Lenovo Flex 5 14 Laptop, 14.0 FHD Touch Display, AMD Ryzen 5 5500U, 16GB RAM, 256GB Storage, AMD Radeon Graphics, Digital Pen, Windows 10H

I use this laptop when I travel, mainly for checking email, weather, and watching movies. I dont use it for anything that needs extensive processing power, so I cant speak to that, but it suits my needs very well.

Managed to get it for $600, what a steal for the price !

PROS:

This Ideapad Flex 5 is a very powerful laptop/tablet convertible for the price. It offers tons of flexibility and options in a nice looking system that will satisfy most users. The use of a Ryzen 5  5500U is a welcome addition. I would have liked to see the more efficient Ryzen 5 5600U based on Zen 3 instead but that would have raised the price some. There are definitely a few issues that I have with this laptop, most notably, the screen and USB-C port. If these two issues could be addressed, this laptop would be a sure-fire winner.

The laptop is decent albeit somewhat flimsy, but overall the worst part is the implementation of the stylus holder. Not only does the holder clip open constantly under its own tension, but it plugs into an actual usb port. Its point of weakness is the structural integrity of a usb port, and it breaks than you break your USB port as well.

Laptop is lightning fast and really better than expected. Its only been 2 days so ill update if anything changes. Right size for what I wanted. Not to heavy. Touch screen works as expected. Setup was super fast and everything work very quickly. The high end components definitely make this one shine.

My work provides us with Lenovo notebooks for meetings, so I have experience using an older model notebook. This new Flex model Ideapad, however, blows anything I’ve used out of the water. I have already taken it on a flight, where it fits neatly into my laptop backup as a carry-on item. It’s such a lightweight machine. The battery life is tremendous; I use it for multiple hours on multiple days of the work week without even thinking about recharging it. I think I’ve gotten it to last usually 9 hours or so on my current energy settings. The touchscreen is beautiful; I recommend using the included stylus over your finger for better accuracy and wider variety of functions. I didn’t quite give full points to the fingerprint pad that is used for sign-in. It’s quite easy to set up but it has been finicky every once in a while and will not unlock with my print applied. In that instance, however, it is easy to sign in using a 4-digit PIN. Voice/Cortana features are included and quite intuitive. My favorite feature of this, however, has been the flex screen. I use it quite often away from work to watch games using my MLBTV account because the flex mode makes for excellent TV/sports viewing without having to use my primary home TV. This allows us to watch our regular programming on our main TV while I can catch baseball action on the Lenovo off to the side. What a valuable, high-quality product from Lenovo.

This laptop is decent but there’s nothing inherently great about it.

First of all I would like to mention this laptop comes with the lenovo Digital Pen included. I havent tried using it yet, I will update this after. As of right now, I love this laptop! I think its a great laptop, it does come with AMD Ryzen 5500U (Model 82HU0036US), Ive used it for zoom meetings while running other apps in the background, for editing and illustrating using Adobe and I havent experienced any lagging. The screen is extremely responsive when using it as a tablet, it runs as smoothly as it does when using it in laptop mode. Overall, I would recommend it. 10/10. If your think about buying it, BUY IT!! Its great!! Also, I bought it from IRONHILL TECH.

I got this mainly for doodling with Photoshop and a lightweight thin foldable laptop and this is absolutely the best option! Ive had no issues since getting this delivered and the screen quality is superb! I have oily fingers and was afraid this screen was going to be more monitor-like than tablet-like but i was pleasantly surprised when i felt it was like a tablet! Definitely a great purchase!
