Lenovo Flex 5 Chromebook review: More Chromebook for now and later

 

As its name implies, this two-in-one is a flexible option for work and school with performance to last you beyond the next year.

Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5 review: A $410 laptop done right

 

Cheap Chromebooks are a dime a dozen these days. But how about one that feels like it's worth twice the cost? Enter the Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5.

Responsive keyboard ; Impressive performance ; Great value ; Under three pounds

Bad touchpad ; Mediocre display

Lenovo Flex 5 Chromebook review: midrange done right

 

A sub-$500 standout.

Excellent build quality ; Good performance for the price ; Stylus support

Battery life isn’t great ; Dim display ; Bad audio

The Lenovo Flex 5 Chromebook has a nice chassis and a capable Intel Core i3 processor. It falls short of more expensive competitors in many areas, but it’s good value for the performance and perks that it offers.

Lenovo Flex 5 Chromebook Review

 

Comfortable keyboard ; MicroSD card reader ; Pleasing soft-touch plastic chassis ; Digital stylus support ; Long battery life

Dim 250-nit display ; Uncomfortable touchpad ; Cramped 64GB storage drive

Offering robust connectivity, support for digital pens, and good battery life, the Lenovo Flex 5 Chromebook is a capable 2-in-1 convertible laptop for Chrome devotees.

Lenovo Flex 5 Chromebook review: An affordable 2-in-1 for school or work

 

The Lenovo Flex 5 Chromebook is an excellent value, but beware of subpar screen and speaker quality.

1080p screen with wide viewing angles ; Quiet, snappy keyboard ; Solid performance for the price

Screen has light bleed around the edges ; Speakers are quiet and lacking in bass ; Battery life could be better

To reiterate, this is not a high-performance Chromebook. Its 10th-generation Intel Core i3-10110U processor is, however, a cut above the Pentium- and Celeron-powered machines that sell in the $200 to $300 range. Our benchmark testing turned up some...

Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5 (2020) Laptop Review

 

The Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5 (2020) is a very well-built Chrome OS convertible with a 360-degree hinge. It's very lightweight and compact, so you can easily bring it around to do work on the go. The keyboard feels good to type on, with a good amount of...

Stays quiet and relatively cool under load. Can be equipped with a significantly faster SSD.

Badly performing Intel Celeron CPU. Incompatible with x86 applications. No replaceable parts. Sub-par port selection.

The Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5 performs terribly as a workstation. The port selection is disappointing, with no option to output to an external monitor, and you'll likely need to use a dongle or hub for multiple wired peripherals. Neither the Intel...
