WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.440 The most incredible thing has happened. 00:00:03.440 --> 00:00:08.240 This is a sponsored video. It is sponsored by Intel, and it is the year 2025. 00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:11.960 But guess what? They don't have a bunch of nonsense AI talking points. 00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:16.560 Incredible, I know, because we have the new Intel 200H series, 00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:19.920 and it actually looks pretty good. So let's have a look at her. 00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:24.800 To show off this new processor, Intel has sent over the Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5, 00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:30.800 which, as far as I can tell from the spec sheet, is a very capable little beast. 00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:34.320 I don't know why I said little. It's actually pretty big. That's a pretty sparse box. 00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:38.120 We just get the laptop, a charger. We don't even get a little quick start guide 00:00:38.120 --> 00:00:41.080 that tells us to plug it in and turn it on. Unbelievable. 00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:47.520 All right, this is probably going to be a powerful boy because we have a 100 watt charger, 00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:51.560 which is being delivered over USB-C, which I absolutely love. 00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:56.680 There are so many other laptops that come with nonsense magnetic chargers 00:00:56.680 --> 00:01:00.360 that cannot connect to your phone and everything else that you own. 00:01:00.360 --> 00:01:03.720 And getting a 100 watt USB-C charger is sick. 00:01:03.720 --> 00:01:08.960 Looking at the device itself, it is very laptop-looking, 00:01:08.960 --> 00:01:12.680 but I do really like this finish. We have an aluminum cover, 00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.960 and if I go and smear my greasy little hands all over it, 00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:20.360 it's actually rejecting the fingerprints really quite well. 00:01:21.240 --> 00:01:25.280 Look at that. Looking at the IO, we have full-size SD card reader, 00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:28.520 two USB type A's on the left side, 00:01:28.520 --> 00:01:32.000 HDMI 2.1, two Thunderbolt 4s, 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:36.280 and 3.5 millimeter audio. Now it should be noted that the 200H series 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:40.920 is capable of doing Thunderbolt 5, but from what I have heard from laptop manufacturers, 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:45.600 you need to have your own little chip to support that, and Lenovo has not done that in this case, 00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:49.240 which, oh well. Very few things support that at the moment. 00:01:49.240 --> 00:01:52.360 I noticed that the power button's on the side here, normally means it's convertible, 00:01:52.360 --> 00:01:55.640 but this doesn't look like a convertible, and it's not. 00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.280 Oh, here we go. I was saying that I missed the Quick Start guide, 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:03.560 but we have it right here, so power connector. 00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:07.760 Also, it very clearly has turn-on with opening the lid, 00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:11.080 and they also want you to sign up for their premium warranty. Wow. 00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:15.200 Oh wait, you can switch the refresh rate with just a button. One sec, one sec. 00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:18.400 Function R, 120 Hertz. 00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:20.600 Function R, 60 Hertz. 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.720 120 Hertz, there we go. We're getting ahead of ourselves here though. 00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:31.320 How heavy is this thing? I'm thinking 3.9 pounds, 4.2 pounds. 00:02:31.720 --> 00:02:35.440 Actually, I'm going with 4.2 pounds as my final answer. 00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:39.120 Ah, 3.8 pounds, which is very impressive 00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:42.120 for a laptop like this, and also what I guess the first time 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:46.280 that I should have stuck with it. Let's have a look at the build quality here. 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:52.680 Here we have an all-aluminum chassis that feels, I have to say, really quite good. 00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:57.080 I'm giving it quite a push here, but it is barely moving. 00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:01.280 That is very nice and solid. One thing that I also quite like 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:05.440 is we don't just get a keyboard, but we also get a numpad. 00:03:05.440 --> 00:03:09.080 Does the quality of this chassis translate into a good typing experience? 00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:10.160 So let's find out. 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:17.920 The keyboard is fantastic. It has heaps of travel, 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:23.440 and also the keys are very consistent. And even though they do have a little bit of wiggle 00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:26.920 if you want to, it doesn't matter because there is so much travel 00:03:26.920 --> 00:03:30.200 and it's so far above the chassis that none of that matters. 00:03:30.200 --> 00:03:35.000 I'm going to give it a solid A. Down below the keyboard, we have our trackpad. 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.160 It is glass top. It feels really quite nice, 00:03:38.160 --> 00:03:42.960 although it does have a traditional click mechanism instead of some of the fancy force touch ones 00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:46.320 that you will find on other Lenovo devices. In here for performance, 00:03:46.320 --> 00:03:49.960 we get the Intel Core Ultra9 285H, 00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:55.080 which is the top of the new 200 series processor. This thing gets you 16 cores. 00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:59.440 And of those 16 cores, you get six performance, eight efficiency, 00:03:59.440 --> 00:04:04.440 and two low power efficiency to make sure that it doesn't just drain itself 00:04:04.440 --> 00:04:07.440 when you're doing very, very little things on battery. 00:04:07.440 --> 00:04:10.840 It also goes up to 5.4 gigahertz boost clock. 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.480 And that is the main difference between the stack is the boost clocks 00:04:14.480 --> 00:04:18.240 until you get down to ultra fives. Where you do lose two performance cores, 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:21.600 bringing the total down to only 14. 00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:29.440 For memory, we get 32 gigabytes. That's running at a blistering 8533 megatransers per second. 00:04:29.440 --> 00:04:33.200 We also get a one terabyte Kyoksia NVMe SSD, 00:04:33.200 --> 00:04:39.680 Intel Wi-Fi 7. I'd love to see that. I really, really appreciate Intel's Wi-Fi implementations. 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:43.880 They are the best in my opinion. We also have our NPU, 00:04:43.880 --> 00:04:48.040 which only does 13 tops instead of the like 40, 50 00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:52.160 that you need for a co-pilot plus certification. But that does not matter 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:56.300 because we also have the Intel Arc 140T GPU. 00:04:56.300 --> 00:04:59.880 This has eight GPU cores. And in talking to Intel, 00:04:59.880 --> 00:05:02.880 they are basically like, we had to decide between whether or not 00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:08.480 we got the co-pilot plus certification or you got good gaming performance. 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:12.680 And on this rate here, they have dedicated that die space to the GPU, 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:18.120 meaning that it games. Probably the most exciting thing about this GPU 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:22.880 isn't just that they have raw performance increases, but they have also doubled the cache, 00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:26.400 which with any luck will help us with the sort of 00:05:26.400 --> 00:05:30.720 stuttering that I saw in some of the previous Gen Intel Arc chips. 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:34.120 And this one right here should be quite a bit more stable. 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:38.600 Before we get into our comparisons, I just want to take a moment to shout out this display. 00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:41.600 It fricking rocks. 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:46.860 This right here is an OLED panel, and it is so bright that I have just blown out the overhead. 00:05:46.860 --> 00:05:52.200 I am really sorry, Andrew, but it goes up to 1,100 nits. 00:05:52.200 --> 00:05:56.360 We measured it also that it goes up to 1080 nits 00:05:56.360 --> 00:06:02.760 in actual fact, and it keeps on going up to a 33% window at that brightness. 00:06:02.760 --> 00:06:06.400 Now, of course, if you have the entire display showing light, 00:06:06.400 --> 00:06:12.360 it goes down to 585 nits, which is not nearly as good as 1,000, 00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:17.080 but unless you're getting flash banged constantly, I don't think it's going to matter. 00:06:17.080 --> 00:06:21.960 It also has 100% coverage of DCI-P3, which we did confirm in our testing. 00:06:21.960 --> 00:06:25.480 There is no touchscreen, but at the same time, I'm not super mad, 00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:31.000 because I have seen so many OLED screens get completely ruined by a bad mismatch 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.120 between the touchscreen digitizer and the OLED panel, 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.480 because they'll use a touchscreen digitizer that was made for LCD, 00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:40.640 so we put it on OLED, and boom, it looks like crap. 00:06:40.640 --> 00:06:46.680 This right here certainly does not, though. It only goes up to 500 nits with SDR, which is the standard. 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:50.440 Max brightness, damn. 00:06:50.440 --> 00:06:54.160 How the frick did they manage to get 1,100 nits 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:58.200 out of an OLED? Oh, there we go, look at that. 00:06:58.200 --> 00:07:04.360 You can't really tell on the camera too much, but the way that that sun is coming out of the clouds, 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:08.680 man, it looks great. This being an Intel-sponsored video, 00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:12.880 we're just going to be testing Intel versus older Intel specifically, 00:07:12.880 --> 00:07:18.320 in this little Dell Inspiron right here, which has an Intel Core Ultra9 185H. 00:07:18.320 --> 00:07:25.480 We did our best to match the TDPs, and the results, Intel improved it, wow. 00:07:26.200 --> 00:07:32.720 In the games, on average, the new processor is 20 to 25% faster than the old one, 00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:39.920 which is very excellent. In Cinebench, we also saw a 28% performance 00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:44.160 uplift in multicore, and almost just as impressive, 00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:48.360 the performance on this guy does not drop off when you have it on battery, 00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:52.400 at least in the performance mode on battery. Oh, wait, the performance mode are we in? 00:07:52.400 --> 00:07:56.480 All right, function Q, cold mode, no. 00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:01.240 Battery saver mode, no, we're plugged in. Performance mode, there we go. 00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:05.240 There also is a geek mode, which gives you a little bit more power, 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:08.600 but we're not going to be using that because you have to go into Lenovo software 00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:14.520 to get it, and it sometimes makes it slower. All right, we're 1800P, which is way higher 00:08:14.520 --> 00:08:19.840 than I would suspect that you should be doing on integrated graphics, but we're just going to roll with it 00:08:19.840 --> 00:08:22.000 because we currently have 70 FPS, 00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:27.240 meaning that when I get scored on by bots here, it is my fault and not the computers. 00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:32.640 This is going really quite well, I have to admit. 00:08:32.640 --> 00:08:37.720 At this kind of a resolution, I was not expecting at all for it to be able to hold up, but it is. 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:44.360 It looked great while doing it. Have I mentioned yet that I really like OLED panels? 00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:47.280 I need to score. I'll do it right now. 00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:52.720 Oh, let's say you've never scored on ShortCircuit. 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:59.100 I have scored many times on ShortCircuit, and because this Intel powered laptop is so great, 00:08:59.100 --> 00:09:04.320 I did it once again. For integrated graphics, it's great, 00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:08.400 and other times on Intel integrated graphics where I've had good frame rates, 00:09:08.400 --> 00:09:12.760 it has not been playable because the 1% lows have been trash, 00:09:12.760 --> 00:09:16.120 but they seem to have fixed that in this generation, at least in Rocket League. 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:20.600 If you're not quite getting the frame rates that you want, though, this also supports XCSS too, 00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:23.800 and we can see here that Cyberpunk is running 30% faster 00:09:23.800 --> 00:09:27.480 than the last gen thanks to the beefed up XMX engines. 00:09:27.520 --> 00:09:31.920 All right, let's have a look at the webcam here. To do a little peel. 00:09:33.640 --> 00:09:37.880 And also one thing that I really appreciate that Lenovo has included is a little switch 00:09:37.880 --> 00:09:41.920 for your webcam so that if you don't want people looking at you, they can't. 00:09:41.920 --> 00:09:47.560 All right, let's have a look at the webcam here. It is definitely grainy, but this 1080p webcam 00:09:47.560 --> 00:09:51.920 seems like it is able to compensate pretty well. This is very dark, very bright, 00:09:51.920 --> 00:09:56.040 but it is exposing for my face, even if it's a tiny bit blown out there. 00:09:56.040 --> 00:10:01.000 Moving around here, is it able to figure it out? I am not that white, IRL. 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:04.560 There we go, it might be February, but it's not that bad. 00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:11.320 Around here, yeah, it's doing a pretty decent job. I will say that this is an adequate webcam, 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:14.760 and you can judge the microphone with my voice right now. 00:10:14.760 --> 00:10:17.880 All right, let's give these speakers a bit of a sniff here. 00:10:17.880 --> 00:10:20.240 It says it has Dolby Atmos on it. 00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:25.080 Atmos requires speakers above you and behind you, 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:31.480 and normally nine of them. So I don't really know how we're gonna get Atmos out of this, 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:38.200 but maybe they sound good. Okay, it definitely sounds clear, 00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:42.240 but it also sounds like there's not gonna be a whole lot of bass when it drums. 00:10:43.280 --> 00:10:46.520 I can tell in the snare drum there's not a lot of bass. That's not a good sign. 00:10:46.880 --> 00:10:51.880 It's okay, but it is definitely thin. 00:10:55.200 --> 00:11:01.120 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, 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:04.960 it isn't just like a bunch of nonsense vibrating, 00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:08.280 so maybe if we turn it down a bit, it'll... 00:11:08.280 --> 00:11:09.960 Nope, there's never any bass. 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:16.040 But it's a laptop, what can you expect? Nine T5 screws later, which by the way, 00:11:16.040 --> 00:11:20.200 are not all the same length, so maybe put them in a little nice magnetic parts tray 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:23.800 like you can in the LTD Precision Screwdriver set, 00:11:23.800 --> 00:11:25.680 and we are in, I think. 00:11:26.880 --> 00:11:30.480 Yeah, easy, ow. Oh, there we go. 00:11:32.400 --> 00:11:37.200 In here, we can see that the upgradeability is about what you expect in 2025. 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:42.960 The RAM, of course, is soldered. You can get nowhere near those kind of speeds with Sodems. 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:48.000 In here, we also have, it's definitely normal-sized SSD right here, 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:53.320 and if you want an actual full-size one, there's another expansion spot right over here, very nice. 00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:58.200 And down here, we also have an 84-watt-hour battery, which an hour testing was able to get us eight hours 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.920 and 28 minutes of battery life. We did test that compared to the old one, 00:12:01.920 --> 00:12:07.560 and it turns out the Dell has much better battery life, but I don't think that is new-gen Intel problems. 00:12:07.560 --> 00:12:10.600 It's, this has an OLED screen problems, 00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:16.960 which takes a lot of battery. So I genuinely have no idea what this little board does, 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.680 so if anyone in the comments can tell me, that would be greatly appreciated, 00:12:20.680 --> 00:12:24.640 because I genuinely have no clue what it is. 00:12:24.640 --> 00:12:29.640 As spec'd, this Lenovo Idea Pad Pro 5 is 1500 US dollars, 00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:36.000 which is pretty good. You get plenty of RAM. That OLED display is fantastic, 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:39.400 and you can look at it down in the link below if you want to get one. 00:12:39.400 --> 00:12:42.960 Thank you so much to Intel for sponsoring this video. I hope that you guys enjoyed it, 00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:46.200 and I hope that you hit like, get subscribed, and have a great old day. 00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:47.600 I'll see you in the next one.
