Lenovo IP Flex 5 14IAU7 Chromebook review

The good,

  • Affordable. I bought a refurbished one for ~300 USD.
  • 16:10 ratio 1920x1200 screen is good for office work and web browsing.
  • It has a USB-A port.
  • It has a USB-C on each side. Both supports video output and charging.
  • The camera has a privacy shutter.
  • The screen's hinge can rotate 360 degrees.

The bad,

  • It is 2cm thick and weighs 1.5kg.
  • Screen is glossy.
  • Screen brightness is 300 nits.
  • 8GB RAM can be a problem if too many tabs are open.
  • The USB-C ports does not support Thunderbolt/USB4.
  • No dedicated HDMI/DisplayPort.

Specs

  • Intel Core i3-1215U CPU
  • 8 GB LPD4X-4266 RAM
  • 256 GB SSD

My conclusion: It is an affordable entry level laptop.
