Great buy for the price

I was still astounded by the quality of the display and the speed of the device. Blown away would be a better description. Also, the battery life is longer than I expected.

Great balance of utilization of hardware resources

This laptop runs like a greatly improved version of the previous versions of ideapad flex 5. All the programs run fine. When deciding about the model, I was a little bit sceptical about the 8GB RAM model, which I ended buying. However, the combination of Windows 11 and a system for good management of hardware resources has resulted in a smooth and fast experience with this laptop.

IdeaPad Flex 5i

I have only had the IdeaPad for a few weeks, but love it. Colors are nice and bright, seemless when going between windows and love the pen feature.

Gets the job done. I haven't seen any issues with it so far. The only downside is certain apps aren't available for streaming

Make the switch.

This is my 2nd Lenovo purchase and I also used them in my job. They are by far the most reliable and fast computer that I work on. If you are using anything else make the change! You won't be disappointed! Love them!!

Great Laptop, Terrible Cooling System

Overall the laptop is really good. The CPU in particular is really good performance for the price. If only they implemented a cooling system that didn't cause it to overheat frequently I might actually be able to use it.

A lemon

This laptop ran slow at most tasks, even loading multiple browser tabs. It was like this out of the box. My last Lenovo was amazing. This one is a total lemon.

Just what the doctor ordered

The laptop works better than expected. Just after I recieved it I was hospitalized due to a leg infection. The laptop has been a lifesaver. Its fast and perfect for keeping up with my studies while confined to a bed.

Excellent quality and value

I shopped around for a while before making a decision, if you compare the features offered on this model to most laptops in this price range on the big online marketplaces, this is an absolute steal! Buying direct from Lenovo, I was able to get everything I need in a laptop for a very reasonable price. Very happy with my purchase so far.

First day overheated so badly it turned off

First day it overheated while charging on a flat desk - got so hot it shut off, and remained too hot to touch (even elevated under a fan) for over 45 minutes. Next day would not turn on. Poor design to have the ventilation under the screen and the legs underneath so small as to not allow the bottom ventilation to function well. Heavy, cheap feeling laptop, but for the price it's nicer than you would think, other than the overheating issue. I disliked the blue, which shows every fingerprint. On the plus side screen was clear and crisp.

Great computer for the price~!

Love it! The only thing is that I had to buy a stand to keep the airflow moving so it doesn't overheat. My last Lenovo didn't overheat...but all in all, it's a great computer!

The IdeaPad Flex 5i is a great PC. It is a 2 in one machine with a touch screen and backlit keyboard. It connects and boots quickly. Only a month old but it is impressive.

Great and Affordable Laptop

By AC F.

I received my computer a few weeks ago. I haven't had a lot of time to use all of the capabilities, but I like the set up. I like to have the flexibility to use it was a laptop of a tablet, the 16" screen is a great size to view documents and it's a very clear display. One of the reasons I went with the 16" is for the number pad. That will come in handy quite often as I do a lot for financial records for my business. Happy with this purchase at a very affordable price!
