Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 Chromebook (Core i3)7.5/10Maybe. If the IdeaPad Flex 5 was available in a configuration with the Core i3 CPU and 8GB RAM, I would have no hesitation recommending it as the 13-inch Chromebook most people should buy. The Flex 5 is buil...
Dim screen, Awkward bulk in tablet mode, Aggressive throttling limits performance
The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 isn't a bad machine, just an awkward one. It fulfills every promise, checks every box Lenovo says it will. It is technically a 2-in-1 machine. It's just that the laptop part of this equation works significantly better than the ta...

No Thunderbolt 3 port, Stylus is optional, Keyboard layout not ideal
It's unwieldy, like all 15.6-inch convertibles, but the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5-1570 is an attractive 2-in-1 at a bargain price. If you're seeking a bigger laptop/tablet experience, it's worth grappling with...
