I feel like I should warn math (or any major that requires a lot of math, really) students buying this laptop: The stylus is not "just a bonus". It *will* spoil you. You will no longer be able to use a laptop that doesn't have one. It's just so damn convenient.
This comment is what I was looking for for months. Thank you!
@Andreas Araya Osorio does it come with it?
@@user-ck1pf1mf9u yes the stylus in the box
@Andreas Araya Osorio Hi . Can you please give me some info ? What's the price of this product in Italy now ? And can you give me some Links?
Sorry for bothering you.
@@shareh0ldr874 Hey, wie genau hast du das gemacht? Wenn ich auf den Link klicke gelange ich zu keiner Shopseite. Oder ists ausverkauft?
Yes please! Dedicated benchmark on the R5 4500u, including gaming performance at various power levels (such as 15w vs 18w vs 25w etc). Thanks!
Hehe. I'm finishing up on my tool that allows your to change the TDP values.

@@erenmetu "sleeper" originates in car culture. it basically means that the car looks simple, but under the hood it has been upgraded to be a powerful car, think; a taxi from 1980 outperforming a new race car.
"pretty solid college laptop"
Yes, suffices. I've been searching for a new laptop to buy for my postgrad in a few months from now. This seems good from all the reviews I've heard.
Did end up getting it ? If so how's it going
Intel says no benchmark. You shows the R15 scores that hurt Intel's feeling. :)
And that was vs the power monster 8th gen. It was from 2nd gen to 6th gen that no performance gains came (it went severely down after 2nd gen focusing only on power draw/battery life, so when 7th gen came out finally you had a reason that you could upgrade, of course for only like 5-10% gains...but you could!). Then 8th gen came out and whoa they pulled an FX nuclear reactor with those (it was the only way to sort of compete with Ryzen).
The 8750h (45w TDP my butt... maybe averages reading emails, but litterally opening an email it will boost above that), uses a furnace of 85w boost out of the box and will almost never go below 45w. It uses substantially more than desktop Ryzen 1700 (8 core/16 thread instead of 6c/12t Mobile) which I could never stress to use over 70w even with P-95 or any other workload.
It’s faster than my i5-2520m (not even the fastest duel core), but that 2nd gen slapped even “i7” 4th gen’s best that my cousin had in his gaming laptop (I use air quotes because the old i5 was better in every way, including multi-thread because the “i7” was also a duel core). But that was back when 35w TDP on a duel core was fine (ironically even with original battery from 2012 I still get 5 hours of use out of it, meanwhile my newer 8750 gaming laptop gets like 30 minutes stock just updating steam and doing the same web browsing tasks... I finally got it to 45+ minutes use by undervolting the cpu by as much as possible and sometimes even get an hour, but it’s still crazy fast power drain not really doing anything, switching to SSDs only helped a lot though, and mechanical drives in this day and age should almost be a crime)

I picked this up at a pawn shop and I was skeptical but I absolutely love it. Mine is i7 with nVidia, SSD and 16g RAM. The problem is the battery, mine came with a dead one and finding a new one is very difficult (Lenovo does not carry!!!) fand I've read a lot of people had a problem with the battery going dead. It also runs pretty hot, had to get a cooling pad. I especially like the aluminum case, looks very sharp. Keyboard feels great and back-light is very nice. I wanted a portable gaming laptop that can do it all and this one does exactly that.
Yes, please do a benchmark video. I've been looking for an excuse to upgrade my 5 year old laptop
@@gerthddyn Awesome, appreciate the feedback. I ended up pulling the trigger on it today. I've got a 6 year old Toshiba Satellite 17" with an i7 and 12GB ram.

@@cody7061 get it bro, lenovo is amazing
Was it a great buy mr cody? Think of buying for my daughter’s online classes
This was the exact laptop I was looking for and they came out with a better one a year ago and even though it might be a bit older, it is still one of the best budget options
I was looking for a cheap but powerful Linux laptop to start learning the OS for work. Instant buy! I was hoping that AMD would be making budget laptops and I have been waiting. Fantastic. Thanks for the info!
Good one, nice to see AMD getting into the notebook market the good way and small steps
"The laptop burnt a *little* hot"
"90 degress celcius"
Water boils at 100 degrees.
this
The CPU itself gets to 90 degrees. The heat sink dissipates a chunk of that, and then the fan exhausts the hot air through the vents. Air coming out is still toasty warm, don't get me wrong, but nowhere near 90 degrees celsius. (You'd burn the hell out of yourself)
He meant 90° F.
Nah, he meant 90°K.
its not a gaming laptop though... that's on yourself for gaming on it and burning it out.
The '5' in Flex 5 must stand for the number of hard-to-remove stickers on this laptop. Is this really necessary?
Thank you for talking about the screen colors with the actual ratings.
I'm going to design in university
This pc sounds perfect but that color accuracy maybe will be important in my studies...hummm
This Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 AMD actually gives a huge value boost over the Surface Pro 7 with same specs (yes, there are trade offs, and not "premium), but its almost 1/3rd the price against the more expensive Surface Pro 7 models.
And display brightness is terrible at 250 nits and just 1080p, and terrible terrible color gamut of the screen.
@@debendragurung3033 fair point on the brightness, but color gamut isn't really a problem to a lot of people, unless they're trained to use Apple products to rely on 100% color accuracy, to which.... this isn't the product for it, really.
@@badiyee actually I don't care much about color gamut either and I almost bought one, But then display brightness was a deal breaker. And then I realised that whole other flaw - the screen resolution (just 1080p) , subpar internal specs like last gen bluetooth. and what else? And it's not as great as a value as we think it is as we are paying for the specs that is a generation or two behind.
It's a value product but it has cut too much corners. It's a cheap product built by slapping cheap old hardwares. The technology should be moving forward not backward to atleast keep pushing innovation. I would thus say Surface Pro 7 is a much better value product.
@@debendragurung3033 The Surface Pro is a halo product. Its by design, by Microsoft, a product, just like how Google did the early days of Nexus phones; a statement of how they (Microsoft) feels that a Surface (in this case tablet-in-a-pc-form-factor) could be done, because many manufacturers wouldn't do a proper one (even when Intel and Microsoft collaborated way back in 2011). Then the Surface Pro evolved, and so did designs by third party OEMs. The Lenovo Flex 15, in this case, serves a different target base (although arguably the same / similar group, but still, a niche within a niche, but two different groups of customers). You got the brute force computing power, the specs, without all the premium features, but in an affordable price, which to my earlier statement, in 1/3rd of the price of a similarly specced Surface Pro (when it comes to compute power).
Besides, its an open secret that manufacturers, for whatever wisdom / stupidity they have, carried on the decision to put second, third tier-rated manufacturing materials into AMD powered laptops, although seeing that within 6 months, some things have changed (like the latest Lenovo line up where both AMD and Intel based laptops share almost everything the same [screen, build quality, etc]). Perhaps there will be an update to this, with more "premium" features that you as a customer seek, but if I have only so much money, and I'm looking to get something "Surface-ish", this Lenovo (when it was launched 6 months ago was 1/3rd the price of a similarly Intel CPU-specced based Surface Pro, now I'm not so sure, may need to double check the price) , I would still choose this in a hearbeat, knowing that I can live with some other compromises.
@@myleswolfe5139 Oh, don't worry so much about it. Its meant for people who either are trained to differentiate the colour accuracy and reproduction, or those who claim that they can. For a lot of people (not quantifiable), it either "feels like" it looks nicer, or not nicer. Don't worry so much about it. Some are more picky, some aren't as picky.
Got mine last week. Got the 4700u with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD. I'm in love. Perfect with the Active Pen 2.
What price did you get it for? And how do you like the display, how is the colors and brightness?
How's it holding up?
Dear Lenovo, please release a X1 with Ryzen and AMD GPU. That would be a sure fire winner.
I got a $750 version that has a 4800u, 16gb 3200mhz, and 512gb nvme. I’m so stoked for it to arrive
i wanna see a 10 inch windows 10 tablet running this APU.
Yeah but tablet gone need a fan
Thermal throttling in 12 words lol
They should've put it in the Surface Book 3. What a missed opportunity. Still not too late for Surface Pro 8!
10 inches is way too small for W10. Use a 12, 12.5 inch, 14 and you'll never go back to anything near 10in for Windows
@@zerocal76 not true. I have a 10" Surface pro 2. and its perfect.
I was very close to buying this laptop, but I didn't think it would be quite up to snuff for DaVinci Resolve. So, I got a Dell G5 15 SE instead with a dedicated GPU, and that thing has fantastic performance.
Unless in battery saver mode the fan on this thing fires up intermittently and loudly, almost whistling. On charge the thing whines constantly. If you Google this it seems I am not alone with this Lenovo driven problem. Loved the fit and finish and speed of the Ryzen 5 but if I wanted to live next door to a major airport I might not be bothered by the sound of this thing being drowned out! It got returned and I suggest you try one out in a store before you buy. Hope this helps y'all.
2:10 same thing happenned to my at university in one class.... I had a PDA (before smartphones were a thing) and used it to take notes and download the pdfs, slides or other documents since I didn't have internet at home... Some coleagues at the bottom of the room were with the laptops on and giggling about something, teacher got enough of it and ordered all laptops to be off... that included my little PDA :(
Had a dell laptop with USB C power charger. It was soooo much better and more convenient than the old style power plugs. You could unplug it from the laptop, charge your phone and not have to bring a bunch of extra cables. ANything you would do with USB C is short timed anyway - you dont plug a mouse or anything like that in there - nor would you constantly keep a hdd plugged in. So with this battery life, working from battery for this short time, its absolutely worth it. Been eyeing the Flex 5 in store and the store we saw it, had it plugged in with the regular power plug and thought its a major bummer and would have to go a find the USB C cable for that separately.
I have this laptop, good value and runs good. The USBC power port idea is for the desktop docking brick to make it easy to connect with one small cable to your desktop monitor etc setup, which is the way to go for docking.
what docking brick and are you using dual external monitors? Looks like this laptop doesnt offically support that
0:30 As he said $600 *throws it in the air*
Interesting! I just bought this very same laptop two hours ago. Can you confirm that the soldered RAM has dual channels? According to the reviews, people said it’s equipped with dual channels despite onboard and the Lenovo representative was wrong saying otherwise.
Yes all 16gb ram are soldered on in dual channel mode u can’t upgrade or downgrade but 16gb is enough for this laptop
Mala Thomas thanks!
Hi, mine is a 2017 model and the RAM is most certainly up-gradable. Only one slot available, mine came with 8gigs and I upgraded to 16. Depends on the model.
Does this have thunderbolt 3 if not can someone recommend me a good laptop with it and 16gb ram or upgradable memory.
@@acrylex4663 thunderbolt is intels proprietary stuff, so go with good 10th gen i5 laptop and you're good. unfortunately, thunderbolt support is costly because of intel licencing fees.
Would like to see Lenovo Linux edition, as they fully support Linux. That's pretty great for us developers who want out of the box Linux experience with full support.
Hey, quick question: How does Linux play with these convertible laptops?
I installed Linux Mint on an old Mac Mini to use as a server a while ago, so i'm somewhat familiar with Linux, but if I wanted to buy this particular laptop to experiment with Linux on a day-to-day basis, would the stylus and tablet mode still work with it? I wouldn't mind switching to a different Distro if there was one that was more geared to these kinds of laptops.
@@ColdFuse96 You managed to ask a question that I don't know the answer for.
And congrats on getting Linux on Mac, as certain Macs are not the easiest to get Linux working.
I think laptops that have removable display that works as tablet might be problematic, though I don't know. However I think this kind of laptop should work fine.
If the laptop has some new rare hardware that has been just released, then it might take awhile to get the drivers, but on most cases you are just fine with all the popular distros.
But you might want to do some searching to be sure. In any case Lenovo just had press release that they are selling new laptops with couple of different Linux versions pre-installed, with full support on those distros and they are really focusing on making sure that all users will get the best possible experience. So if you buy any of those laptops, though I don't know if this model is among them, everything will work perfectly and get future updates and support as well. And have dedicated forums on their websites.
Thus they'll have some custom firmwares etc. and all that they do, they will be giving free so all distros can benefit from their work. It's pretty big news actually and will probably make other companies follow their lead.
Come to Latin America. They’re super common here. Like every second laptop you see in a store here comes with some form of Linux. Usually Ubuntu.
Lenovo actually has Thinkpad with Linux on it. It isn't touchscreen if I remember correctly.
@@ColdFuse96 I don't know about this particular computer, but I put Manjaro Linux on an Asus t300-chi which is a touch screen 2 in 1 that has the detachable keyboard. The touchscreen works pretty well on it and the hardware is 3 or 4 years old at least. So I would think on a newer laptop like this and how Lenovo is expanding it's Linux support, that Linux would work on this with the touchscreen fine. I wouldn't count on the fingerprint reader working with Linux just yet though.
I looked on Amazon and too bad: "+ $193.61 Shipping & Import Fees Deposit to Italy "

@@thetechoasis2179 it's not available in the UK yet

Same thing for Austria. You can get the same laptop here but for 700 Euros (= roughly 770 Dollars) and with only 8GB of RAM and no stylus. Bad deal
Check the local Lenovo website, for example the German one let's you configure it, sadly they don't ship to my country neither mine allow customization.
Basically Lenovo is like: *screw your eyes*
Lol. That accuracy tho.
Is it not good on eyes?
What do you mean?
Actually, quite the opposite. The color is overly warm/yellow, which in any case, is better for your eyes
AMD integrated GPU beats the geforce MX 250 discrete card.
Quite a big deal for the budget segment allowing OEMs to build cost effective laptops.
What about mx 350
Yet Intel laptops are more dominant here in the Philippines coz Ryzen 3k/4k series laptops are gone everywhere lmao
Literally looks like my Flex14 from last year with upgraded APU. I am happy with it since I mostly do coding and read PDF on it.
Wow, that's ludicrous. I'd keep one in my room for youtube and Terraria
8:30 Yeah this would suffice, if you want to threaten someone over a skypecall 😁
I have the previous version with the 3500U, and an anti-glare screen protector is definitely required if you're going to be using this thing outdoor.
It looks identical to this model for the most part, and the best part of it is the feel of the keyboard in my opinion.
Also my model came with a regular power adapter that plugs into the power port. Not sure why they have changed it in this newer version.
I snagged it for $449 during 2019's black friday sale on amazon.
i just broke my laptop screen and am looking to get the 4300u, be good enough for my needs
When it has 57% sRGB accuracy, I'd rather have its display reflective af to mask its deficiency.
Depending where you live, you can configure it to have a 100% srgb display... but everywhere the flex 5 is out of stock :(
@@SweatyFeetGirl outta stock? Well that sucks. 😞
@@SweatyFeetGirl Ryzen 5 laptops were so under projected that they launched without stock. It's hilarious how fast the idea and flex series sold out
$600 dude.
Must be one of those Panda specials. It took some time to get used to the unusual greens on my $600 Acer, but now I am totally okay with it.
I'm planning to get the Flex 5 with 512GB or 1TB (i7 with 512GB costs as much as Rzyen with 1TB) SSD and 16GB RAM. What I'm not sure about is if I should choose the i7 or the Ryzen 4700U version. From what I've heard about the Ryzen's performance I'd say I should definitely prefer it, the integrated graphics seem to be another reason and then of course the bigger SSD for the same price, but I'm simply not sure. Maybe someone here has an opinion about that? I'll use it for tasks like CZcams, Netflix, Microsoft Office work and also coding (mostly only C++ in Visueal Studio Code at the moment, I have access to more capable computers in my university in case I need more power in the future), so nothing too heavy but I want to keep some room for future uses that may be more demanding. Some casual gaming would be nice too, but I'm not buying it for that purpose. Any answers would be highly appreciated.
And another, maybe stupid question: does someone know which stylus was shown here? I'll have to get it separately and although any basic Lenovo pen should work from what I've read I want to make sure to get one that works well with this model.
After 3 years do u recommend it?
Me and another friend were looking at this laptop yesterday!! Perfect timing on this review man , Lenovo has 2 more customers

Can I use usb to lan adapter in this.. will it support?
Thank you for this to the point review.
Laptop looks good, but I'm disappointed by the camera and mic. I mean, they stick 60+ mp cameras that are almost SLR quality with pro lenses in 7" cellphones and yet they can't seem to put a camera that seems like it has more then the old school 1.2mp camera and mic set that sound like you're talking through a can/string set in a laptop.
Oh well. I guess if that is the only complaint, I can deal with it. Would love to see that chip with an RTX 2080.

Good to hear you would have been ok with this laptop when you were in college... when I was in college the ONLY computer on the campus was an SDS 9300 from Scientific Data Systems. If you wanted to use it you had to go to one of the key punch machines and create a card deck that you submitted to the data processing room and then picked up your printout (on 13-7/8 inch wide white and green striped paper with 132 text characters per line) the next day!
How the world has changed since 1970! Lol
yeah this Laptop may be a few % faster lol
i have flex 5 1470, using it for 4 years, still running strong.
I got this after watching this video and was real worried about the quality of the speakers because of it. One major reason I got it was because I wanted to watch movies on it and my ipads speakers are really bad. I saw some other reviews saying they were good and this was a really great price so I bought it.
Now I'm not an audiofile or anything, just a normal user, but these speakers are genuinely really good. They're not bad at all. I've had laptops before with bad or just okay speakers but this is nothing like that. I don't feel any need to get my headphones to listen to content decently because these things do the job perfectly.
how is the quality and screen size when watching movies or gaming?
+1 for dedicated benchmark vid
It has soldered RAM without 32g/64g option, which defeats the point of having a strong CPU.
It is mo more futureproof than any gen8+ i5 model, in that way.
Got mine for 500 on prime day, great deal
I bought the IdeaPad 5 15 with a 4500u, 16gb of DDR4 3200mhz RAM in dual channel config, a 256gb MVME SSD, a 1080p IPS display with 300 NITS brightness, and a USB C charger, for €465. I got a 10% discount for signing up for the Lenovo newsletter and a €100 discount for buying it with FreeDos installed instead of Windows.
That is like the first time I’ve ever hear a company actually giving the license fee back! I really wish they could come blank (or with free etc so I can wipe it and put on what I want). That’s really nice, so few companies actually do that, and often it’s only like $10 or $20 discount making it almost pointless, so that’s excellent! I hope to see that more.

He said the ideapad flex 5 comes with the stylus. You may own the lenovo flex 5 which isn't an ideapad. In that case I checked amazon and lenovo stylus claims to be compatible but reviewers say it's not. I believe that's because there's two flex 5's.

bocconom it’s a cost saving method. Don’t expect upgradeable ram on low to mid end laptops
Thank you for your input! You have my subscription
performance is impressive just sucks that the build quality isn't that great
0:31 OMG stop doing that with poor laptop. I cant watch 🥺
Rich people LOL
I'm a simple man, I see a Mooncake shirt, I hit subscribe, kidding, thanks for the review. I am torn between Lenovo Ideapad and Acer Swift 3.
Yes i Want to know
I see Final space,
I see a man of great culture,
please wear your monocle sir...
I was going to grab this one but then I got a steal for the Lenovo Yoga 6 for under $400 🤯 I don't regret it 😎💯
How?
If this had a better screen, I would have probably bought it instantly for even $800.
I think they might have different screen options.
I am thinking to get a HP Envy x360 13-ay0021nr when it’s in stock.
on lenovo website , depending where you live, you can select a 100% srgb screen with 300 nits
You, sir, are an amusing specimen. Subscribed.
That 57% color totally killed it...
How else was they suppose to keep the price low?
you won't notice unless you're a photo editor or actively looking for the difference. Color "vibrancy" and color accuracy are very different, oftentimes people would think a more vibrant display is better, even if it is actually less accurate.
@@malathomas6141 No, you're totally right. Most budget range laptops come with dog-shit screens. It's still a shame never-the-less.
To answer your question on the power cords: The USB-C cord included is Max 65W while the regular cord is lower. The only thing I would have preferred is a second USB-C port, to not have to buy the old cord just to free up my USB-C to a device.
Dude this was a proper review thanks for sharing Mate
PLEASE do a full benchmark review/comparison of the 4500u, and if you're able to, the entire 4000 mobile range. Love the vid
Just bought their Thinkpad E14 20TS. Has the same basic hardware in it, I just prefer Thinkpad's chassis design over Ideapad's.
Cinebench R15 for the 3500u is around 600cb (If people wanted to compare)
So about like a 2200g (around 600-650cb) on desktop with mild overclock for people wanting to compare.
I7 8750h: 1050/1240cb (stock/undervolted results)
Ryzen 1700 @ 3.8 stock cooler: 1700cb
FX-8350: 748cb @4.8Ghz(NB11xFSB235)
TR-1950x: 3600cb (4.15 GHz, quad channel)
i5 2520m: 254cb
AMD E1: 39cb (I went from this dreaded chip to now Threadripper, I love computers now! No more slideshows).
Awesome review! Very detailed. What about fan noise? In web-browsing, running benchmarks and playing some games?? Thanks!!
I bought an HP X360 Envy Ryzen 7 4700U 16GB Ram last week for my wife. We can't be happier with our purchase! I'm looking to buy my own Ryzen 4000 laptop later this year. Looking for more premium options since I work with a lot of graphics and CAD. Hoping Lenovo or HP bring out the premium models by the Holiday season.
Btw guys just wanna say I have this laptop myself and it’s so good
Would definitely recommend
Is it good for gaming ?
@@ccheese8110 Yh it can usually handle most games just fine but there can be a problem where to press the space bar you have to hit it directly in the middle
Is the keyboard backlit?
@@Ko_cuts nah it’s not but it’s good quality
Btw the problem with the space bar is gone now u just need to use it and it goes away
I dont know why this is in my recommended, a year later, other than the fact that im watching this on the exact same laptop
