Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5-2023 - Touchscreen 2-in-1 Laptop - Windows 11 Home - 14" FHD Display - 16GB Memory - 256GB Storage - AMD Ryzen 5 5500U - Abyss Blue

This is a Great laptop. I first order another Lenovo, which was defective or something. Because it was so new there were no reviews. I returned it with no problem. I thought I didn't need such a high grade laptop. So I decided to get this one, and it's almost half the cost. Im not a gamer on PC, but this also comes with entice gamer pluses, including Xbox promotion time. I periodically watch movies mostly pay bills, read and writing docs. For personal use, I am please with laptop. It is fast, smooth has sufficient memory. Graphics are great, touch screen works great, and so does touch point, even has backlit. It comes with with windows 11 home, Great for me. I transfer all my docs and pdf, photos, music, and some apps. with Lenovo migration assist, so easily through my wifi. I did buy from Microsoft site, and pdf app, so I can edit and sign forms that only cost me 49.00 one time fee for up to "I think" it was 5 different devices. I would difinately recommend this laptop. I bought it on the lighting deal last week. Loved the price even more. Thumbs up for this laptop.

I'm a techie, professionally and hobby wise, and I've had so many flavors of laptops and desktops. This right here though, is one awesome piece of equipment. Specs are very nice. I dual boot between Fedora and Windows 11, I run applications for different projects at the same time and there is no freezing or memory clogs. Even when practicing pen testing, the Ryzen has more threads than the Intels I'm used to using, so it works on more processes, much faster than it's Intel equivalent (Ryzen 5 vs i5, etc) Pretty lightweight, light up keyboard is perfect. I could go on and on. Well worth the purchase.

The wifi card in the one I bought seems to be faulty but a usb wifi dongle seemed to fix that issue. I bought this for drawing ( the touch screen and included pen are awesome for this, as is the fact you can fold the laptop completly open to use as a tablet pc. You will just need a good drawing program) and some minor gaming (m)Mostly for Mechwarrior 5. Runs great on medium settings) and it excels at both, granted your not gonna be playing anything really taxing on it, but itll run most current gen games on the low to mid end. Does not run cyberpunk however... Gotta knock a star off because of the wifi issue though, and the fact it has windows 11.

I got this for a lighter weight machine for traveling and classwork. I ran it once with the installed Windows 10, which immediately "upgraded" (ahem) to Windows 11. But I was able to install Linux PopOS very quickly, and it works great with this machine! The touch screen, touch pen, etc., all work without a hitch. That made it possible to get rid of the pre-installed spyware, bloated apps, and security risks with an open source secure Linux that does everything Windows does plus a lot more. It *is* possible to setup a dual-boot (Linux plus Windows), but that requires some knowledge of the Windows registry and UEFI boot. At first I thought it might be useful to keep Windows in case I ran into problems but that turned out to be unnecessary so i just took over the entire (and fast) SSD for Linux.

Yesterday, I turned on my Lenovo Flex 5 Laptop and opened my email account, and this happened. This wonderful laptop continued to delete all my active emails. I use my mousse and don't touch the keyboard unless to type. The factory upper keys or the functions keys are out of alignment and appear to wiggle in appearance. Beware don't let this happen to you. If only I could have recovered my lost emails. I switched to another outlook folder, and the laptop continued to delete them all as fast as it could. Moved to the next folder and every page I switched to, the Lenovo just keep on deleting the contents. What a nightmare. Even when I switched to the trash bin, I saw my files disappear forever. Gone forever! My only recourse was to turn the thing off.The worst mistake I ever made with this laptop was not to buy a Warranty program for this device. I would have sent this thing back forever. I trusted the name. No More. AND FOEVER. And I got burnt with missing my very my important emails being deleted . And now I only have a lame duck piece of Sheet. I am afraid to turn it it on again. Avoid the another nightmare, and just stay in reality, Do Not buy this product. It will harm your lifestyle.I have not dropped or even miss handled this laptop. It showed up in terrorist mode.

After six years, my old laptop was finally ready to go--I picked this one on recommendation from a friend who had a slightly older model. I'm VERY impressed with this computer so far. The battery life is the best I've had since my college computer, even if I'm on YouTube or drawing, the touch screen is pretty responsive (I've noticed that the top half-centimeter doesn't seem to respond, but that's consistent so I think it's supposed to be that way) and the touch controls are very sensible. The sound is good; I haven't had a chance to try the microphone or video yet. The camera seems fine, though! I love that the computer folds for drawing, too.The only things I don't love are things that have changed between Microsoft 10 and 11, but that's not on the Lenovo. It automatically put OneDrive on (yuck) and some of the functionality of the apps have changed between operating systems. Again, though, nothing major, and that's not on Lenovo. I'm just getting used to them!Overall, I think this was a great purchase. I'm very happy with this Lenovo so far.
