Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 (14", Intel) in-depth review

Today, we have the brand new Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 (14). Its a stylish little 2-in-1, which should be good for work, light gaming, and, of course, be used as a table. Or, at least that's what Lenovo wants you to think. From what we see in the official specs sheet, we see only two display options, both of which are 1080p panels, but one of them is an IPS one, while the other is a TN.We're definitely going to investigate the prowess of the IPS panel (as we got that one). Before that, we have to tell you that the Ideapad Flex 5 (14) comes in two major iterations - an Intel one and an AMD one[...]

Pros

  • Versatile and stable hinges
  • Good battery life
  • SD card slot and Wi-Fi 6 support
  • Doesn't use aggressive PWM (LP140WFA-SPMB)
  • Optional fingerprint reader

Cons

  • No RAM upgradability post-purchase
  • Extremely hot under load (Intel + NVIDIA combo)
  • Covers only half of the colors in the sRGB gamut (LP140WFA-SPMB)
