Priced below rivals, Classy design
No Thunderbolt 3 port, Stylus is optional, Keyboard layout not ideal
It's unwieldy, like all 15.6-inch convertibles, but the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5-1570 is an attractive 2-in-1 at a bargain price. If you're seeking a bigger laptop/tablet experience, it's worth grappling with...
Good performance, Very usable and well designed, Excellent screen, Great value
Business-like looks, Treble-heavy audio
This isn't the fastest or the flashiest Chromebook, but it's speedy, well built and feature-packed, with a great screen and a very practical design. It's a great, hard-working Chromebook at a very affordable price. If you're looking for a workhorse that c...
Responsive keyboard, Impressive performance, Great value, Under three pounds
Bad touchpad, Mediocre display

Following the form of Lenovo's slimmer, smaller Yoga two-in-ones, the Flex 5's 15.6-inch display gives you more room for work and, complemented by its speakers, makes it very good for video, music and games. It also has plenty of battery life to get you t
Outside of its 360-degree hinges, the design is basic and it's a bit too big and heavy to use comfortably as a handheld tablet. The exhaust fans do get loud under load

Lightweight and portable, Biometric security, Touchscreen
Upgrades require certified technician
Though it cannot be upgraded by the user directly, the Lenovo Flex 5 offers fantastic performance with a long battery life, great portability, and user-friendly features such as a touchscreen and tablet mode, all for a low cost. For workaholics, students...

Makes great use of the Wacom drivers and its optional Digital Pen, Decent performance and battery life, 4K IPS display option, Doesn't use PWM for any brightness level (AUO B156HAN02.5), Supports PCIe x4 SSDs, WiFi 6 standards, and SD cards
Lacks a Thunderbolt connector, No RAM upgradability post-purchase, 50% sRGB coverage (AUO B156HAN02.5), Poor color accuracy (AUO B156HAN02.5), Its base is a bit twisty
Thankfully, the Wacom drivers seem to be working perfectly, which means that the laptop works great with its Lenovo Digital Pen. So, if you happen to be in need of a 2-in-1 device with a lot of real estate, the Ideapad Flex 5 (15) would do a decent job.Ye...
The build quality is solid, and the top-firing speakers and webcam privacy shutters are nice touches, The keyboard on this laptop feels great to type on
4GB RAM is just not enough for Chrome OS anymore, The screen looks decent during regular use, but if you try to watch movies or other dark content, the light bleed becomes noticable
Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 Chromebook (Core i3)7.5/10Maybe. If the IdeaPad Flex 5 was available in a configuration with the Core i3 CPU and 8GB RAM, I would have no hesitation recommending it as the 13-inch Chromebook most people should buy. The Flex 5 is buil...
Dim screen, Awkward bulk in tablet mode, Aggressive throttling limits performance
The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 isn't a bad machine, just an awkward one. It fulfills every promise, checks every box Lenovo says it will. It is technically a 2-in-1 machine. It's just that the laptop part of this equation works significantly better than the ta...
discrete GeForce MX130 graphics, good build quality; stiff hinges, included Lenovo Active Pen, dual internal storage bays, respectable battery life, accessible internals
lots of empty unused space surrounding the motherboard, proprietary AC adapter charging instead of USB Type-C, constant fan noise; very small cooling solution, PWM on all brightness levels except maximum, very poor Turbo Boost performance, single-channel
