I have always loved Lenovo products. Our church bought this laptop new for use in our children's ministry, directly from Lenovo. During the first week the hinges started making an odd sound. At 3 months, the hinges locked up and I was barely able to get the laptop open. This put pressure on the corners of the screen. At 4 months, the hinges locked completely and the bottom right corner of the screen broke where the hinge pushed through the screen upon opening, disabling the touch screen, and causing the lid to be almost completely detached from the base. After spending several hours speaking to 5 different representatives....and despite the laptop being under warranty (including a premium care upgrade) Lenovo will not cover the cost of the damage.

It is considered "accidental damage." Because I opened the laptop. The only accident was purchasing this product from a company that will not stand behind it.Be sure to look at the Lenovo forums for this model and similar models. It is, unfortunately, a very common complaint. Other than this hardware issue, it was a great computer.

I just learned after having my system for less than a year that it does not stream wirelessly. But it is supposed to be a business system. I was planning to do a work meeting by streaming the meeting to my TV so I could see better as the meeting is all-day, however, I just learned that streaming to a TV as your monitor which many organizations use now opposed to regular monitors is not allowed with this computer. I am very disappointed now as the TV was going to be my second monitor so I could type on my Lenovo Flex while viewing the presentation. This feature was not mentioned as not included in the description of the product and since I have never had a computer that I can remember that did not stream for dual views I did not think one was even made without this ... MoreI just learned after having my system for less than a year that it does not stream wirelessly.

Now I have the difficult task of trying to see two screens on one 14" screen where I will barely be able to read the content. Also, the mic seems to not be very good and people are saying it sounds like someone is banging pots and pans in my background if I do not have a headset on in my meetings.

The spec promises much, but it's important to remember this is a £650 laptop in March 2023 and not a Dell XPS.Screen is OK, and looks much nicer now I've calibrated it, less muddy. Resolution is good for a 16" screen, but viewing angles are less good than expected for an IPS panel. The section housing the screen is metal, and feels solid though slightly too heavy. The bottom section is all plastic, lighter and a little creaky, and doesn't balance well with the screen section. The base pops off without difficulty (and there were no warranty seals - excellent) and I was able to replace the std memory with a 2TB unit.The keyboard is too cramped and the travel is a bit short - really wish they hadn't put a numpad on the RHS. The trackpad is also offset and that ... MoreThe spec promises much, but it's important to remember this is a £650 laptop in March 2023 and not a Dell XPS.Screen is OK, and looks much nicer now I've calibrated it, less muddy.

The trackpad is also offset and that bothers me much more than I expected, with the right edge not responding to taps and requiring conscious movment to find a responsive patch. It also has a loose rattle that i understand is 'normal' with these. The trackpad itself works fine, and is nicely large. I also appreciated the included pencil, which will get some use photo editing.On first startup it only went through 2 rounds of updates, and after an hour everything was fine & ready to go. I made a system restore memory stick using windows, then swapped out the internal memory for a 2TB stick & reinstalled to that without difficulty. Warranty registration transferred across automatically at some stage.Performance is quite acceptable. It's responsive, quick to save and handle some quite big documents (22GB pdf of a magazine for example) and photo editing is quite acceptable. When pushed it gets a little warm, but it's JUST warm, and not hot. I can hear the fans spin up, but as a background murmur. I've had it start up with a warning a few times as though it wasn't shut down properly, trying to go into diagnostics mode, but a restart allowed it to boot normally - something to monitor.This replaces a 2014 Dell XPS15 that was my business laptop. Build and design are a long was from the Dell, and also lower than my wife's S340 with all metal bodyshell and better keyboard. For the price it's acceptable.

This is my second Lenovo 2 in 1, the other being a Yoga 9i customized laptop. I also have two Lenovo AIO desktops, and the duet tablet which I bought as soon as it came out. I'm a Lenovo girl. This particular laptop is the perfect size for me. I love a bigger laptop. I love a number pad I love a good solid mouse pad that is not too sensitive and has space on either side for the hands that doesn't end up being hepatic touch and moving everything around when you don't intend that. I love - & will only buy - a lighted keyboard this lighted keyboard is bright enough I've seen contrary reviews it comes on when you begin to type if you toggle it on first it will dim and rebrighten and you can up the level or dim the level a little bit. The keyboard is well designed with ... MoreThis is my second Lenovo 2 in 1, the other being a Yoga 9i customized laptop.

I love a number pad I love a good solid mouse pad that is not too sensitive and has space on either side for the hands that doesn't end up being hepatic touch and moving everything around when you don't intend that. I love - & will only buy - a lighted keyboard this lighted keyboard is bright enough I've seen contrary reviews it comes on when you begin to type if you toggle it on first it will dim and rebrighten and you can up the level or dim the level a little bit. The keyboard is well designed with the numeric pad it certainly what one who uses this type of keyboard would be used to and it's easy to transition from this to of standard QWERTY board with no numeric pad. My for some reason display has a battery output showing in the top right top corner and the minute I turn it on and unplug it it's 100 and within 1 minute it's 98 and it shows me about an hour and 40 minutes of time it makes no sense I thought I got a bad battery turns out I'm actually getting nine 10 hours of battery use in a full day of using both video and audio with other applications. I wish this was an EVO but it is Intel the processor is fast enough for general use I can have a number of programs running and nothing seems to bog down or lag. I would say immediately download and install your McAfee or whatever antiviral software you're going to be using and also I recommend lenovo's accidental plan and their care plan for the life of your computer. I love that a pen can be used I wish it had a garage for the pen I have not found it to work with my Lenovo pen, so I am still trying to figure that out. And one sweet spot I haven't seen anybody mention is that this computer has no w land not just Bluetooth but it has data built in. That's a big big benefit for this price point of a computer. I find myself using my little five eye more than my yoga just because I love the size I love the feel it's my go-to laptop right now and my yoga is going to be just carefully used for the business workings I need it for and this is going to be my everything else laptop. If you're looking for a great laptop at a really good price point you can't go wrong with this. The only downside is the 8 gig soldered and therefore not upgradable ram 16 would have been just right for this machine and 32 would be optimal. The big benefit is that it does have an SD slot lot of computer don't this has several USB has USB c it has audio Mic Jack which you're not finding in a lot of computers these days so it has a lot of the good things that are being eliminated that we have been used to having in our machines. Charging is very fast see charger awfully quick no complaints and like I said the battery does last a good deal of time you're going to get your days worth out of it and then you can charge it up lickity split. In my mind Lenovo makes the best two in ones. I think Lenovo is trying to give us everything that they can in this machine and keep the price low and still keep it sleek and beautiful. With the lighted keyboard the number pad the touch screen the pen capacity the WLAN several USB ports the seaport the SD slot the headphone mic Jack I don't see how you can go wrong. I gave it four stars only because I think 16 gigs of RAM for machine like this is necessary and I think that it should at least be upgradable if they're going to start it at 8g. And I wish it were Evo. Other than that it's a five-star machine especially for the price. So if you're on the fence and you're really looking for something grab it.
It's just ok. I LOVE Lenovo & purchased a laptop about 7-8 years ago. It was very thin and quite large (perhaps 16"+) 2-in-1 that I LOVED-LOVED for a decent price.

But, It started to come apart after 6 years of usage and traveling from all over-constant PCS'ing.I still have because don't wanna rid of it, it powers up but touchscreen unusable.Anywho, saw this one, priced differently-mush lower then now, so purchased based off reviews and even though it's a bit bulkier then expected, I purchased because I love the brand.It's just OK as It's always connected to my home wi-fi and constantly losing wi-fi.

Very inconvenient when it's hooked to the main wi-fi and secondary one. Also, the keyboard light goes off periodically which is inconvenient and I CAN'T get it to stay on; even when typing, the keyboard lighting goes away.The battery is a whole other issue too. I can use after charging and then lock, when returning after a few hours, the battery is drained to less then 1/4%.I'd recommend this to others but it's not for me. I'd purchased because of low price point and local store availability-ASAP & needed due to previous 2-in-1 device screen starting crack.Lenovo is hands-down one of the top brands in my book so I'm waiting for a 17"+ 2-in-1 laptop to be introduced during the holidays at a very-very, comparable price (wishful thinking)!!!
I've been using the Lenovo ideapad Flex 5 for around 6 months. I use it for business, usually running 3-4 different software programs, often in PowerPoint working with images. Compared to my 4-year old Dell XPS, I thought I'd have a much better experience with the Lenovo. I liked my Dell a lot, but the trackpad became very difficult to use (do they wear out?). On the Dell, it was very difficult to see the arrow on the screen as I tried to move it around, and I often resorted to just touching the touch screen to click buttons or place my cursor where I wanted it. The Lenovo is better on that score. But it has another nit that I absolutely hate. The clickable are on the trackpad is tiny. You have to click in just the right spot on the very lower left corner to get it ... MoreI've been using the Lenovo ideapad Flex 5 for around 6 months.

The Lenovo is better on that score. But it has another nit that I absolutely hate. The clickable are on the trackpad is tiny. You have to click in just the right spot on the very lower left corner to get it to register as a "click." If you click and it doesn't take, which is often, then the editing drop down appears in the middle of the screen, and you have to click out of that, usually by touch, to continue typing. This trackpad situation is almost bad enough to get rid of this laptop and get something else.I am a pretty fast typist, and it seems when I type quickly, the sticky key window pops up and I can't proceed until I close the window. Maybe there's a way to disable this, but doesn't seem it should do that in the first place. Also really annoying.As I said, I use PowerPoint a lot. I don't know if it's the laptop or what, but working in images is slower than I'd like, and even when using a wireless mouse the response between mouse and laptop is slow. Maybe a hardware/software issue causing the response delay, but I would think a relatively powerful little PC laptop should be able to handle a wireless mouse (with new battery) without a lag.I do really like the numbers n the keyboard and the keyboard features. Very intuitive.
I wasn’t going to leave a review but I noticed all the reviews were from people who recently purchased this laptop. The problem with this laptop seems to appear after sever months of use. The hinges fail. Check other sites for reviews. In my case, a screw stripped out and damaged the screen. My laptop never left my house, it was babied and in perfect condition. Never dropped or taken anywhere. The only damage was my greasy finger prints on the touch pad. One day I opened the laptop and the hinge failed. I found a screw stuck underneath the bezel, I tried to screw it back in but it was stripped. I still had 4-5 months on my basic warranty. I reached out to Lenovo and was told the damage would be considered my fault and therefore not covered. I suppose it was my fault ... MoreI wasn’t going to leave a review but I noticed all the reviews were from people who recently purchased this laptop.

I suppose it was my fault for opening the laptop but it wasn’t from improper use or mishandling. I really liked the laptop, but after seeing so many reviews from people experiencing the same issue I can’t recommend this product until Lenovo owns up to the deficiencies in the product. At one time I was going to send this in hoping they would stand behind their product but the reviews tell me this won’t happen. Do your research, see what the reviews are like after several months.
I bought this PC because it advertised 3 USB ports as well as and HDMI out port for an external monitor. 1 USB-C port and 2 USB-A ports. At the unboxing I discovered that the USB-C port is being used for the power supply making it unusable. There was a totally unused DC power connector that wasn't being utilized, and this would have required the purchase of an additional 65 watt universal power supply costing over $60. Stupidest thing I have ever seen. I had to return it and got a Dell laptop (cheaper) that had a real power adapter cable. This thing also turned itself on the moment that I opened the lid to look at the keyboard, and I had NOT touched the power on button yet.

Many reviews I see for this great machine (here and other sites) are on things that could be understood if researching a computer prior to buyingPros* 14” screen is a great travel size and* 2 forms of power available* good sound for priceCons* has the occasional hiccup when moving between traditional operation and tablet mode* usb type c is not display port ready (only date, but I knew it when I bought it)The usb pen holder is universal to hold thinner pens but doesn’t allow the active stylus to stand vertically. The pen gets in the way of the other usb and it limited to the lid and base’s closing magnets to be semi out of the way* Stylus for flex uses an AAAA battery which is hard to find immediately if it dies you are not going to Walmart and ... MoreMany reviews I see for this great machine (here and other sites) are on things that could be understood if researching a computer prior to buyingPros* 14” screen is a great travel size and* 2 forms of power available* good sound for priceCons* has the occasional hiccup when moving between traditional operation and tablet mode* usb type c is not display port ready (only date, but I knew it when I bought it)The usb pen holder is universal to hold thinner pens but doesn’t allow the active stylus to stand vertically.

(Lenovo) please consider a rechargeable solution.I personally bought a mini dock with more x4 usb 3.1 and usb type c with charging on it and found everything I neededThe lack of display is the biggest downfall for a broader spectrum of utility, because of this external GPU capabilities are not there and onboard IO for have leaving two screens is limited.The fixes to these problems for the manufacturer and consumers:(Lenovo) add display to the usb type c or one of the usb 3’s(Consumer) buy a hdmi Y-splitter to have two screens. I suggest also buying touchscreen displays so you don’t loss that utility on extra screensThis machine does great and deserves great reviews, I have no issues with it that is worth not giving it a five star.My model also came with 16g of ram and these really should only come in 8g and 16g, the option for 4g at this point shouldn’t exist (Lenovo’s problem to fix) the min they should put in these should be 6g if they are going to be soldered but I really do think it should be lowest 8g, it’s literally only $40-50 for 8g stick of ram and $80-90 for 16g so it isn’t worth the cost of labor and manufacturing to still install/solder 4g sticks
I had this laptop for about 8-9 months before it started having problems. Before then, it was a joy to use. Fast processing, good memory, sensitive touchscreen. It was my daily driver for work and school and performed beautifully. After a few weeks, however, I started noticing a loud click whenever I opened the laptop. There weren't any signs that something was wrong, so I continued using it as normal.This continued for several months until, finally, I opened the laptop like I had many dozens of times previously only to find that the screen had popped out of its enclosure, exposing the internal wires and other hardware (see pictures). Since that time, the laptop can no longer be opened without the same thing happening.

Since that time, the laptop can no longer be opened without the same thing happening. And, unfortunately, the screen can't simply be popped back into place. Also, there is clear picture distortion on the screen when this happens. Imagine having a laptop that works fine until you try to open it, at which point it literally comes apart. Frustrating. I can no longer take this computer anywhere because it busts open a little more each time I try to use it.To be clear, the laptop has never been dropped or received any impact beyond being placed gently on a table surface, as evidenced by the lack of any kind of scratches, dents, or scuff marks to the computer. Rather, this issue was caused simply by opening the laptop for normal use. Therefore, this problem appears to be due to a manufacturing defect. Perhaps some internal screw or piece of metal frame has broken under the "stress" of being opened.You might think that this is exactly the sort of thing that Lenovo's 1-year warranty is for. Unfortunately, you'd be wrong. When I contacted Lenovo's customer support, complete with photos, here is the response I received:"Upon checking on your issue, this kind of damage is something that we can consider as physical damage or an accidental damage on the computer. The current warranty entitlement of the machine registered appears to be a standard warranty only, which means it only covers the hardware failures on the machine. When a warranty is identified to be standard, it means it does not actually cover any kind of physical or accidental damage."If Lenovo considers opening their laptop a cause of "physical damage or accidental damage" to the computer, this speaks very poorly of its manufacturing quality. I have owned 4 previous laptops before this one (none from Lenovo), and all of those lasted at least 5-10 years, only being replaced due to their aging specs. I absolutely cannot recommend a laptop that breaks apart after being used for a few months.Recently, I checked the reviews of this laptop on website of the online retailer where I purchased it. They are filled with people saying they are having the exact same issue with the hinges. This is a known issue and Lenovo is apparently hanging its customers out to dry.
