Another Thumbs Up review for Lisa! Got the one with the Core i7. Battery kinda drains a bit fast. Have charged twice in a day for Zoom meets, just to keep the new battery at 40%.
I just purchased one of these on Amazon to do digital art with when I'm not home. Looks like I made a good choice, I really really searched for a affordable touchscreen laptop with pen support and 16gb of RAM, and this was perfect. Battery life is gunna be a bonus, looks sturdy. Shame about the colors, but Ill just pretend its more saturated until I cant review elsewhere hah. Great Review!
@@mongocom1735 @Jenny Chen it was 700 too. I just waited for them to restock. it will be back to 599$ then. anyway you can't go wrong with either 4500 or 4700 👌
purchased mine back in March 2021, the same laptop but 11th Gen Intel i7 processor. Still an amazing laptop 3 years later, without any issues facing since day 1.
In Brazil, this machine is weaker - only 8GB of RAM, 256GB of SSD, charger isn't USB-C. But, even in here, for it's price range, it's a pretty good deal. I just bought one. I'm pretty happy so far (ok, ok, only got it for 10 hours....) . I don't like the keyboard layout so much, but I really liked its felling (even with the low travel). At least, it doesn't feel cheap. At least, not as cheap as my last Asus Vivobook felt. It is a solid machine for the price I could affort. And thanks for your awesome reviews :)
I would totally recommend this laptop esp. If your a college student. Been using mine for two week now as a art major and its perfect but it is a bit heavy in tablet mode.
while this is a decent laptop, i would give a big recommendation to the amd version over the intel, a bit cheaper, much better battery life and a lot more powerful. If you want you can play video games on it. I have bought the amd version and its so good. Also, if you go to tablet mode, do you get a clicky sound when you close the laptop?
@@amanrawat2508 its available online, on croma and and alot of other retail stores too, i bought mine from nehru place, but thats mostly because that was the last place i looked at. i would recommend buying it online from a certified seller on amazon or croma. It should be around 60-62k max, there are some for more on amazon but those are just people scalping, or stores taking advantage of the demand, dont buy if its marked up from a shady seller
Thank you SO MUCH for the honesty with the low travel keyboard! Much appreciated! I am HUGE (picky) on keyboards (writer! lol), and I LOVE Thinkpad keyboards, so really nice to hear!
You had those pictures hang in there for years and I've always thought they look like Samsung tablets when I had the Samsung Galaxy Note 2014 it looked identical to the pictures you had hanging in there
Yes, RAM is soldered on, but there is a slot for another DIMM. I actually have one of these in front of me for a customer. It wasnt booting because of that soldered RAM. I had to desolder the chips and replace them. Now it works like a charm. I hate how these companies solder components these days.
How has the durability of the hinge (and the overall build) been? I've heard about the hinge/panel issue and worry about the long-term durability. Any updates?
Thank you.... I like the way you presented this laptop showing what are inside, like the battery seeing that it means I can replace it easily being a diy technician.... 👍👍👍

That's a great video, as usual! Could you also review the Acer ConceptD 3 Ezel? I'm eagerly looking forward to buy one but there are no trustworthy reviews on the internet... Thanks a lot!
Just picked this laptop up with the Intel i5 8gb ram and 512gb ssd for $150 cheaper than the Ryzen version. Fingers crossed it’s a good laptop. Everyone seems to be leaning towards the Ryzen version but is the Intel version also decent?
I got this from Costco. How is your internal microphone? Making videos with the camera all I hear is static. When using zoom the other person hears a high pitched whistling sound it makes these sounds even with the fan off. I’ve seen some people comment on the mic. How was yours?
Thank you soooo much beautiful!! Im first year at college and i was so confused to buy this laptop or not but u made me be sure what should i do ! Thank you so much lov ya 💓💓
Got this laptop in teal (greenish blue) in EU with Ryzen 7 (4700U). Have to look hard for Ryzens, 4800U completely sold out here. Ok review except I would not get Intel, for better or for worse. Looking forward to Ryzen 9 in this form factor -- nothing will touch it including da Carbon and my guess is that the integrated graphics will play AAA well. Not surprised Lisa skipped the gaming part having but an Intel on hand. As for the panel the image is sharp (due to glossy screen) and the contrast also helps the image by pushing 1000 to 1. Love the power under the plain cover.
Doesn't look much different to a yoga c740, even though there's a considerable prove difference. Except for the metal build, how does one justify that machine?
Is this laptop with I7 processor good if I use this laptop for IT programming (coding purpose)? As thinkpad is quit expansive in comparison to this laptop so can I go for this laptop?
Sadly I didn't have pleasant experience with Lenovo Flex5 which I purchased last year from CASTCO. The charging USB port is misbehaving from the beginning, sometimes it works but mostly it doesn't. Apparently it fails to power up the attached USB device. Secondly the laptop battery gets overheated for no reason. It has happened multiple times when the laptop was idle no applications was open except the browser. The laptop was however charging with battery at +90%. The battery compartment gets so hot that it is hard to touch and can easily damage the LCD if lid is closed. Twice it has happened with lid closed as well when the laptop was on standby. The most unfortunate part part is that there was no response from Lenovo on their portal to my help request. I have been using laptops for the 25 years but this was my first experience with Lenovo and honestly extremely discouraging. I would caution all potential buyer to be very careful.
I bought a laptop and the battery is not staying for more than 3 hours. My son uses it for his online classes, and when it is on WiFi and Video classes the battery lasts for around 3 hours.
@@Kay_Emm_ for brand new, that sound like a fair price for it. You can get it cheaper on discount, but it's hard enough just to find them. The ryzen has more cores, but intel still beats it in per core performance.
Excellent review as always! Question: I'm looking for a 2-in-1 for the best stylus writing experience (I do a lot of math problems). I prefer 13in or 14in with 11th gen intel (i5 or i7) because of the xe graphics but will consider other options if they are better for stylus writing. I know surface pro 7 with Microsoft pen has 10th gen intel but will consider it if it has the best writing experience. Thinking of the new 11th gen intel spectre x360 (amoled option) or the dell xps or maybe waiting for the surface pro 8 (headphone jack is a must). So what is the best 2 in 1 combination of 2 in 1 laptop and stylus for writing? Thanks!
Hi Lisa. When it comes to pricing in the US, do you actually pay more than what is mentioned because of VAT/ Tax? My understanding is that, in the US, tax and cost of goods are always kept separately so you only see the total price during the check-out?
Late reply but: In the US it's called a "sales" tax on anything you purchase. Depending on what state one lives in the % is different. Between 5%-9% i believe. I think a couple states have no sales tax. Some states have a "Tax Holiday" usually around back to school time where there is no sales tax on school supplies. Including computers under a certain price. Also, if an online retailer does not have a 'brick and mortar' store (physical store) in the state you are ordering from thete is no sales tax. Some states have recently been trying to eliminate this though. So yes, any time you see a review video of any goods, the price quoted does NOT include sales tax. Hope this helps.
@@johnqpublic1 We actually got it for my brother in law for college. He hasn't had any problems with it besides thinking that the webcam didn't work because he didn't know about the privacy cover
I returned the computer because the color scheme was not crisp enough. I do web development and need Photoshop and the color rendering wants deep/rich enough. I also had some backlight bleeding with the monitor. Overall, this laptop was nice for the price and the spec, minus the other two gripes.
I got the one with r7 4700U, it was the version sold at costco here in Canada for around 1000 cad and it's got about twice the cpu performance in cinebench
Please review the new Dell G7 15 with the i5H and 1660 Ti. It has an 86WHr battery and has the potential to be a great long-battery gaming laptop for under $1,000. I want to know - how comfortable is the keyboard? How is the screen - is it calibrated enough to be okay for photo editing? What is the battery life? Please and thank you!
Trying to decide between Flex 5i 8gb ram 256gb for $899 AUD or Flex 5 ADM ryzen 5500u 8gb ram 256gb for $1200 AUD. Mostly for school but want to play Sims 4, GTA and other similar games, not all the time but definitely want the option. Which variant is best ?
I think she's already reviewed that laptop? Either way, I own the AMD Ryzen version, the Ryzen 7 4700U variant that was exclusive to Costco. My review? It's excellent. I've used it with Win10 as well as System76's Pop!_OS. Screen is meh, but performance is phenomenal and the keyboard is quite nice IMO. You may have noticed that I said "WAS exclusive". To my knowledge the AMD Ryzen SKU has been discontinued as you can't purchase it from Costco/Amazon/Lenovo.com. :(
My lenovo flex 5 model 81x3, I purchased from Costco, 4k screen came out from hinge, broke and now distored. Can I replace it with 1080p screen, as 4k screen replacement is quite expensive?
Is it just me, or is it strange to have the speakers on either side of the keyboard? If you actually use the 2 in 1 feature and flip it around, to either tent it to watch a move or use it as a tablet, the sound is diminished to around half of what it is when you've got it "laptop"style facing you. I wanted to use this to watch movies tent style, but I lose half the sound. Poor design in my opinion. Surprised no one else has mentioned that.
Hi Lisa..after 1 month of using my HP spectre 15"....i had to return it due to screen problem and there was no replacement here...they refunded full money. So...with this $ 2000 on my hand...what do you think the laptop should i put an eye from now until january next year to replace that spectre? (Not a gamer at all)
On Walmart it’s $350 but I don’t know if it’s the real price because it says it’s on sell here www.walmart.com/ip/Lenovo-IdeaPad-Flex-5-14-FHD-Convertible-AMD-Ryzen-3-4300U-4GB-RAM-128GB-SSD-Graphite-Grey-Windows-10S-81X2000HUS/829136096
There is the exact same laptop with ryzen 4500u and 4700u CPUs that is a little cheaper but is a lot faster than the Intel one. I suggest you buy that if it's available in your country.

Trying to decide between Flex 5i 8gb ram 256gb for $899 AUD or Flex 5 ADM ryzen 5500u 8gb ram 256gb for $1200 AUD. Mostly for school but want to play Sims 4, GTA and other similar games, not all the time but definitely want the option. Which variant is best ?
Mam,
can i use this laptop as a designing civil engineering task..... Autocad and revate like software application..???
You can use autocad...because i already use autocad 2021 and autodesk inventor 2021..i also use this laptop as it was my second laptop
Did you buy it? How is it performing?
compare it vs same lenov flex 5 but with amd ryzen
I think she's already reviewed that laptop? Either way, I own the AMD Ryzen version, the Ryzen 7 4700U variant that was exclusive to Costco. My review? It's excellent. I've used it with Win10 as well as System76's Pop!_OS. Screen is meh, but performance is phenomenal and the keyboard is quite nice IMO. You may have noticed that I said "WAS exclusive". To my knowledge the AMD Ryzen SKU has been discontinued as you can't purchase it from Costco/Amazon/Lenovo.com. :(
@@jedbaldwin I'm going to cry :(
My lenovo flex 5 model 81x3, I purchased from Costco, 4k screen came out from hinge, broke and now distored. Can I replace it with 1080p screen, as 4k screen replacement is quite expensive?
Did you say we get it at costco?
Do I get this for collage work or will it not be that good for it
Thank you Lisa for your review. May I know the difference between flex 5 and flex 5i?
i think they are the same model, but cant confirm
Im not sure but i often see that the i5 or 5i are intel models and the 5 are amd
1)Battery backup hours?
2) Available in India?
Will you be reviewing the X1 Nano?
If we compare it with thinkbook 14 core i5 10210 u or 1035g1 which one is the best in all things specialy the material away from tech specs?
I liked the paranoid part about camera :D . To be honest we all have this issue :)))))))).
Is it just me, or is it strange to have the speakers on either side of the keyboard? If you actually use the 2 in 1 feature and flip it around, to either tent it to watch a move or use it as a tablet, the sound is diminished to around half of what it is when you've got it "laptop"style facing you. I wanted to use this to watch movies tent style, but I lose half the sound. Poor design in my opinion. Surprised no one else has mentioned that.
i had this for 3 weeks anything i should know? i have the ryzen 5 4500u Radeon graphics
I bought it today, but the charger is C type. Why so?
Hi Lisa..after 1 month of using my HP spectre 15"....i had to return it due to screen problem and there was no replacement here...they refunded full money. So...with this $ 2000 on my hand...what do you think the laptop should i put an eye from now until january next year to replace that spectre? (Not a gamer at all)
Get a dell xps 15, it’s worth the money if you have $2000 lol
@@blunt3677 na.....15" with 1 Tb SSD (the only option) rises up to 3199 here
Lisa I got the x1 extreme gen 3. They fucked up the keyboard... How.....?!
How much is this laptop ???
PLEASE answer me 😭
On Walmart it’s $350 but I don’t know if it’s the real price because it says it’s on sell here www.walmart.com/ip/Lenovo-IdeaPad-Flex-5-14-FHD-Convertible-AMD-Ryzen-3-4300U-4GB-RAM-128GB-SSD-Graphite-Grey-Windows-10S-81X2000HUS/829136096
Excelente super super that is good video super explanation. thanks from dominican republic
Does it come with the pen ?
You know ; I do need a windows pc to upload 3D content to RUclips and this is amazingly affordable
There is the exact same laptop with ryzen 4500u and 4700u CPUs that is a little cheaper but is a lot faster than the Intel one. I suggest you buy that if it's available in your country.
Merci, was a big help👍💐
Wow you are so smart. Thanks.
Does this notebook have UEFI or BIOS? Can it run Windows 11?
