    I just bought the Flex 5i - 13.3 screen & 128gb SSD....
    In 2023 for $348.... It's much heavier & I carry it in a bag with handles - but it's so fun to use.....
    Thanks for introducing them.....

      I believe you can use OneNote via Microsoft365 - as it's in the cloud. It doesn't have a stylus. I think you would need a lighting cable to link an iPhone to it (for picture trfs etc) unless you use specific Google developed ios apps.

It runs apps and linux, and will be good until June 2026. So that is a lot of time of use. If you really want a tablet experience definitely go with the Duet. It is amazing for that use case, I have that. My main chromebook is an Acer 713, and it is the absolute best Chromebook I've ever used. However that being said, for its price this Lenovo Flex 3 is an absolute great device for its price. I hope you will enjoy!

We have always taken out extra cover, and sometime during the first lockdown we bought a laptop and realised it was no longer covered for that. I'm guessing you probably just made it before they did that. I've used the phone line for help many a time though so would still take out the cover anyway. Also had laptops replaced when they could no longer be fixed.
