    Lenovo Flex 5 (14″) in-depth review

    With the higher price of the new Yoga 520, compared to the older Yoga 510, we get not only apparent visual improvement but also a much better chassis, more comfortable input devices, improved portability and, of course, more powerful hardware. This is the stepping stone to the Yoga 720 and sells for roughly $150 less with the same processor. Interestingly, though, the trade-offs that come with the lower price tag aren't as many as you might think and maybe not that important to some users.While the Yoga 520 is offered in a variety of configurations, we got the most affordable one with the Core i3-7100U CPU. We also have an M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD support on board, 8GB of DDR4-2400 memory, a 14-inch touch Full HD IPS panel with reasonably thick bezels and the sides accommodate pretty much[...]

    Pros

    • Good build quality
    • Great input devices
    • Decent IPS display for the more budget-oriented configurations
    • The panel doesn't use PWM for regulating screen brightness
    • A lot of upgradability options for a 14-inch device (2.5-inch HDD + M.2 SSD slot + RAM slot)

    Cons

    • Subpar battery life
    • The display appears to be a bit dim and color-deficient for the more expensive configurations with Core i5 and i7
