Your laptop link is broken.
If you goto HP's site and choose the 445 or 445 ProBook, then choose the one that says AMD Ryzen 3 APU, you can choose a bunch of configurable options:
1) W10 vs FreeDos _(huge savings)_
2) 5400U vs 5600U vs 5800U
3) 250nits, 400 nits or 1000 nits screen
4) 4, 8, 16 or 32 GB RAM
5) etc
I think the pricing is a bit high for a 6 core laptop, no Windows _(FreeDos),_ 400 NIT screen, 16GB RAM, 512GB NVMe and a 45 WHr battery. Both the 445 and 455 priced this config over $1000 bucks. If the battery was 80 WHr and it was a touchscreen, I'd be interested.
why is $800 pricey for 5700 laptop with 16gb ram? I agree the screen isn't bright but $800 seems like a reasonable price
is the ram upgradable???
You have to consider in the Cinebench scores that the 4500U is just a 6 core 6 thread CPU and this is an 8 core 16 thread CPU, so that improvment probably due that it has a higher base core and multythreaded and not because it's a 5000 series CPU. The 4600U and the 4800U are a multythreaded CPU, the 4500U and 4700U are not, so it would be great to see if there is any inprovment compare to the 4800U.
I got the flex 5 14in with this Apu and its great! I can play dark souls 3 at 50-ish frames it's awesome. Super happy with it!
Granted at 720p, but considering this game is native 900p, it's not that much of a downgrade especially with AMD image sharpening and that extra 10-15 frame boost.
what about now is the laptop still working fine ?
@@AlGny2 actually. no lmao
@@AlGny2 Had a lot of bluescreen issues and some of the keyboard keys stopped working, however I pirated games and can be a bit rough with the laptop, so take that with a pinch of salt. Currently sent in for repair under costco warranty
@@sameshmundra7844 laptop went hollow smh
I have a flex 5 with a 4700u. I don't ask much of my laptop so its been solid but the screen is also my biggest knock on it.
Is 8 gb ram enough for u?
@@gojothecoder I have a 16gb 3200mhz model
@@RobbbbC but in India this model is unavailable
@@gojothecoder if its 1x8 ram thats installed, and you have 2 ram slots you can probably install another 8gb RAM in spare slot.
@@2b2tisafactionsserver72 The flex 5's ram is soldered on.
I love this style of video and coverage
You gave me a much better understanding of what I'd buy than the other videos!
just glad the confusion is leading to a somewhat symbiotic relationship with yt channels that clear up the confusion. thanks for the this upload
I loved my flex with the 3500u (~$550 2 years ago), and have considered bumping up to a ryzen 7 version. Despite this being a huge improvement over mine, the much higher price and the overall mixed bag is gonna keep me holding off til the next version.
I have had no issues with my Lenovo Flex-14API with the Ryzen 5 3500U, 256G SSD and 12 GB of RAM but will give it to my daughter for school so I just ordered the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 82HV003QUS 15.6 2-in-1 from the Microsoft store (I assume it's a similar spec to the one in the video). This new model cost less than $200 CAD more than my current laptop.
I've had Toshiba Satellites, Dells, ASUS and have been less than impressed with any of them. I also use a Lenovo ThinkPad for work and so far I've been happy with them so I think I'm gonna stick to Lenovo for the time being.
@@NaturalMystic69 It's the exact same model.
I just got a Hp Pavilion with the new Ryzen 7 5700u laptop and trust me it’s worth it and you can keep this laptop for probably twice as long as yours!
This arrived yesterday for my college laptop. Screen is a bit dim, but otherwise fantastic. Can even run lesser games well
Try watching CZcams videos. The colors are washed out.
@@Raison_d-etre I don't know what you're saying, nothing looks any worse than my nice computer monitors and only slightly worse than my phone (an OLED).
not on my acer aspire 5 just great and vibrant colors...the colors on acer swift 3 with intel graphics were washed out
The 5700u is basically a zen 2 plus, a step between zen 2 and zen 3.
I just brought the lenovo ideapad pad flex 5 with the ryzen 5 4500u processor which has a 14 inch screen.
I agree you may face issues regarding the display but bear in mind that this is a 2-in-1 convertible, it has to be glossy.
Also, a 15.6 inch screen is not at all ideal for a convertible, a 14 inch screen is much better.
So the thing is, if you are interested in buying this laptop, go for the ryzen 5 4th Gen 14 inch variant.
How is the display? I mean , is it enjoyable watching netflix with it?
I just got this laptop. I really like it but I think the speakers are too low in certain situations like you say and for the brightness when I sit near my window I have to turn it to max brightness which seems very weird. I have watched people play video games with a dark background before so that seems annoying. The screen does feel kind of flimsy. For now, it's ok because it's new but I'm not sure how that will be in 2 years.
How do you feel about the laptop now ? 2 months later
@@Zeno7741 He's dead. Laptop took control
@@eemill7405 LOL
How is the battery
It's been 2 years tell us how it's going
Can someone tell me if this laptop comes with a stylus I have the flex 5 but there’s 4 versions
Rlly miss in Most reviews i can find on youtube is people actually testing out how the touch screen feels with ur finger. Like drawing with it without pen
Ur still the best one i could find
i got the same specs with an acer aspire 3 15 but it WAS upgradable to 32 gigs ram, which i did by adding another 16 in the slot beside the built in 16.
also upped to 1.5 terabytes of ssd ,with an extra terabyte kingston in the slot next to the 512 it came with.
the 32gigs ram really makes that ryzen 7 5700U shine ! ( :
full HD 1080 15.6 monitor.
all for $450.
I always run to this man for pc reviews. I’d put him in my will if I could
Ty.. Thinking of getting this one a year after you looked at it.. Just need a good coding computer that can handle a little bit of web design and web development.. Thanks for your time
I think 250 nits on a laptop display is completely unacceptable. It's a "portable computer". What's the point if you can barely see the display while working outdoors?
Lenovo also has the Ideapad Slim 5 that is equipped with a 300 nits display. Seems to be a mostly similar laptop minus the touchscreen (And cheaper too based on my local pricing). A good trade off.
Slim 5 is touch though!
is it worth it to get this cpu over the ryzen 5 5500u by paying extra 100 euros (120 dollars) ?
You didn't mention how the key noise was on this one. Great video!
Shouldn't you be playing at 720p on integrated graphics when playing demanding games??
11 minutes of video end 4.min promotion...
Is it better than the i7-1255U variant?
54% sRGB in 2021, ouch 🤕
Was about to buy this and not going to just because of this.
I bought this today!
@@nakulkamatkar1080 What do you think about the monitor? is 250 nits enough?
@@Mogdads yeah it's well good if you not gonna do editing & stuff
Preety solid machine
But I did get a stylus with the laptop
What about the Lenovo Yoga slim 6? Do you have any opinions?
Got this laptop for my birthday, better than my Intel uhd pc I had before XD
I don’t want it to play games. I need it for college… so I’m getting it this week… I just need adobe illustrator and photoshop to run well😅
I just got the non flex one for 400 at Best Buy open box discount
Where can I find the live background running on the Lenovo in this video?
right now I think having a cheat rtx 30 series is the most value on a laptop, even for mining
I guess the name flex was describing the chassis 🤣
Does the USB-C on this laptop support HDMI output through an adapter?
Should i buy this in 2023 for £479 wanna buy this for some light gaming and some classes
When you turn it to a tablet and you search something on Google does a touch keyboard ppear?
Anyone know of 2 in 1 laptop that fits these criterias-
$1,000 or less
Brightness 300 nits or more
Color accuracy of 70% or more
8gb of ram or more (16gb preferred)
Cpu of 6 cores or more (multi thread would be great but not necessary)
12in Screen or more
I really like the idea of the Lenovo Flex 5’s but the brightness wouldn’t work for me, cuz I would be going to and from for classes at college, and some areas for study would be outdoors
the hp envy x360 sounds like what you need, you can get a model with a 400 nit screen
I’m going to school for game design and development, do you think this laptop would be able to run 3d programs like maya?
Franck Dubosc?!
How it will be for music DAW and plugins? Like Ableton?
Is the display IPS, right ?
Im going to buy this because of my birthday, and seeing this i say is okey, because is better in comparation with the one i have that is I7 4600, and for what im going to use it is cool.
RETURN IT IF POSSIBLE, it has a fatal design flaw that causes the hinge to break after a few months
@@endergamer794 i change it for an msi sword, is better?
@@endergamer794 Bro, I already ordered before I saw this comment. Are you sure the hinge is broken on all models? My friend uses it and is very satisfied.
Glossy screens are ultra annoying
Who doesn't
Huh?
@@Loopyroopymoopy Do you?
@@veryrealperson3694 .what.
DO NOT BUY THIS SHIT.... really poor build quality mine broke just a year after. 3-4 months after the warranty ended. I was folding it to read something and bottom left corner of the screen just popped out when I tried to close it back up the screen broke a little and turned off instantly.
thanks for this dude, been tempted, but yeah sounds like its just a waste of money
ALL SOLD OUT COSTCO
How are 5he speakers I hear dolby atmos but I find budget hp sounds way better then any Lenovo
is the storage upgradeable ?
5700u vs 1235u?
Ryzen 7 5700U Zen 2 .is it good for Online teaching..??
It's beyond great. Will last you 5 years.
Can you edited 2.7k videos
After 2months hinge is broken lol
can this be used as a dedicated streaming pc (obs)
AMD 5000 series Ryzen 7 or inter i7 ?
Wow... $425 in 2022 in best buy... That's hella cheap
(Refurbished)
I have a hp pavilion with the same processor
Which body material plastic ya aluminum??
Can this laptop handle, autocad, sketchup and basic lumion render? 🥺
Can you run computer vision with this laptop
Cool wallpaper. Where can I find it ?
Holy screen glare Batman!
What??
it is goof for autocad and matlab? someone tell me please
good insight; one help : which one is the better choice: i5 11th gen + mx450 (or) this one Flex 5 with Ryzen 5700u ?? that really helps to take a decision....
I'm not an expert but I don't doubt that any Ryzen 7 will perform better than an i5. Or at least since that was the case for Intel's 10th gen, I assume that because both have upgraded the Ryzen 7 stays better.
The Ryzen 7 5700u is much better and beats i7's in some benchmarks. I wouldn't touch intel.
Yep. As a general rule, AMD gives you more performance for less money.
Intel 11th gen iGPU is stronger, I think. The review is right about the lack of color accuracy on the Flex 5, esp. noticeable on videos.
ram in dual channel?
Can you connect monitor tu usb c port?
So what is the dirty secret of this laptop? Was it even mentioned?
250 nit screen and only usb c charger included in the box
Should I buy this over Legion 5 ryzen 5 one

@@AnilKumar-mp9hk okay np when i get it I'll update you !
nice video. Can I easily do a 1080p video editing for multi-camera video shots at 120fps ?
No, definitely no. I have a laptop with 4600h and with the IGPU only, I cant even edit 1080p 30fps video properly. If you want to edit video buy Macbook, or something with some beefy graphics card. My laptop has a 1650ti, and it's barely usable for editing.

Hi, I'm hoping you can give me advice on deciding which of the ideapad slim 3 that has the best value for money :
ryzen 3 5300u (567 usd)
ryzen 5 5500u (635 usd)
Core i5 1135g7 (676 usd)
ryzen 7 5700 (711 usd)
My main needs are for data analysis tools such as SQL, Tableau, Python/R, and Spreadsheets.
Thanks in advance!
ordered mine already from costco might have to buy 2 more but I'll wait for the 5800U

Hi, thanks for the video.
I'm interested in buying a Lenovo Flex 5, but from my country (Argentina) I only get two versions to buy at the moment, the Ryzen 5 4500u version with 16GB Ram and the Ryzen 5500u version with 8GB of Ram. Taking into account that Ram memory is not expandable, which one would you recommend?

@@endergamer794 proof?
@@jamesmonteiro_ Trust me bro
@@mg6192 lmao true 🤣
Happened to me, and it cracked the screen when that happened
Is this laptop good for drawing?
From what I could gather, the touch and pen features are great for sure, but the screen and color accuracy is average. So it’s probably enough for light drawing and editing, not so much for more serious work.
DON'T BUY IT, it has a fatal design flaw that causes the hinge to break after a few months
i7 or Ryzen 7😭 someone help me😭
Why u looks like Paul Walker?🥺💔

As an avid Lenovo ThinkPad user, I don't see this as even being a viable purchase unless you "have no choice"....or if its "gifted" to you. Otherwise, Why buy a laptop with a lousy hinge and so much flex on the keyboard deck that you could have a hamster use it for a trampoline?!...LoL! As for web-cams and such, I get that sometimes you want the "best" picture / video quality?....but most business meetings?...only want to see your head / upper torso and hear your input on whatever topic is being discussed, I seriously doubt the exec who uses their MacBook and iPad at home?...could care less about their video quality and audio on their Windows work laptop! To me?...I think a lot of the sticking points that are spoken about in the industry are just irrelevant. One example?...the fact that some content creators feel the need to mention that "You Can Open This Laptop With One Hand".....unless you only HAVE one hand?...this isn't a "feature, this isn't a perk, or a benefit. If anything?..it shows a hinge that's not "tight" enough...but that's a personal preference, and they need to stop mentioning it....along with webcams and audio, which might only be important to video / audio studio engineers, or content creators who focus on graphics and such....in which case you'd think they'd be buying and using high-end stuff?.....I dunno...that's just how I see it.
