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.

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 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...

Lenovo Flex 5 Chromebook review: Perfectly balanced, as all things should be

hromebooks tend to fall on one of two extremes: on one side, we have budget laptops that sacrifice the wrong things in the name of bargain prices; and on the other side we have Chromebooks that go overboard with specs and features in order to justify...

Someone who wants a single laptop for school, work, and play Those who travel frequently (or at least jump from room to room looking for quiet while everyone's working from home) Media hogs that watch a lot of videos on their laptop People who need the...

Those needing huge screens Someone who needs tons of storage Tab hoarders

Between the backlit keyboard and the fact that this is barely any bigger than my beloved C340-11, the Lenovo Flex 5 might be my new daily driver going forward. Equally suited to banging out articles while I'm huddled up on the couch or doing some light...
