Lenovo IdeaPad 5

I have the Lenovo Ideapad 5 with the Ryzen 7 8845HS. I purchased it last year, refurbished from eBay. It has very good battery life, a nice bright screen, is very easy to travel with, and performs very well.

I have good luck with the Ideapad better models (3 or 5).

Parent context: I have a Lenovo Legion Pro 5, which is 5.5lbs without the charger, and a Lenovo IdeaPad 5 with a 780m iGPU that weighs just over 3lbs. Reply: The IdeaPad has excelled so well, I hardly use the Legion anymore, except when I need the bigger screen for editing excel documents. Great little work and travel laptop. I've loaded it up with a ton of couch coop games and it is awesome to have something that is so portable and capable. I'm like the OP, don't really play AAA games, just older stuff, but wanted something that could handle 4 player couch coop games on 4K TVs, and the 780m iGPU absolutely exceeded my expectations.

The Lenovo IdeaPad's distinguishing selling points are its ability to be used like a tablet and supports pressure sensitive styluses. ... This is the model I have, and it has worked great. Use it for office work, online zoom classes, and hooking up to 4K TVs to play couch coop games.

The Ryzen 7 8845HS has the strongest iGPU of the choices, often beating the Ultra 7 155H while pulling less power. ... It is a fun little laptop that can be used like a tablet and supports pressure sensitive stylus input.
