With excellent performance for its low price, a great keyboard and trackpad, and a compact, light body, the Lenovo Flex 5 is the Chromebook to buy.

Consumer Reports

This 13.3-inch convertible has an Intel Celeron processor, 4GB of memory, and 64GB of flash storage. Performance is midrange but solid for the price.
Our testers noted that while the 11.5-hour battery life for web browsing is below average compared with the competition, it’s still long enough to get through the average workday (and then some) without too much worry.

Best Chromebooks of 2022

Looking for something for under $500. Preferably a 2 in 1 that can flip in to a tablet as most of what I do is either drawing/art in tablet form, or writing, researching, organization, etc. So I’m looking for a Chromebook that I can carry with me pretty much everywhere as my utility tech. On the go for drawing, writing, killing time on the web, etc. A few years back I built a PC from the ground up but admittedly have kind of lost a lot of what I learned and researched about PC’s at the time. So now I’m a little out of my depth, but at the time I was loving the Ryzen, that’s what I’m using currently, but don’t know much about what current tech is available and what’s out there. So any point in the right direction would be super helpful.

As a long, long time MacBook user, I’m looking to pick up my first Chromebook. I want something that can handle my day to day that won’t need to be replaced in a year.

 The price is unreal; $409 for a 10th gen i3, this thing is just as fast if not faster than older gen i5 and i7 computers. RAM hasn't been an issue, nor 64 GB memory. I store all of my documents on Google Drive, so storage is not an issue. Additionally, there is a microSD port on the side, but I decided not to use it since the SD card isn't completely flush

Cheap, Practical, Fast, Long Battery, Beautiful Engineering

TLDR: Since ryzen 5000 probably won't have thunderbolt for external gpu, so i won't be able to do any decent gaming, and therefore won't be able to take full advantage of the faster cpu. Is it worth the wait? How long of a wait will it be?

I'm looking to get a great drawing 2 in 1. My budget is under $800 so I've narrowed it down to an HP Envy x360 with a ryzen 4500U, or maybe a levono flex 5 but i much prefer the build quality of the envy

Is ryzen 5000 worth the wait?

Best recent Chromebook under $400?

It is, however, a bit on the large side as 13-inch Chromebooks go, at 0.7 inches thick and a weight just under three pounds. (It’s just slightly lighter than the Spin 713.) That makes it a bit heavy to hold as a tablet for long periods of time, and you’ll want something smaller if you’re looking for a device you won’t notice in your backpack

I was surprised by how well my Flex 5 unit performed. The Core i3 flies. I saw no visible sluggishness or slowdown, even when I was running multiple programs like Adobe Lightroom and Google Photos on top of a heavy load of Chrome tabs and Android apps. The experience wasn’t noticeably different from that of using the Spin 713 with a Core i5 and an SSD (though it may make a difference for you if you’re running Linux or using heavier apps)

Lenovo Flex 5 Chromebook review: midrange done right

I’m new to the world of Chromebooks, but I think Lenovo Flex 5 at ~$300 is a good deal. Someone correct me if I’m wrong!!

Hello fellow chromeos! My current well loved Acer chromebook has its AUE date in September. I'm looking to get my next Chromebook up and running. Has anyone taken a look at the Amazon Prime Day deals on Chromebooks? Which one would you go for? I currently have an 11.6" monitor and like the smaller size.

Best Prime Day Chromebook Deal?

I played a couple of Android games from the Google Play store and didn't experience any slowdowns doing that, either. And if you want to take advantage of Google's streaming game service, Stadia, or Nvidia's GeForce Now service, you'll appreciate the Flex 5i's fast Wi-Fi 6 support (though you'll likely need a new router to take advantage of it).

Overall performance is strong and I didn't experience any sluggishness while working in Google Docs and Sheets, streaming video or music and doing basic photo and video edits. Battery life is pretty good, too, coming in at 10 hours, 48 minutes in our streaming video test. For more typical work use, I'd expect it to last about 6 to 7 hours before needing a charge, but it's all going to depend on what you're doing.

Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook review: More Chromebook for the money

Got the Chromebook Lenovo Flex 5. Best battery I've ever had in a laptop, definitely the best tech purchase I have made in a while.
