Lenovo Flex 5 14 Laptop, 14.0 FHD Touch Display, AMD Ryzen 5 5500U, 16GB RAM, 256GB Storage, AMD Radeon Graphics, Digital Pen, Windows 10H

So the first thing I noticed when setting it up, was how fast it went to the windows setup screen on initial boot. Being someone who fixes and builds PCs and laptops I really wasnt expecting that. Knew right there that it must be that 5500U rockin it. The laptop comes preinstalled with Windows 10 20H2 which is the latest version as of this review date, so that is a plus. The screen was a bit dim at first and I had noticed in the reviews that another said it was too dim. After adjusting brightness under Windows mobility, it looked much much better, though could honestly be just a bit brighter but not horrible. The colors were off a bit and I had to do some calibrating in Photoshop settings to account for this. I noticed during Windows updates that the cooling fan would ramp up quite often & is somewhat noisy. This ramping up concerned me a bit so I did some additional testing. I tested both Heaven and Cinebench while running HWMonitor in the back ground. The results I got were 38c at idle and 94c under semi-heavy load. I wasnt too impressed by either the idle temp or the high temp. I did see a bit of throttling occur because of this. So while you CAN game on this quite nicely, Id honestly suggest a cooling pad underneath for a little extra protection. Tablet mode/flipping the screen works quite nice, and as I stated in the headline, this is great for Photoshop. My daughter, being a digital artist, uses a pen tablet at her desk to draw on, so I gave this one to her. She was absolutely tickled pink to have a Windows 10 laptop/tablet to run Photoshop on while on the go. Going to hand down her old laptop to her aunt. Overall, I think this is a pretty Bad-azz laptop with alot of power and alot of punch, but because of the thermal issues Im seeing, Im going to deduct 1 star. The thermal issues I saw do not at all make this a bad laptop and do not reflect what one would commonly see with casual use. I simply took it to a higher thermal point on purpose for informational purposes. So even though I am deducting 1 star for my own personal reasons, I absolutely would still recommend this laptop if you are looking for a flip type tablet with lots of processing power on the go as long as you dont mind an occasional ramp up of the cooling fan during heavy loads.

The laptop is decent albeit somewhat flimsy, but overall the worst part is the implementation of the stylus holder. Not only does the holder clip open constantly under its own tension, but it plugs into an actual usb port. Its point of weakness is the structural integrity of a usb port, and it breaks than you break your USB port as well.

This works great. love how easy it is to use. its pretty lightweight battery lasts a long time nd the tablet mode is so cool. can do way more than any tablet can do and runs fast.

First off, great price from seller conputersUSA. Screen looks great in 1080p, touch screen works nice and the amd is plenty enough power for my sons gaming needs on steam. Perfect size and flexibility

I got this mainly for doodling with Photoshop and a lightweight thin foldable laptop and this is absolutely the best option! Ive had no issues since getting this delivered and the screen quality is superb! I have oily fingers and was afraid this screen was going to be more monitor-like than tablet-like but i was pleasantly surprised when i felt it was like a tablet! Definitely a great purchase!

Powerful and cheap laptop, very functional

This is a nice little laptop. I have been using it for a couple months now and I really have no complaints. I am not a gamer but I dont think a gamer would even consider this one anyway. I am a lover and streamer of Netflix and other services. I do research and work from home on it with no problems. I have not tried out the features that make this a good choice for creative types. I think it is a good middle tier device that will work well for most people.

I use this laptop when I travel, mainly for checking email, weather, and watching movies. I dont use it for anything that needs extensive processing power, so I cant speak to that, but it suits my needs very well.

THE GOOD:

Managed to get it for $600, what a steal for the price !
