The Best Value Right Now, High-End Emulation, Get Work Done, and Game!
Ойындар
This might be the best laptop value right now for most people who want a laptop that does Most everything. It's powered by a Ryzen 5625U, has Awesome battery life and pricing and it handled high-end emulation very well like WiiU using the CEMU EMulator, Original Xbox using CXBX Reloaded, PS3 RPS3 emulator, and even Switch emulation using THIS! We run some benchmarks, Test some PC games like God Of War, Elden Ring Cyberpunk 2077, Skyrim, and of course check out the emulation performance. If you don't want to wait for Ryzenn 6000 or pay $800-$1300 for a Ryzen 6000 laptop this might be for you.
Get it on eBay Price was at $469 but it looks like its back up to $529 but keep your eye on it because it will come back down - ebay.us/gu2X6z

When it comes to modern triple A games like Cyberpunk on these low end GPUs, going for 60fps is out of the question. Especially for a game like Cyberpunk which isn't very fast paced, and relies on eye candy.

I would like to see this laptop being tested with Final Fantasy 7 remake. Would like to see the performance on it
Would love how it performs with the apu utility app and also how it does under manjaro and using steam.
These laptops come in a lot of configurations. Here in My country I got one with a 5300U and 8 of RAM. The PC is still snappy for most tasks, I've realized the CPU is as strong as a locked desktop i7-6700/7700, but of course the laptop you reviewed has even bettter specs.
Dude where do you get some of your wallpapers from? You always have some awesome wallpapers on whatever machine your demoing.
How does such a moving wallpaper affect higher power consumption or battery life in a laptop? Affects performance?
Thank you, minipcs, builds, laptops, work and play, linux, steam and valve, sbcs, phones, dex, aaa gaming, emulation, tdp temps and power, I love this guy.
Hi ETA - Can you please do a tutorial on how to use a screen overlay tool when playing games that dont support Xinput Controllers like Genshin Impact?
I was interested on lower TDP performance on this one, since Ayaneo AIr gonna have the 5560U and 5825U.
Good stuff, Hopefully they have another deal like this or better or a desktop version soon again. Your the man! Btw Heard 2 ps2 emulators or 1 are on android now as well and working lol! Love too see more and more on that haha! Wonder if any of these budget machines can do some Cad and 3d/Design Work 🤔 Anyway's Thank's!
the minisforum has this same spec..i Hope you can make a review on that as well. the UM560. thanks ETA prime
how does this perform when capped at 15 watts? Would be a nice preview of what the Aya Neo Air could perform like.
the laptop is now $529 as of june 18. still not a bad deal considering 512gb storage, ryzen 5 cpu, and 16gb of ram (1 soldered, 1 upgradeable slot). thanks for the video

it's a stupid curiosity but the thing on screen at the end of the video with cars under the moon is a game or just an animated desktop? Nice review in any case. I think I'm going to buy this one.
nice video but I do have one question. Where do you get those live wallpapers ? especially the one with the car driving on the highway
That is the best looking BIOS screen I've ever seen
I got this laptop and I figured out that you don't even need to go into the bios and can just do the sane type of wattage boost in the Lenovo Vantage software
Thank you for the review. This may be the one for Digitsl Pinball.
can someone explain what the best integrated graphics is rn? i think it was iris xe for a while but did ryzen pass them again? for some reason its kinda hard to find info on this
Would a Ryzen 5900hx with 3050 rtx give similar results to this? So this specific laptop is only using the CPU with integrated graphics performs this well? Sorry if I sound noonish 😅
Is this an ebay exclusive? i cant find the same model anywhere.
Where did you get that screensaver from at the end of the video?
Thank you. Have you ever tested a ryzen 7 5825u?
Hi, How is the fan noise? is it too loud and how often does the fan tunrs on while web browsing or working on MS office? i noticed that in many laptops fans just start randomly while doing even normal tasks like web browsing, is it so with this laptop?
I wonder whether the "fn" keys work in Linux. Moreover, the speakers... As far as I know IdeaPads did not love linux and the audio quality was always poor. Could you check that at least using a live system?
@PRIME, question. If I was to buy this and output to my 4k TV (emulation), can I ramp some games up to 4k? This is a setting in the emu, right? Thanks bro.
@MattAkiyama1

Yup you would be able to upscale to 4K as long as your GPU can handle it. And it would match with the 4K TV screen. It definitely would be difficult on an integrated GPU without a dedicated GPU when it comes to PS2/gamecube/wii/wiiu/switch/ps3 emulation.
Any chance of you making a video on mini PCs for video editing?
5425u vs 5625u Which is better for normal every day use and coding and certainly not gaming ? 5425u with 4 cores has base clock speed of 2.7 ghz while 5625u with 6 cores has 2.3 ghz.( Ignore turbo freq except 200mhz diff per core). Laptops have same TDP 15w. Does having more cores produce more heat and throttle thereby reducing performance and also unnecessarily empty cores are pur to use? I think 4 core should be fine because in Intel 11 gen with more cores more heat.
Is the Ryzen 5 5600U good for emulation? Just curious cuz I'm wanting to get one.
What wallpaper app is this? Looks fantastic!
Thank you!
Budget laptop. Nice 👍 thanx for review. Keep reviewing PC, mini PC, Laptop and more 😘
Heyy is it safe for me to increase the TDP of this chip on any laptop? Can I change the TDP on an HP Pavilion 14 with the 5625u without third party software and also is it safe to do so on other laptops with third party software?
Did you every try Ryzen Control with one of the older ryzens?
I bought one of these with an older Ryzen 3000 for my Sisters Birthday, she is no Gamer and use it for every day stuff, Skype and Foto Editing. For the Price this little Lenovos are great, only thing i was missing was the Ethernet Port, i get her a dongle for this.
Where can I download that awesome wallpaper
Please add GTA V single playser to your benchmarks :) Great vid!!

I got my laptop last Dec for $500, and he seems to have gotten his for around the same price but with slightly better specs. So that would be just around the price you'd be expecting for something like this. You can probably find a laptop with my specs for about $350 to $400 now that the new 5600 Ryzen chips are being pushed out. Mine has a Ryzen 5 5500U and 16 GB RAM. I believe I saw some laptops with a dedicate GPU for $800 open box, and even that would outdo my laptop and the one in this video.
Would it be possible to do a test at lower TDP?
I have a yoga slim 7 13.3" QHD+ with 5600U, it's not even reviewed at all on KZread which is a shame because it's fantastic. It exists in 14" too, more comfortable and makes maybe more sense for the resolution but I was after an ultra portable, not a transportable desktop. 15,6" is fine sitting on a desk, not so much in the backpack.

I loved my Yoga Slim 7 (14") with a 4800u, until the screen cracked randomly. Got a replacement and sold it, using a Zenbook right now with similar specs, and it sucks xD. Lenovo makes great laptops, I guess I was unlucky
Can you play 4k video on external monitor with this laptop?
This is really the same specs on my laptop. But I guess I overpaid on the bestbuy laptop envy and it was on sale. Nice to know I got hope at least to run certain games.
Thx man 🙏
The only gripe I have with this is that it doesn't have that good battery life, but that's really it. I would still probably get this unless they released a newer version with better battery.

Why Direct3D11 instead of Direct3D12? I heard 12 is always better to use in all cases when using DirectX.

I can't wait till they have a budget Ryzen 6800u with no dedicated graphics. Many I see are bundled with a GPU like a 3060ti and the price just screams rich boy. RDNA2 graphics in an APU is a game changer. I might wait until they have RDNA3 apu's which claim to beat out a RTX2060 system.
