Niestety mam Lenovo flex 5 z 14″ wyświetlaczem i od razu odradza zakup, niestety wylamuja się zawiasy z obudowy wyświetlacza bo działają dość ciężko i firma odrzuca taki sprzęt z gwarancji bo jak twierdzą do otwierania została użyta siła, są nawet wpisy na forum Lenovo i znalazłem też info w sieci że stanach uznają takie reklamację A u nas naprawa może sięgnąć 1000 zł
