Accessorize your lifestyle with the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i. This convertible laptop offers more ways to connect, interact, and immerse yourself in content with a powerful combination of performance, connectivity, and entertainment. Take advantage of the latest 11th Gen Intel® i3 Core™ processor and 128GB of blazing SSD storage on this thin, light 2-in-1 laptop that goes anywhere you do.

Thin bezels, along with crisp visuals on the full HD display, make the IdeaPad Flex 5i a great choice for immersive entertainment. You'll love the rich sound of user-facing, Dolby Audio™ speakers. The 360° hinge lets you position your convertible laptop into the best configuration for your needs, be it laptop mode for everyday computing, tablet mode for touchscreen interaction on the 10-point multi-touch display, or tent mode for streaming your favorite movie or show.

This slim touchscreen notebook delivers a ton of connection options as well! From the latest WiFi connectivity to Bluetooth® 5, USB 3.1 and USB C ports, HDMI™, a 4-in-1 card reader, and an audio jack, you'll never need to worry. And, if you're concerned about privacy, simply shut the physical shutter to close the 720p webcam. Take your Windows laptop everywhere you go with a 10-hour long-life battery and quick charge boost to keep you going.

RTINGS

If you find a Chromebook limiting or prefer a Windows laptop, we recommend the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14 (2020). It's a 2-in-1 convertible laptop with a 360-degree hinge and a thin and light design that makes it easy to carry around. Its 53Wh battery can easily get you through a typical eight-hour workday as it lasts a little over 11 hours of light productivity or nine hours of video playback. If you perform more demanding tasks and need to plug it in, its USB-C power adapter is also compact and lightweight.

As you might have guessed, it has a 14 inch screen. It looks sharp even though it's only 1080p, and it provides plenty of room for split-screen multitasking. The screen brightness is so-so; it's enough for most indoor settings but not well-lit environments or outdoors in broad daylight. The keyboard feels great to type on for an extended period, and the touchpad tracks decently well. It supports pen input if you want to take notes or draw, but you have to purchase the pen separately or find a bundle deal that includes one.

Performance-wise, the 6-core AMD Ryzen 3 4300U CPU is powerful enough to handle most light productivity tasks like text formatting, web browsing, and video playback. 4GB of memory is acceptable but not ideal, so you have to limit the number of apps or browser tabs you run simultaneously. If you can afford to spend a little more, it's best to go up to 8GB. So, if you're looking for a Windows laptop that's easy on the wallet, this one is worth considering.

If you're looking for a more budget option, we recommend the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14 (2020). It's an older, discontinued model that you can still find at an affordable price. It's available with AMD Ryzen 4000 or Intel 10th Gen CPUs, which are still powerful enough to handle general productivity tasks and media consumption. It supports pen input (any Wacom AES stylus will do), though you may have to buy it separately as it doesn't always come bundled with the laptop.

Like most budget laptops, there are a few compromises. In the case of the IdeaPad Flex, it's the display and webcam. Its 1080p screen is sharp but doesn't get very bright, which means glare might be an issue in well-lit rooms, and the web cam's video quality is sub-par as the image looks soft and underexposed. On the bright side, its 53Wh battery lasts about 11 hours of light use, which is more than enough to get you through a typical school or workday.

If you find Chrome OS limiting or prefer working on Windows, get the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14 (2020) instead. It's a portable 2-in-1 convertible laptop with a battery that lasts a little over eleven hours of light productivity or nine hours of video playback. It sports a 14-inch display that looks sharp and provides just enough room for some light multitasking. It isn't a particularly bright screen; it's bright enough for most indoor settings but not well-lit environments or outdoors in broad daylight. You get a spacious and comfortable keyboard, a touchpad with decent tracking, and a wide port selection.

Performance-wise, the 6-core AMD Ryzen 3 4300U CPU is powerful enough to handle most light productivity tasks like text processing, web browsing, and video playback. For Windows, 4GB of memory is acceptable but not ideal, so if you can afford to spend a little more, it's best to go up to 8GB, as you'll get a much smoother experience when multitasking. The memory isn't user-upgradeable, but the storage drive is, meaning you can get a cheaper storage configuration and upgrade it yourself later on. This laptop may be hard to find as it was first released in 2020 and has been discontinued. If you have trouble finding one, there's a slightly more expensive 2021 model with newer and more powerful AMD Ryzen 5000 CPUs on Amazon, which we haven't tested but expect to perform similarly.

I have been looking around for about a week now and I've found these that fit into what I'm looking for which is 8 to 12 gigs of ram and quad core CPU

Looking for a 2-1 to use on the go

 The Inspiron 15 is only available with Intel processors, but you can get the IdeaPad Flex with an Intel or AMD CPU.       The Acer Chromebook 315 (2020) is a 15 inch Chromebook available with power-efficient Intel Celeron CPUs, while the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14 (2020) is a 2-in-1 Windows laptop that comes in a variety of performant Intel and AMD processors. The Lenovo is particularly better for gaming and business tasks, with variants that have significantly more powerful CPUs, the option of a dedicated GPU, and a far superior SSD. Also, the speakers sound better, the keyboard feels nicer, and it supports x86 applications like Photoshop

Looking for laptop that won't slow me down and will keep up for some years. Besides gaming, will be used for normal web surfing, video streaming, and graduate school work.

Edit: added laptop questionnaire


ISO average sized laptop with power

 It will falter if there are a lot of things open at once. But as a general-use machine it offers acceptable performance, and the 2-1 construction with touch capabilities gives it some versatility. Overall I think it's a good machine for what it is.

 It's using an 11th gen Core I3, so for routine uses it's not going to lag too much, however the memory is capped at 4GB in this configuration. RAM is soldered to the motherboard so a later upgrade isn't possible. In practical terms this means web browsing with more than a few tabs will start to stress the computer. It's also very limited for games, between the 128GB SSD and the sole use of Intel graphics you'll be hard pressed to do much more than web gaming

 The machine itself is very light as a result, with what I think is a battery that could use some more capacity if this is a travel machine. With typical use I got about 6-7 hours out of it, which leads me to another item to discuss..

 It is not a performance powerhouse in this configuration.  So bias noted first: I'm a gamer, developer, and I do video/photo editing. My tastes for computers therefore run to the right end of the bell curve, in that for my use cases I prefer GPUs, higher-end CPUs, as much RAM as I can stuff into the chassis, SSDs, the whole nine.  In playing with this machine for some time I have to first say that this is not a machine that will meet my normal needs

Entry Level

I'm so close to pulling the trigger on a Yoga 7i however I keep reading reviews with people having WiFi dropping issues.   Is this a known issue or just user error?

Yoga 7i - Really fell in love with this but have trepidation

 It feels quite a bit heavier than the Microsoft Surface Laptop (v1) that we have. But it feels solid not plasticky and cheap. The keyboard feels nice and the screen doesn't feel like it's going to break off when you fold it back into tablet mode. The awkward thing about tablet mode though is why you're holding it, you're pressing all the keys on the backside

  The laptop hardware itself feels substantial. It's actually a bit heavier than I was expecting. It feels quite a bit heavier than the Microsoft Surface Laptop (v1) that we have. But it feels solid not plasticky and cheap

 That was a fantastic move on the part of Lenovo. Bravo.  The laptop hardware itself feels substantial. It's actually a bit heavier than I was expecting

 It was very sluggish during this process as well. Once all the updates were install however, it seemed much more responsive. Several updates were needed including Windows 10 2H20.  The first thing I needed to do was install Google Chrome so the laptop could be used for schoolwork since the school uses Google Classroom

Very basic but fits our needs
