Reviews for the Lenovo Flex 14IWL
The 2019 model Lenovo Flex 14 offers a decent amount of performance considering its USD $800 price tag. While it fails to stand out in any meaningful way, it is still an overall good bang-for-the-buck convertible.

Archive.org versionAt the end of the day, the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 14 2-in-1 laptop is a great laptop and worth picking up. You can’t look away from that affordable starting price of US$359.99 and the specs that come with it. Sure, there were a few things that you can take away as cons such as the slow bootup times or the sound quality being too quiet but everything else makes up for those issues. I’d recommend this laptop to anyone who is looking for something while on a budget and doesn’t need anything too powerful.

Intel UHD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2, 24 EUs) found on some Kaby-Lake-Refresh CPU models (15 W ULV series). Technically identical to the previous Kaby-Lake GPU called HD Graphics 620.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
