The latest Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i 16 Gen 10 multimedia laptop is now enjoying a steep discount from Lenovo. Currently retailing at a big 44% discount, the Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i 16 features capable hardware with an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H CPU, an RTX 5050 GPU, and a superb OLED display.
The Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5 16 Gen 10 was initially announced on CES 2025. The laptop is running on the Intel Arrow Lake-H Mobile CPUs, RTX 50 50 dGPU, and a beautiful OLED display in the front. But we have already witnessed such great multimedia machines this year that IdeaPad Pro 5i Gen 16 have somehow stayed behind the scene.
The fact that it is not as popular as other 16 inch multimedia laptops is in fact good news to the consumer. This translates to the fact that Lenovo is likely to reduce prices to clear stock. This is precisely what appears to have just occurred as the IdeaPad Pro 5i 16 Gen 10 can be purchased on the unbelievable 44 per cent of the list price with the code IDEAPROFUN2 at the checkout. The resultant price of 949.99 is a huge 750 short of the list priced 1699.99.
Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i 16 Gen 10 specifications.
The IdeaPad Pro 5i 16 SKU sale is below the highest-end model that includes a Core Ultra 9 285H and 32 GB of RAM, as the machine has a Core Ultra 7 255H, 16 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of storage. Nevertheless, there can be not such a significant drop in the performance of the CPU, as the 16-core Core Ultra 7 255H is in almost the same performance as the Ultra 9 285H with a minor frequency reduction. We have tested both of the CPUs, and they are practically equal.
The IdeaPad Pro 5i 16 currently on sale does not have the flagship RTX 5050 laptop GPU, unlike the CPU, but instead uses the same one. The GPU is not a powerhouse in any sense however it will serve a good purpose in FHD gaming and in accelerating creative workloads. The RTX 5050 compares to the previous-gen RTX 4060 laptop with regards to performance.
IdeaPad Pro 5 16 Gen 10 has a touch-sensitive OLED display at the front side. The panel has a resolution of 2,880×1,800, a refresh rate of 120 Hz, 1,100-nit peak brightness and 100 percent DCI-P3 coverage which makes it a good panel to watch media as well as create content.
Other prominent features are two Thunderbol 4 ports, a massive glass trackpad, and a massive 84 Wh battery. With some of our testing of the IdeaPad Pro 9 Gen 10, we can tell that the IdeaPad Pro 5 Gen 10 should have over 10 hours of battery life when used under normal conditions.
In a nutshell, when you are looking to buy a multimedia laptop with a big OLED screen that would be performing well at approximately 1000 dollars, then the Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5 16 Gen 10 on sale would appear like a good deal.
