Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 (16 AMD, Gen 8) review – well-priced quiet 16-inch transformer
This time around we’ll show you the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 (16″ AMD, Gen 8). This is a transformer with a big 16-inch touchscreen and the notebook is based on the AMD’s Barcelo-U Refresh CPU platform. We already reviewed another “Flex” laptop from the same family and that’s the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 (14″ Gen 8). The latter performed very well for its size and since the machine in front of us is configured with the same processor, we are impatient to see how fast the bigger sibling is (because it has a wider chassis so the cooling will benefit from this).
You can choose between two display options and the top one is a 2.5K IPS panel – if you prefer a crisper image, this is the way to go but the high-res panel will have a negative impact on the battery life so keep that in mind as well. Speaking of battery life, the AMD U-series processor are well-known for their efficiency so we are expecting good results in this section but more on that later.
The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 (16″ AMD, Gen 8) isn’t a pricey laptop that has potent hardware under the bonnet. Let’s test the laptop now because we want to inspect its capabilities in-depth.

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
