A lot of what computer you get depends on your needs. I didn’t expect to like this computer as much as I do. It meets all my needs and overall I am very happy with my purchase 1.5 months later.The Ryzen processor is great. Everything is very snappy and quick which makes it enjoyable to use. Pretty decent battery life for normal usage at around 7 hrs. I really like the touch screen. It is enjoyable to use.My only con if I had to write one would be, it doesn’t have that premium ‘feel’. As in the it uses this hard plastic for most of the material. No finished metal as you would expect on the premium high priced products. But I knew I didn’t care about that. For value of your dollar, I don’t think you can beat this.I needed something that was good for the following:1. Taking Notes2. Decent Display3. Decent Battery Performance4. Browsing the web.5. Light activities such as word docs, excel, etc.6. No gaming though I think this would be able to handle light gaming.This laptop is great and I would definitely buy it again or recommend it to a friend. For the price, it is one of the best you can buy right now. Do your research and I think you find others agree.Cheers,Sean__MD

I love this laptop, after reading reviews and shopping around for a few weeks I decided the Lenovo Flex 5 was going to give me the most bang for my buck.You won’t find a better performing Ultrabook in the $800 range.Equipped with an AMD 4700U 2ghz boosting to 4.1ghz 8 core 8 thread processor and 16gb of 3200mhz ram, this thing is a beast.It’ll play just about any game you throw at it at 60+fpsOn top of that you get a solid keyboard, Lenovo’s trusted FN+Q 3 mode Silent, Battery Saver, and Turbo hotkey functions.A rigid frame, a great trackpad, a fingerprint reader, 720p webcam with privacy lens, and great sounding speakers considering they’re cased inside of a 14 inch Ultrabook.While I do love this laptop I will admit that it’s not perfect.The battery life, while advertised at 10 hours, on this model works out to around 7 – 7.5 hours of moderate use. The models with the 4500u possessors should get closer to 8-9 hour battery life however I’ve only tested the 4700U model.The second caveat is the screen, a 1080p 60hz Touchscreen IPS, while for what it is this screen looks very nice and is very responsive to the touch, It doesn’t get incredibly bright and while it does support HDR playback the screen itself is not HDR and only reaches a brightness of around 250 nits.Another thing worth mentioning is the built in wireless card is wifi 5, however it is swappable, wifi 6e cards are only around $40 so I’d recommend swapping that out if you do decide to purchase this laptop, you mite also want to pick up the optional charger, the one that comes with the laptop uses its only USBC port, while the optional charger plugs into a charger port.Also there is only one M.2 slot so if you want more memory you’ll want to clone and swap the hard drive.All in all I think this is a great laptop and I’m looking forward to using is for many years to come.

It has proven to be exactly what I needed as a replacement to my 5 year old Dell Inspiron. The 8 – core processor with 16GB of DDR4 RAM is amazingly fast, the 512GB SSD is more than adequate, lastly the 1080p screen is a massive upgrade as is the Wi-Fi (I also added a mesh system to my home). There have been complaints about the brightness (250 nits) though, the only way you’d get a brighter screen is to spend a lot more money. I thought I’d miss having an optical drive, but I haven’t noticed its absence.
