Reviewer score 64%Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 16ACH is a good multimedia laptop in the budget category. The 16-inch monitor with high WQXGA resolution, good quality, and fast response times is probably the centerpiece of this multimedia laptop. No matter what multimedia task is at hand - sound is likely to play an important role. The internal speakers are so poor - their maximum volume is low, and bass is also completely absent.
