Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i 15.6 Inch FHD Laptop (Intel Core i5, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, Intel Iris Xe, Windows 10 Home S) – Platinum Grey, (82HT0062UK)

Product Information

The chassis itself is a mixture of metal and plastic, which has a matt finish, which gives a pleasing look and feel.

With this laptop, you can easily get your one day work without having to plug in the charger in the middle. We tested the ideapad flex 5 by using it exclusively for a week to work on and enjoy some leisure time with. It tends to get quite hot around the top left of the keyboard under load, but on the bright side, the fan isn't too noisy. A graduate of Middlebury College, I also have a master's degree in journalism and French Studies from New York University. The ENVY x360 throttles under load, while the IdeaPad Flex 5 doesn't suffer from any performance loss.Then you've caught me testing gear and editing reviews of laptops, desktop PCs, and tons of other personal tech. It has a soft-touch finish with metallic coating on the front with small metal Lenovo branding placed towards the right, while the rest of the area remains plain. Side-mounted power buttons are easier to use when the laptop is propped up like an easel, but be careful not to accidentally press the button when you grasp the Flex 5 on its sides. In it, we put a stopwatch on test systems as they transcode a standard 12-minute clip of 4K video (the open-source Blender demo movie Tears of Steel) to a 1080p MP4 file. Like Superposition, 3DMark renders and pans through detailed 3D scenes and measures how the system copes.

Considering that the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 is a mid-ranged device not geared towards gaming, photo editing, or any kind of high-end work at all, the display is pretty good. Weighing in at around 2kg, it is quite heavy for a modern laptop and certainly on the larger range compared to other Lenovo machines.

EMI options available from HDFC, Citibank, American Express, Axis Bank, Central Bank of India, Corporation Bank, HSBC Bank, ICICI Bank, IndusInd Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, RBL Bank, Standard Chartered Bank. However, the color temperature is very close to the standard 6500K target, resulting in a neutral tone. Lenovo claims that the hinge can survive up to 25,000 opening and closing actions over a course of four years, which is 17 times a day on average.

Also, on multiple occasions, the device did not switch to table mode even when it was folded completely - these are software related issues and can be fixed with an update in the near future. The Lenovo is better for the most part because its keyboard provides a better typing experience, its touchpad is more responsive, and its webcam has better video quality. The Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 (2021) and the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14 (2020) are both 2-in-1 convertible laptops with a 360-degree hinge and a 14-inch screen.On the inside, there is powered by Ryzen 5 4500U processor making it one of the few laptops in the segment to sport the chipset. pageComponentDataId":"44dacb82ob8c0-454d-9e4a-9a40bad0b485","pageComponentDataLangCode":"en_us","urlPrefix":"AAAAAAAF","mobileContentDisplay":"collapsed","title":"content from dec29","pageId":"72952486-cff7-4ee0-b794-6df2839b0b4e","message":"","urlEdit":0,"uri":"/FragmentDirectory/subseries-templates/ofp-servicesupport/na-servicesupport-consumer_notebooks. Overall, if you are working from home or office cabin, you should have no issues as such with the IdeaPad Flex 5. The Yoga 7i is a more premium device with a sturdier aluminum chassis, and it provides a better user experience, like a more colorful display, better-sounding speakers, and a more responsive touchpad. And while it’s made mostly of plastic, the Flex 5 still looks and feels like a sleek, sturdy device that’s well worth the investment.

The mic quality is also surprisingly good here, I did not have to use any headphones during multiple meetings I attended over the last few weeks.The panel is a full HD (1,920-by-1,080-pixel) IPS touch screen, which supports inputs from the Lenovo Digital Pen. It's only available with low-power CPUs and GPUs that aren't powerful enough to handle demanding tasks like video editing or 3D graphics. Added mention of the Lenovo IdeaPad 5i 14 (2022) as an alternative with a better webcam in the Webcam and Microphone section. However, the Lenovo has a 360-degree hinge that lets you use it as a tablet, which you can't do on the ASUS. The Lenovo Flex 5 14's screen looks sharp, and while it's on the smaller side, there's still enough space to have two windows placed side by side.
