why I said little it's actually pretty big that's a pretty sparse box we just get the laptop a
charger we don't even get a little quick start guide that tells us to plug it in
and turn it on
unbelievable all right this is probably going to be a powerful boy because we
have 100 W charger which is being delivered over USBC which I absolutely
love there are so many other laptops that come with nonsense magnetic
Chargers that cannot connect to your phone and everything else that you own
and getting 100 wat USBC charger is sick
looking at the device itself it is very uh laptop looking but I do really like
this finish we have an aluminum cover and if I go and smear my greasy old
hands all over it it's actually rejecting the fingerprints really quite
well look at that looking at the I/O we
have fulls size SD card reader two USB
type A's on the left side HDMI 2.1 two
Thunderbolt 4S and 3.5 mm audio now it
should be noted that the 200h series is capable of doing Thunderbolt 5 but from
what I have heard from laptop manufacturers you need to have your own little chip to support that and Lenova
has not done that in this case which oh well very few things support that at the
moment I notice that the power buttons on the side here which normally means it's convertible but this doesn't look
like a convertible and it's not oh here
we go I was saying that I missed the quickart guide but we have it right here
so power connector also it very clearly
has turn on with opening the lid and they also want you to sign up for their
premium warranty wow oh wait you can switch the refresh rate with just a
button one sec one sec function or 120
HZ function eror 60 HZ boo 120 HZ there
we go we're getting ahead of ourselves here though how heavy is this thing I'm
thinking 3.9 lb L 4.2 lb actually I'm going with
4.2 lb as my final answer ah 3.8 lb
which is very impressive for a laptop like this and also what I guessed the
first time and I should have stuck with it let's have a look at the build
quality here here we have an all
aluminum chassis that feels I have to say really quite good I'm giving it
quite a push here but it is barely moving that is very nice and solid one
thing that I also quite like is we don't just get a keyboard but we also get a
numpad does the quality of this chassis translate into a good typing experience
so let's find
out the keyboard is fantastic it has
heaps of travel and also the keys are very consistent and even though they do
have a little bit of Wiggle if you want to it doesn't matter cuz there is so
much travel and it's so far above the chassis that none of that matter matters
I'm going to give it a solid a down below the keyboard we have our trackpad
it is glass topped it feels really quite nice although it does have a traditional
click mechanism instead of some of the fancy Force touch ones that you will
find on other Lenovo devices in here for performance we get the Intel Core Ultra
9 285hp of their new 200 series processor
this thing gets you 16 cores and of those 16 cores you get six performance
eight efficiency and two low power efficiency to make sure that it doesn't
just drain itself when you're doing very very little things on battery it also
goes up to 5.4 GHz boost clock and that
is the main difference between the stack is the Boost clocks until you get down
to ultra FES where you do lose two performance cores bringing the total
down to only 14 for memory we get 32 GB that's
running at a blistering 8533 megga
transfers per second we also get a 1 TB
kokia and vme SSD Intel Wi-Fi 7 I love to
see that I really really appreciate Intel's Wi-Fi implementations they are
the best in my opinion we also have our npu which only does 13 tops instead of
the like 4050 that you need for a co-pilot plus certification but that
does not matter because we also have the Intel AR 140t GPU this has eight GPU
cores and in talking to Intel they were basically like we had to decide between
whether or not we got the co-pilot plus certification or you got good gaming
performance and on this right here they have dedicated that dice Bas to the GPU
meaning that it games probably the most
exciting thing about this GPU isn't just that they have raw performance increases
but they have also doubled the cash which with any luck will help us with
the sort of stuttering that I saw in some of the previous gen Intel Arc chips
and this one right here should be quite a bit more stable before we get into our
comparisons I just want to take a moment to sh out this display it freaking rocks
this right here is an OLED panel and it is so bright that I have just blown out
the overhead I am really sorry Andrew but it goes up to
1,00 knits we measured it also that it
goes up to 1080 knits in actual fact and
it keeps on going up to a a 33% window
at that brightness now of course if you have the entire display showing white it
goes down to 585 nits which is not
nearly as good as a th000 but unless you're getting flashbanged constantly I
don't think it's going to matter it also has 100% coverage of dcip 3 which we did
confirm in our testing there is no touchcreen but at the same time I'm not
super mad cuz I have seen so many OLED screens get completely ruined by a bad
mismatch between the touchscreen digitizer and the OLED panel cuz they'll
use a touchscreen digitizer that was made for LCD put it on OLED and boom it
looks like crap this right here certainly does not though it only goes
up to 500 nits with SDR which is the standard max brightness
damn how the freck did they manage to get 1,00 knits out of an OLED oh there
we go look at that you can't really tell on the camera too much but the way that
that sun is coming out of the clouds man it looks great this being an Intel
sponsored video we're just going to be testing Intel versus older Intel
specifically in this little Dell inspra right here which has an Intel Core Ultra
9 185h we did our best to match the tdps
and the results Intel improved it wow in the
games on average the new processor is2
to 25% faster than the old one which is
very excellent in cinebench we also saw a 28% performance uplift in multicore
and almost just as impressive the performance on this guy does not drop
off when you have it on battery at least in the performance mode on battery oh
wait performance mode are we in all right function Q cold mode no battery
saver mode no we're plugged in performance mode there we go there also
is a geek mode which gives you a little bit more power but we're not going to be
using that cuz you have to go into Lenova software to get it and it
sometimes makes it slower all right we're at 1800p which is way higher than
I would suspect that you should be doing on integrated Graphics but we're just
going to roll with it cuz we currently have 70 FPS meaning that when I get scored on by
Bots here it is my fault and not the computers uh this is
going really quite well I have to admit at this kind of a resolution I was not
expecting at all for it to be able to hold up but it
is it looked great while doing it have I
mentioned yet that I really like OLED panels I need to
score I'll do it right now you
never wow I say you never scored on I
have scored many times on ShortCircuit and because this Intel powered laptop is
so great I did it once once again for integrated Graphics it's great
and other times on Intel integrated Graphics where I've had good frame rates
it has not been playable because the 1% lows have been trash but they seem to
have fixed that in this generation at least in rocket league if you're not
quite getting the frame rates that you want though this also supports xcss 2
and we can see here that cyber Punk is running 30% faster than last gen thanks
to the beefed up xmx engines all right let's have a look at the webcam here
to do a little peel and also one thing that I really
appreciate that Lenova has included is a little switch for your webcam so that if
you don't want people looking at you they can't all right let's have a look
at the webcam here it is definitely grainy but this 1080p webcam seems like
it is able to compensate pretty well this is very dark very bright but it is
exposing for my face even if it's a tiny bit blown out there moving around here
is it able to figure it out I am not that white IRL there we go it might be
February but it's not that bad around here yeah it's doing a pretty
decent job I will say this is an adequate webcam and you can judge the
microphone with my voice right now all right let's give these speakers a bit of
a sniff here it says it has doly Atmos
on it uh Atmos requires speakers above
you and behind you and normally nine of them so I don't really know how we're
going to get atos out of this but maybe
they sound
good Okay it definitely sounds clear but it also sounds like there's not going to
be a whole lot of Base when it drops I can tell in the snare drum
there's not a lot of Base that's not a good
sign it's okay but it is definitely thin
there's not a whole lot going on in the low end with this at all but at the same
time it isn't crushed it isn't just like
a bunch of nonsense vibrating so maybe
if we turn it down a bit it'll nope there's never any
base but it's a laptop what can you expect nine T5 screws later which by the
way are not all the same length so maybe put them in a little nice magnetic Parts
tray like you can in the LTT Precision screwdriver set and we are in I
think yeah easy ow oh there we
go in here we can see that the upgrade ability is about what you expect in 2025
the RAM of course is soldered you can get nowhere near those kind of speeds
with sodm in here we also have uh it's
definitely normal size SSD right here
and if you want an actual fulls sizee one there's another expansion spot right
over here very nice and down here we also have an 84w hour battery which an
hour testing was able to get us 8 hours and 28 minutes of battery life we did
test that compared to the old one and it turns out the Dell has much better
battery life but I don't think that is New Gen Intel problems it's this has an
OLED screen problems which takes a lot of battery so I genuinely have no idea
what this little board does so if anyone in the comments can tell me that would
be greatly appreciated cuz I genuinely have no clue what it is
as spec this Lenovo Idea pad Pro 5 is5
00 which is pretty good you get plenty of RAM that OLED display is fantastic
and you can look at it down in the link below if you want to get one thank you
so much to Intel for sponsoring this video I hope that you guys enjoyed it
and I hope that you hit like get subscribed and have a great all day I'll
see you in the next one
