Lenovo Flex 5G review: A murky glimpse into the laptop’s future

The Lenovo Flex 5G promises the fastest always-connected speeds around, but doesn't quite deliver them yet.

The best battery life we've seen ; Solid build quality ; Good keyboard and touchpad ; Built-in 5G connectivity

Performance is mediocre ; App and driver incompatibilities are a pain ; 5G is still hard to find

Lenovo Flex 5G review: Stunning battery life ruined by Windows on ARM

The Flex 5G has incredible battery life and solid cellular internet connectivity, but it's too expensive to be worth buying in a global pandemic and recession. Especially since Windows on ARM still needs a lot more work to be a reliable daily-driver.

Incredible battery life ; Reliable cellular connectivity

Expensive ; Hit-or-miss app compatibility ; Finicky performance

Lenovo Flex 5G Review

Excellent battery life ; 5G connectivity ; Stylish design ; Comfortable keyboard ; Fanless, silent operation

Expensive ; Occasional app compatibility issues and sluggish performance ; Limited availability of 5G coverage ; No Wi-Fi 6 or Thunderbolt 3 port ; Relatively cramped 256GB storage drive

Lenovo's first 5G PC promises superfast download speeds (it depends very much on your location) and delivers extraordinary battery life. But the Snapdragon 8cx-based Flex 5G is an otherwise average 2-in-1 convertible with a whopper of a price tag.

Lenovo Flex 5G review: The first 5G laptop offers crazy battery life, as well as compromises

The Flex 5G is the one—and for now, only—laptop to tap into Verizon's blazingly fast 5G speeds, but its Snapdragon 8cx processor will hold you back.

Blisteringly fast 5G data speeds ; Bright FHD display ; Incredibly long battery life ; IR facial recognition and fingerprint reader

Middling productivity performance ; Limited Verizon 5G coverage ; No USB Type-A ports ; Shallow keyboard

The Lenovo Flex 5G comes with exactly two USB ports, and they’re both SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps Type-C connectors, situated on the laptop’s left side.

Lenovo Flex 5G review

Just like 5G, the Flex 5G needs time to grow

Record-setting battery life ; Verizon 5G support ; Lightweight, premium design ; Bright and vivid display

Sluggish performance ; Shallow keyboard ; App compatibility issues ; Pricey

Lenovo's Flex 5G is the first laptop with Verizon 5G, but those blistering wireless speeds are counterbalanced by sluggish performance and compatibility issues.

Lenovo Flex 5G Review: Solid Arm Laptop, but 5G Isn’t Ready

The Lenovo Flex 5G is the nicest Arm-based Windows PC, but the 5G isn't all that notable when networks aren't built out.

Lightweight design ; Comfortable keyboard ; Incredible battery life

Windows on Arm doesn’t work with all software ; 5G networks aren’t built out enough ; Verizon only

The Lenovo Flex 5G is the best Windows on Arm laptop with incredible battery life, but it still has limitations and 5G on a laptop just isn’t worth it yet.
