Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14IAU7-82R7007XGE

This $679 Lenovo IdeaPad has a clever feature that makes it a budget laptop winner
Source: Zdnet.com EN→zh-CN
Lenovo's IdeaPad Flex 5 is a great laptop for what it's designed for. Whether it's for use in schools, an enterprise setting, or for users who want a locked down and highly optimized laptop, its modest suite of hardware (and agreeable $679 price point) go much further than they would otherwise. If you don't like the idea of using Windows S mode, there are other budget laptops that I'd suggest instead, like Acer's Aspire Go 15 for $299. If you like the idea of a streamlined and efficient laptop for an agreeable price, but want more integration with Google's suite of apps and services, you'd be better off with a Chromebook like Lenovo's Duet Gen 9.

80% Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i 14-Inch (2022) Review
Source: PC Mag EN→zh-CN
Overall, the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i 14-inch is well-built, easily handled with a comfortable keyboard and a bright screen, and relatively capable for its price. You certainly wouldn’t use it as a PC gamer—but for general office work, it offers enough performance. The screen is a bit of a wild card, since we tested 400 nits, while Lenovo only promises 300, and the color coverage could use a boost. Still, if you’re a general student or at-home worker (who isn’t these days?), this could be a smart pick. If you want a better display for a couple hundred dollars more, check out the Lenovo Yoga 7i. If you yearn for faster performance as well as a better screen, consider the Acer Spin 5. But, for someone who just wants a modestly priced, versatile, and easily moved convertible for office tasks, internet browsing and webcam sessions, look to the Flex 5i retail version.
