Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 (16 AMD, Gen 8) review – well-priced quiet 16-inch transformer
Disassembly, Upgrade options, and Maintenance
For removing the bottom panel, you have to undo 9 Torx-head screws. After that, you can pry the bottom panel with a plastic pry tool. The easiest way is to start from one of the top two corners.
The battery is a 52.5 Watt-hour unit. Expectedly, the first thing to do is to detach the battery connector from the motherboard. For removing the battery, you have to undo the 3 Phillips-head screws that are keeping the unit in place. The capacity is enough for 11 hours and 7 minutes of Web browsing or 10 hours of video playback. A good result!
For storage, there is one M.2 slot compatible with Gen. 4 (2242) SSDs. Due to AMD platform limitations, the slot is downgraded to Gen 3 speeds. The installed NVMe is protected by a metal shroud that has a thin thermal pad on the inside. The memory here is soldered to the motherboard. The maximum possible amount of RAM is 16GB of LPDDR4x-4266MHz memory in a dual-channel mode.
The cooling solution has one big fan and two heat pipes.
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
