Product Information

Lenovo quotes a not-brilliant maximum brightness level of 250 nits on IdeaPad Flex 5s with a Full HD display. The Lenovo is available with much more powerful CPUs and more memory, meaning it can handle significantly heavier workloads than the ASUS. We opened several apps and web applications to see how well it performed when we were multitasking and whether it slowed down, potentially leaving us frustrated.

It’s the world’s largest PC seller and fourth-largest smartphone company, so they know a little something about creating devices that are both powerful and portable. The 94 degrees on the bottom was the peak temperature which is still cool enough to prevent cooking your thighs. Trademarks: Lenovo, ThinkPad, IdeaPad, ThinkCentre, ThinkStation and the Lenovo logo are trademarks of Lenovo.The keycaps are nicely textured, which makes getting comfortable easier, and they’re reasonably snappy, even if there is a bit of flex in the centre of the board.

You can also get the Intel i7–equipped IdeaPad Flex 5i with dedicated NVIDIA GeForce MX330 2GB graphics. We even had the brightness up to the max when we achieved these numbers, so it’s certainly a good choice if you need all-day power. Enjoy video chatting with friends and family—but don’t stress for a second about the webcam when you’re not using it. That isn't surprising considering the display covers only 45% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, a far cry from the 68.com%2Fbusiness%2Fbenefits%2F%3FIPromoID%3DLEN818484%22%20target%3D%22_self%22%20style%3D%22text-wrap%3A%20wrap%3B%22%3E%3Cstrong%3ELe%3C%2Fstrong%3E%3C%2Fa%3E%3Cspan%20style%3D%22text-wrap%3A%20wrap%3B%22%3E%3C%2Fspan%3E%3Ca%20href%3D%22https%3A%2F%2Fadmin. By folding the hinge past 180 degrees, you can prop the notebook up like a tent, rest it on the keyboard portion like an easel, or even fold it completely flat and use it as a tablet. Fortunately, the treble never became tinny so the sonics weren't unpleasant — I just wish there was more low end. On high settings, it barely pushes out frames as quickly as the refresh rate of the screen, and there are a lot of stutters.

Looping a 720p film with the brightness set to 120 nits saw the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 last an impressive 11 hours and 40 minutes. The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14 (2020) is much better than the Dell Inspiron 15 3000 (2020) for most uses. The speakers are mounted on the top side of the deck, so everything sounds great when you’re watching something in laptop mode. 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.

I’ve also covered the launches of dozens of groundbreaking technologies, from hyperloop test tracks in the desert to the latest silicon from Apple and Intel. A physical shutter on the webcam ensures you keep out unwanted attention when you are concerned about your privacy. However, the Lenovo is a productivity-focused laptop only available with a U-series processor designed for ultraportables. Long story short, S Mode can make a lot of sense for schools and businesses, but is probably too restrictive for more general home and business users.

Another point to mention is that the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 is set to Windows 10 S Mode out of the box. The chassis itself is a mixture of metal and plastic, which has a matt finish, which gives a pleasing look and feel.The display supports 10-point Multi-touch and has narrow bezels on the sides while there is a noticeable amount of bezel on the top as well as at the bottom. We found this way too restrictive, so we took it out of S mode as soon as possible and didn’t find any slowing of the machine. The Yoga 7i also has a much longer battery life, lasting 4 hours more in light productivity workloads, and it doesn't get as hot or loud under load.
