But even if you're not into development, the quality is solid, great keyboard feel (much better than my mac) and trackpad very accurate. I don't really use the touch screen or fold it 360 to use as a tablet, but a nice option.
The only negative is after 2 yrs I noticed the battery life starting to shorten, but that's from 9 hrs to around 7. Still not bad. I'm not counting when I'm developing. It will go down to 3-4 hrs, but that's fair when running some heavy apps.
My Mac is on its 10th yr and after using this don't think I'll be getting another one. Hard to justify $$ when this works just as well if not better.
Good:
The convertible screen ended up being incredibly valuable, once I finally got my hands on a USI stylus. I used it to take notes directly on PDFs of my lecture materials using Squid, and it really upped my study game.
If you're already deep in the Google ecosystem, this is a really handy device to have. My Pixel paired easily and now I can see my text messages on my computer. That's really cool.
Startup takes no time at all.
The battery life is impressive. I can consistently get at least 8 hours of heavy use, even with my brightness turned all the way up. It charges really fast, too.
The screen is clear, bright, and vibrant. I'm used to a much larger screen on my Windows laptop, and the transition to this smaller screen was easy, because the quality is so nice.
It's a durable little sucker. I'm kind of hard on my electronics. Four months of daily use, and it still looks the same as it did the day I unboxed it.
The keyboard is excellent and I love that it's backlit. I wish it had a 10-key numpad, but it definitely wouldn't fit one.
The touchpad is also excellent and I love that it supports multi-touch.
I'm just a big fan of Chrome OS. It's simple and easy to use. There's almost no learning curve. It has a lot of fun little tricks that make it really simple and efficient to use.
Okay:
The RAM is sufficient for my needs. It gets a little laggy when I have a lot of tabs open and apps running simultaneously. By "a lot," I mean like 20+. I currently have 12 tabs, one of which is a youtube video, and Google Hangouts open and it's running fine. It sometimes struggles to handle having multiple youtube videos open, or having a youtube video paused in the background while I do a video call. It has crashed on me a few times, almost always when I have multiple youtube tabs or streaming services running simultaneously. But as long as I'm careful about how much I have open at one time, it's fine.
The touchscreen is just okay, even with the USI stylus. It's not bad exactly, but sometimes it takes a while to recognize my USI stylus. I'm not sure if that's a problem with the stylus or the Chromebook. Palm rejection, latency, and smoothness vary a lot depending on the app you're using. (I tried every handwriting app in the play store.) I've never used it to draw. I wouldn't use this as a tablet replacement. It's a little bit too big and the layout is a little bit too unwieldy.
The app selection is okay. You can run most Android apps on a Chromebook. Usually they work fine. Sometimes they're a little clunky.
The webcam is alright. It's nothing fancy, but it's fine for video calls. I like the privacy cover.
Bad:
The speakers aren't great. They're loud enough, but they're tinny with no bass. The speakers on my Pixel 3a are objectively better. I almost always use headphones, so this isn't a huge problem for me - I didn't even notice until I'd already owned this Chromebook for a few months. But if listening to music without headphones or an external speaker is important to you, this might not be the device for you.
Overall, I'm very happy with the Flex 5. I would recommend it if...
You already have a more powerful Windows or Mac device and want something lightweight, cheap, and sturdy to carry around.
You're caught between buying a tablet and a laptop, because you want a bigger screen/better keyboard/more traditional computer-like interface than you can get with a tablet, but you don't want to spend a ton of money on a laptop or sacrifice features and durability for a low-tier laptop. (This is the perfect compromise for that, especially if you're already a Google/Android user.)
You're a light computer user who basically just wants an internet machine, but you want a nice internet machine. I would highly recommend this for an older adult or a kid who doesn't need any fancy software.
You already own Android or Google devices and want something that will complement them.
That being said, the laptop was still good for basic tasks like video watching, browsing the web, writing essays, etc. It's nothing special, but it will get the job done and is a decent device for the pricepoint.
Overall, 4/5.
Top reviews from other countries
We deliberately ordered this item from the Canadian amazon site, thinking it'd be covered by Lenovo Canada. We also had the intention of purchasing the extended warranty from Lenovo Canada. Unfortunately, this item was shipped from the US and is only serviced in the US: "This machine has a 1yr limited warranty with Mail-in Service in the USA only. If you're in Canada, and want the machine to be serviced, the machine's warranty claim won't be covered in that country. You will have to send it to the USA with shipping arranged for and paid by you. In addition, this machine does not have the International Warranty Service (IWS). Chx_Lenovo"
For us, this is a deal breaker and we will be returning the device.
The Lenovo Flex 5 13" stood out for a couple of reasons based on the reviews I read. Right off the bat it has a decent fully HD (1920x1080) screen. I think the screen looks great -- nice brightness and good contrast. The viewing angle is a bit limited as I noticed that swaying left to right even a little bit started to affect the viewable colours on the sides of the screen but overall the effect was negligible.
The touch screen was a bonus. I know my son likes to work with his iPad so I figured at times the touch interface could be more intuitive. The screen can be flipped back into tablet mode and the touch screen worked well but it's certainly not as comfortable to hold as a slim iPad. Plus, you now have the keyboard exposed on the "bottom" which is a bit awkward. Sometimes it is just easier and faster to just touch the screen than use the touchpad though.
The interface and browsing was pretty snappy with the Core i3-10110U Processor. The 4GB of RAM was the main factor that had me hesitating on this purchase but so far it hasn't been a problem. I'm very pleased with how fluid and responsive the system feels.
Keyboard has a decent size, it's backlit, and it feels good for a notebook. The touchpad is also fairly large and it's responsiveness was perfectly fine. Note that if you have never worked with a Chromebook before, it DOES take some getting used to some of the touchpad gestures. For example, you don't just click the right side of the touchpad for a right-click, you need to tap the touchpad with two fingers. You can scroll windows by swiping up and down with two fingers. etc. I personally do not find the Chromebook interface to be very intuitive which is a bit of a concern for my younger son but I know he'll learn. Many options are simply hidden from the screen and you just need to know the appropriate gestures or button clicks to work your way around the system.
Speakers face upwards and I found them plenty loud. I don't expect great quality from built-in speakers but these did the job.
The Flex 5 13" also has a full size USB-A connector which some Chromebooks don't offer. It might be a minor thing but this makes it easy to connect any typical mouse or memory stick you probably have. I think this is just convenient for people without the technical know-how to deal with converting USB interfaces. There are also USB-C ports on both sides which is also convenient.
Storage-wise, the Flex 5 13" comes with about 46GB of free space out of the box.
No problems connecting to Wifi. The connection remained stable and fast.
Overall I am please with this purchase. I have nothing to complain about. I was probably hoping to spend about 3/4 of the price for a Chromebook ($538 at the time of my purchase) but I think the little extra money was well spent in this case. Except for the 4GB of memory, I don't feel I've compromised on anything. Being a newer product it will also continue to receive Google updates for a while.
UPDATE: We've now used the Chromebook for the entire school year and it has been fantastic for my son. At least half the year, if not more, was remote learning and we never once had an issue with WIFI, the camera, or audio with Google Classroom. Also, the 4GB of RAM (my biggest concern) never seemed to be an issue either. My son tends to leave a LOT of browser tabs open and we never encountered any noticeable slowdowns. Very reliable Chromebook that has performed GREAT for the year -- still very pleased with the purchase!
Settled on this laptop. With trial Prime, I got it in a day.
Boots up very quickly and after going through a few simple steps, got the chrome OS updated to 84. So far so good. It has one camera (facing user) but couldn't get it to work. It is functional (there is a website that tests it "online"--works great). No way to turn it on/off??? Camera is not listed in the installed apps.
There was no camera app included and I was not going to use a 3rd party app on a brand new machine.
Called Lenovo and after an hour on the phone, THEY KNOW NOTHING/NADA/ZILCH about Chrome OS (specifically, where is the camera function). They only know WIN10. Referred me to google (as it's Chrome OS). NO ONE HOME at google due to virus so no phone support.
So, get back in touch with Amazon and because of trial Prime, they sent a replacement (and I received it) the next day. Great service guys!
Ok, got the replacement and this one has a camera app. Camera works. Next issue: casting and sleep mode.
Well, it does cast and does so flawlessly. BUT the issue is when the laptop goes to sleep (~5 min), it shuts down then shortly thereafter (ie when in sleep mode) casting shuts down (pauses). You have to close the lid, open the lid, re-start the laptop and then re-start casting. Not going to do this 40x over the course of a 2 hour movie.
2nd unit going back.
THE GOOD: love the keyboard action, the overall feel of the case (does leave fingerprints I must say) and am happy with the display. Response time is good but because of the noted issues, I only had it for a day for "testing" it's abilities.
THE BAD: no fix for sleep mode. There is no button to either lengthen the non-sleep period nor to disable sleep mode at all. No good for casting (chromecast, firestick, whatever). From reading online, this issue surfaced with most recent chrome OS update. No solution.
THE BEST: Amazon customer service was the best ever. Thumbs up to you!
I can’t figure it out and this computer is useless for me.
Right off the bat, she found it straightforward to use except for the gestures being different from her Android phone. She found the keyboard and touchpad straightforward to use, and appreciated the ability to use Touch on the screen. She really liked the rapid (about five seconds) start up, and the ease of simply closing the lid To stop. One stumbling block was that all her photos w're on the Mac in their proprietary Photos app, but we found the excellent Photos Takeout app to save them on an external drive. She will now store them in Google Photos (with a local back up of course). Another bonus is being able to use all of her favourite. Android apps on this machine if she wants to.
Apple stopped OS updates for her machine years ago, so I really appreciate Lenovo's decision to support this machine until at least 2028.
I was prepared to send the machine back if she had any difficulty, but we soon realized this machine was perfect for her needs. In addition, my daughter called me soon after to ask for my recommendation on replacing her old MacBook, and after only half an hour with this one to check it out, she also ran out and ordered one right away.
The only reason I didn't give 5 stars what is that it would have been nicer to have 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM, but perhaps that model is on the way - and those features would have increased the price, anyway.
