Lenovo Flex 14 2-in-1 Convertible Laptop, 14 Inch FHD, Touchscreen, AMD Ryzen 5 3500U Processor, Radeon Vega 8 Graphics, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB NVMe SSD, Win 10, Black, Pen Included

I bought this to replace my aging laptop for school work. I have a custom desktop I use for gaming, so I just needed something that was very portable for school with a 1080p screen and good battery life. This has been everything I hoped it would be. Light, fast, and a surprisingly good touchscreen and pen that wasn't a selling point for me but which I now use frequently for scrolling through e-textbooks or working out homework problems. Lenovo really built a fantastic laptop. Pros: -Feels solid and durable, not hard, brittle plastic like a lot of budget laptops -1080p touchscreen and pen are both excellent -Backlit keyboard -Battery life easily gets me through a school day and several hours of homework -The Ryzen 5 CPU is genuinely fast and more than enough for multitasking, and the integrated GPU is faster than Intel's offering in the i5 version. -Relatively easy bottom panel removal for RAM or storage upgrades -Fingerprint reader is a nice feature -Has all the basic ports most people need: USB, HDMI, and SD card reader. Even has a USB-C port. -Feels very quick to boot and load programs with the SSD -360 degree screen tilt lets you adjust it to any angle you want or go into tablet mode Cons: -Maximum screen brightness is not all that bright, but it's typically not a problem for indoor use. The screen also has a glossy finish instead of matte, which I prefer for its anti-reflective properties. -The pen comes with a holder that slides into one of the USB ports, but actually using it to hold the pen blocks both USB ports on the right side of the computer, leaving you with only a USB-C port on the other side -No number pad, though that would have been difficult to squeeze into a 14-inch chassis

This is a GREAT laptop. It is very fast due to its Ryzen 5 processor which is as good as Intel's i5. The keypad is better than most - better than the macbook pro's for sure. It also includes a fingerprint scanner which is super fast. The battery life is very good; I personally get about 8 hours. I know that most people were complaining about it as I read the reviews before buying it, but it's good. You have an option to hide the camera which I like as I rarely even use it. The only thing I don't love is that it has 8 GB of ram and AMD takes about 2 for the graphics I think. This is not a big deal. Most people don't even notice it. If you are someone who uses a lot of ram than you can easily upgrade it. You can buy another 8GB ram stick and replace it with the 4 (because only 4 are accessible ). This would give you 12 total(10 to use). I also grabbed the Asurion accident protection plan for $50 as I found out the hard way with my last hp laptop that if you drop it or spill something on it, you're done. You don't really need the protection plan if you're super careful but it doesn't cost that much and they're highly rated. The laptop also came with a stylist that works fine; not as smooth as my hp pen but I think that's due to the display begin brand new. I also love the 360 tablet mode although the speakers are not the best. Again this is not a major drawback since I rarely even use the speaker as I always have headphones on when watching videos. One thing I forgot to mention is that the charger is super fast. It charges my entire laptop to 100% in less than 90 min. I would recommend this to everyone especially at this price point.

I really like most things about this unit- the trackpad works well, the keyboard is great, the pen is pretty good, runs older games well and is fast for everyday use. My main complaint is the battery life is no where near 8 hours, maybe 4 1/2 to 5, the battery does charge quickly though, but the actual battery life is pretty low, that is why I only gave it a 4. And the fact it uses an sd instead of micro sd card.... the card sticks out the side, why not micro????? bad design. Other than that I am overall happy with this purchase, the 2 in 1 is well made and works great.

I've had the laptop for several weeks. 14" is the perfect size for me and the laptop has been performing extremely well. It is hard to beat the specs, but I probably would purchase the Ryzen 5 with 12 GB RAM if I had to do it again. I upgraded to 12 GB myself, but the net price might have been more. What I like: The Ryzen 5 processor can handle running Python programs quite easily.Unlike another reviewer, I have not seen the CPU go above 20-25% unless launching certains apps (quickly drops back when app is loaded). The touchscreen is very responsive and the included pen works well. The fingerprint reader works extremely fast. The keyboard is very nice, but touch-typist complain about shallow travel. The laptop has fast charging which works well, HOWEVER, I do need to go into the Lenovo app to enable it. The laptop feels well made and is reasonably light. What could be better: I haven't spent time tuning settings, but the trackpad is usable but not great. It's often easier to just touch the screen (hence no tuning). The laptop comes with a Realtek 8822BE WiFi card. I was able to update drivers and change settings so that it was reasonably fast and fairly reliable, but I did eventually have the WiFi card swapped to an Intel 9260. Since doing so, the speed has improved slightly and there haven't been any drops. Finally, the battery life is probably only 5-6 hrs. It would be nicer if it was 8-10 hrs. The fast chargin helps. I just wish I didn't have to enable it every time I had to use it. For me, it came down to this laptop or the Huawei Matebook D 14" with Ryzen processor, which I actually purchased for my daughter in college. Both cost < $600 and both were great values.. The Lenovo has better specs and more features, but the Huawei has a nicer alumina build (looks like a Macbook), is slightly lighter, and has a longer battery life. I do not regret either purchase.

Rapidísima, no tiene tanta memoria de disco duro pero no hay problema si utilizas algún servicio de almacenamiento en la nube. El RAM es suficiente pero no puedes tener tantas ventanillas abiertas a la vez, pues la pantalla se congela un segundo y se "reinicia" lo que explorabas, como un video, por ejemplo. Mi calificación es 5/5 porque realmente es una excelente computadora de trabajo y/o para estudiantes. Sí corre un par de videojuegos, pero no esperen mucho en cuanto a gráficas.

Awesome vfm!

TLDR: I don't think you're going to find a better bang for your buck on a laptop right now. Performance: The 3500u offers pretty good performance without too much thermal throttling: the cpu trades blows with my desktop computer (FX-8320) at less than a tenth the power draw. Graphics is useable - the vega 8 gets the job done in graphic design tasks just fine and holds up for light gaming. Comes with a 256gb *NVME* ssd, the oem version of the 960 evo if I'm not mistaken. It's not too of the line anymore, but it's still fast. Not big enough for what I need, but it's a decent size, and it's upgradeable. The ram is probably the biggest drawback for this machine. It comes with 8gb, two of which is dedicated for the gpu, leaving only 6gb for system. The other drawback is that it's arranged as 4gb soldered, and a 4gb sodimm. You can upgrade the one stick, but once you go over that 6gb of ram, you're going to drop down to single channel (though that's still a fair bit faster than dropping to a swap file, even on an nvme ssd). It's also 2400 cl17, which isn't as fast as it could be, but not the absolute worst. I'll update in the future with how it works when I add a 16gb stick of 2666 cl15. User experience: Display is very good. Good brightness, good colour accuracy, good backlight consistency, good dynamic range, good viewing angles. It has an accurate touch sensor and a Wacom digitizer and comes with the Wacom pen (a nice value add on a budget machine like this). The pen holder sticks in a USB port and is next to worthless, but it fit just fine in a pen slot in my laptop holder. My only complaint is that the liquid crystal distorts when you press on it with even moderate pressure - fine for the touch screen, but you'll have to adjust your pen curves if you're used to doing art with a bit of a heavy hand. The digitizer is also accurate, but not the best I've ever used. Trackpad is pretty good, though it occasionally mistakes my two- or three-finger taps for a regular click, and the right area is very small. The keyboard is excellent, and has a white backlight that you can toggle through off, low, and high with a hotkey. Nice shape, good feel, decent travel, sensible layout. The fingerpint scanner for windows hello is snappy and pretty accurate. I go from cold boot to desktop in under ten seconds. It was under 7 when I got it, but the ssd is almost full now. Not a lot of bloatware, just macafee (which I immediately uninstalled and replaced with Kaspersky) and Lenovo Vantage (an app with recommendations for bloatware that you can download on your own) and Lenovo Utility (for driver updates, bios updates and the like). The 360 hinge feels solid, but I do find myself often hitting something on the touch screen or keyboard when I'm flipping it over. The keys get deactivated once it's flipped, but it takes half a second or so. When in tablet mode it can be a little weird thermally, as the intakes are blocked by the LCD and the exhaust is at the back (underneath the hinges). You'll want to flip it around so that the hinges are up in the air, but that leaves the slim edge pointed towards you making it a little awkward trying to rest your wrist at the bottom. However, even when thermally constrained like that it doesn't get outrageously hot, and the fans don't get unreasonably loud. They'll often stay off under light workloads, and are quiet for most of their operation. It has decent i/o (especially for a slim device): 2 USB type A, 1 type C, headphone/microphone jack (❤️), full-size HDMI out, and an SD card reader. My only complaint is that the card reader doesn't let the cards go fully in, so you can't safely leave a card in there while you lug it around. Build quality is excellent - it's a clean, modern look with the durable, soft touch plastic Lenovo is known for. As I said up top, this is a fantastic laptop for the price. You'd be lucky to get this level of performance and quality for 1000 dollars, and it has a lot of nice-to-haves on top of it.

Gran laptop! Bien construida, el lector de huellas funciona bastante rápido, la pantalla full HD se ve súper bien. Inicia muy rápido, corre juegos recientes de manera decente.

I have used the Lenovo Flex 14 for a week and so far, it has been great. The 14 inch screen is a happy medium between portability and viewing comfort, and the 360 degree flip screen is perfect for all kinds of uses. The included Active Pen works well in OneNote and Drawboard PDF for note-taking, and in Paint Tool SAI 2 for art. The keyboard size is good, and pressing each key feels very satisfying. Watching videos on this laptop is also a nice experience due to the convertability and the good quality speakers. This laptop is fairly light, and I don't feel like I'm breaking my back with it in my bag during long school days. Battery life leaves a little bit to be desired, as I get up to 4 hours with both power saving and battery saver modes enabled, but the quick charge feature makes this a lot more bearable. Performance-wise, this laptop exceeds expectations for my personal needs. Browsing, watching Youtube, voice calls, digital art, light audio processing, and taking notes are all handled perfectly. The Lenovo Flex 14 also performs well in light gaming. On low graphics, I get around 80 FPS in Overwatch and 120 FPS in League of Legends. For $750 CAD, the Lenovo Flex 14 is a great convertible that can handle a variety of tasks. It's hard to beat the value that you get from a laptop at this price point!
