Lenovo has announced a new range of IdeaPad laptops for 2021. But US readers should note that only one of them is coming to the US: the 16-inch IdeaPad 5 Pro.
Lenovo says that the IdeaPad 5 Pro is one of the most powerful IdeaPad laptops the company has ever made. The device can be configured with up to an H-series AMD Ryzen mobile processor and ‘next-gen’ Nvidia GeForce RTX GPUs. You can also get up to 32 GB DDR4 memory and 1 TB SSD PCIe M.2 storage.

One thing I’m excited about: the 5 Pro is the first IdeaPad laptop to offer a 16:10 screen. Coupled with a 90 percent screen-to-body ratio, it should provide extra room for productivity and multitasking across a 16: 9 device. The display also has a 90Hz refresh rate and can reach 400 brightness cuts.
Lenovo says you’ll also get a bigger trackpad than previous IdeaPads, as well as an improved keyboard with ‘soft landing pads’.

You can purchase the IdeaPad 5 Pro in May 2021, starting at $ 1,149.99.
In addition to the IdeaPad 5 Pro 16, Lenovo also announced the IdeaPad 5G 14 (at a not yet announced time to “select markets”) and the IdeaPad 5i Pro (available in Europe, the Middle East and Africa from March 2021) which Contains Intel processors. The 14-inch IdeaPad 5 Pro is not coming to North America, but it will also be available in Europe, the Middle East and Africa in March 2021.
