More good news AMD fans, because not only is the gaming monster ASUS TUF Gaming A15 with Ryzen 7 5800H & RTX 3060 available on Amazon for ₹ 1,03,990, but also the slim Lenovo IdeaPad 5 laptop with the latest AMD Ryzen 5000U mobile processors now available in India.
Lenovo has essentially upgraded the same laptop it launched last year with newer AMD APUs that sports more power than before. So, essentially on the design, display and even battery front, you have the identical specs, but kudos to Lenovo for keeping the prices as low as ₹ 67,397.
While the last-gen is still available for around its launch price of ₹ 58,990, it increases the prices a bit, and for that, you have a newer AMD Ryzen 7 57000U and 16GB RAM instead of 8GB.

It features 14-inch Full HD display (1920×1080) with anti-glare technology & IPS Panel Switching. Also, the screen is somewhat bright enough up to 300 nits; also, if you notice, the laptop has very narrow bezels making more room for the screen in small chassis. The laptop also comes with a 512 GB Samsung NVMe SSD, which should give good read and write speeds.
The AMD Ryzen 7 5700U sports 8 Zen 2 cores and 16 threads, comes with a base clock speed of 1.8 GHz and turbo up to 4.3 GHz across all 8 cores. It is a true monster consuming just 15W TDP, and it features 12MB total cache and has Vega 8 iGPU with 1900 MHz frequency that should help during professional work and low-to-medium end gaming.
The Lenovo Ideapad 5 comes with Windows 10 Home pre-installed and MS Office Home and Student 2019. It weighs only 1.66 Kg, making it ideal for carrying anywhere without sacrificing performance and battery.
Yes, it has good battery life. In fact, the new Ryzen APUs draw less power than Intel ones, while Lenovo promises up to 11 hours; even if you get around 8-9 hours of usage, then it’s more than enough.
For ports, you get 2 x USB-A 3.1 Gen 1, 1 USB 3.2 Type-C Gen 1 (support data transfer, Power Delivery 3.0 and DisplayPort 1.2), HDMI 1.4b, SD card reader, and a headphone/mic combo.
Much like other laptops, it has Bluetooth 5 support, and though the Amazon specs say WiFi 5, as the last-gen was also equipped with Wi-Fi 6, this one too shall be. The slim aluminium case of the IdeaPad Slim 5 gives it a modern feel and comes in a Graphite Gray colour.
