Finally switching over from iPad Pro to a 2 in 1, so glad I found your channel. Still deciding on this or the hp envy x360 you reviewed a few months back
I bought the Flex 5 Ryzen version after watching your review, I think it's even better than my previous Intel laptop! The Flex 5 is more cheaper, more capable, and lighter too! I'm so happy that I finally get a great laptop! Thanks for the awesome review, Andrew! (and I'm commenting using it right now)
Good laptop for the money. Camera was okay but the internal microphone sounded a little muffled. Agree with you about the soldered memory. It seems kind of funny that these manufacturers make it easy to get to the insides (no removing rubber strips etc.) but by soldering the memory they limit what one can upgrade in these PCs. Anyway as always another great review.
Camera is more than adequate for Video calls etc. and getting business done. I suspect that if you are looking to shoot a movie with a Laptop you might want look elsewhere.... Excellent review that answers ALL my questions and gives me an excellent baseline to make a purchasing decision. This is what a champ review should look like. Bravo !
I just got into college and I am looking for a 2 in 1 Iaptop so I would really appreciate it a lot if you compare the lenovo flex 5 (AMD) with the HP Envy X360 15.6 (AMD)
You have it at TehnoPanda. He opts for Envy 360, but I am personally still indecisive as Envy on my local marker comes with far worse configuration and both models are more than a double expensive than the original price
@@xseba3117 Thanks, for the reply. I missed the launch, need to see that. I am leaning toward AMD Ryzen. Since we are near the end of 2020, I may wait until 2021, can get by with what I have for now. I do need to think more about phones, right now.
The processor speed shows as 1Ghz. Other ThinkPads show 1.3 - 3.6Ghz. How important is this? Disclaimer - I do not know much about laptops/computers. I'm researching for a purchase I need to make to zoom and to store music. Thank you
Hey, Andrew. Thanks for the pristine review. It looks like AMD is doing an excellent job from an apples-to-apples comparison. Intel really does need to up their game. Keep up the awesome work. Looking forward to your next stream. Stay safe, my friend.
Is this laptop good if I use this laptop for IT programming (coding purpose)? As thinkpad is quit expansive in comparison to this laptop so can I go for this laptop?
Hi everyone, so I need to buy a laptop for my university and I'm crazy about touch screen laptops bud my budget is something around the price of this one. And I'm really not sure if it worth it or not because I heard that the touch screen might cause some problems!! I'll be happy if you could share you opinions with me, if you were in my situation would you buy this one or another one with the same price but without touch screen??
What graphics card is included in the i5 you have shown? I've seen models with Nvidia mx330. I'm strongly considering getting a Lenovo Flex. But I'm unsure about which model. Is Ryzen 5 with AMD better preforming than i5 with Nvidia? Also this is the first time I've heard that the Ryzen version has longer battery life. Thanks
I noticed in the specs that it is a HDMI 1.4 port. That would be quite disappointing, but can you confirm if that is the case? Basically, 4k60hz is what HDMI 2.0 would give so it would be a shame if it didn't do that.
Trying to decide between Flex 5i 8gb ram 256gb for $899 AUD or Flex 5 ADM ryzen 5500u 8gb ram 256gb for $1200 AUD. Mostly for school but want to play Sims 4, GTA and other similar games, not all the time but definitely want the option. Which variant is best ?
does anyone find that the screen washes out more at even a slight angle? The top of my screen appears darker than the bottom even at the "optimal" angle. As the angle changes even slightly, the evenness of the screen brightness seems to change =/
I settled for the (apparently older) i3 version. Mainly beause I am stuck with an ADLS system, and wifi-6 just isn't going to happen here. I know the 2x2 ac system works on my modem because that is what runs my Inspiron wifi. Everywhere I have looked that same statement is made, wifi-6 computers can not run on the ancient 2.5 internet system. Do you know o anyone who has run videos about i3 intel version of this laptop?
Which 2 in 1 do you recommend at the moment? Don't want the most expensive laptop. I want to know the best value laptop If you can make a video about best value laptop (2 in 1) It would be amazing. Or else if you can at least please comment for your viewers. Thank you :)
Guide me a laptop with below specs: 1.Aluminium body (top and bottom) 2. 250+ nits FHD 3. 6cores&6threads [ryzen or intel] 4. Min 8GB [better if RAM is not soldered to MB] 5. 250 to 500 GB NVMe SSD 6. 65W charging where Type-C port shud be avail for charging 7. 9-10 hours battery

After 10 days of use I am taking mine back. Within the first few days it installed an update which rendered my keyboard totally useless, had to call tech support to get it working again. Then today I go to start it up in the morning, and the thing won't even load the login screen, then it starts making weird beeping sounds. On the phone to the techies again, nothing will get it working. I am now having it collected and returned for a refund. Will never buy Lenovo again. The screen on this machine is also very poor, the colours are all out of whack and there's this brownish hue to everything. Not to mention the lack of brightness.

AMD is currently eating Intel's lunch on the desktop. If you want Thunderbolt and/or you are a hardcore gamer, Intel is marginally better on laptops.
