80.7% Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 16 review - An affordable 16-inch 2-in-1 with a Ryzen 7000 | Notebookcheck
With the IdeaPad Flex 5 16, Lenovo is offering a large 16-inch 2-in-1 which even includes a stylus and all for under $1,000. Internally, the AMD Ryzen 7 7730U is based on an old processor, however, despite this, performance is still competitive.

Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 (16 AMD, Gen 8) review – well-priced quiet 16-inch transformer
Source: Laptop Media English
If you are looking to buy a big 2-in-1 laptop without breaking the bank, the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 (16″ AMD, Gen 8) should be on your shortlist. The notebook offers a good bang for the buck. It has a big IPS 16:10 touch display (LEN160WUXGA (LEN8156)) with comfortable viewing angles and a good contrast ratio. Still, the sRGB color coverage is low but that’s okay because this machine isn’t meant for content creation or other color-sensitive work. The optional stylus works really well, the gliding is smooth, and the unit is cozy for work because of its thick diameter. The performance is up to the standard because of the refreshed AMD Zen 3+ CPU of our machine and the good cooling system. The latter has just two heat pipes and one cooling fan that is unusually (near) quiet even during long periods of 100% CPU stress.

Comment

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.

16.00:

This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.
