Lenovo Flex 5 14 on sale for $649 USD with one of the fastest AMD U-series CPUs in the market
The AMD Ryzen 7 5700U can easily outperform any 11th gen Intel Core U-series CPU when it comes to multi-thread performance. The fact that it can be found on a relatively mid-range Lenovo convertible like the Flex 5 14 makes it surprisingly affordable.
Costco is currently running a sale on the Lenovo Flex 5 14 2-in-1 for $150 USD off the original launch price of $800. The deal is notable for its Ryzen 7 5700U processor which is one of the fastest U-series CPUs at any price range.
Other features of the configuration include a 1080p touchscreen, backlit keyboard, 16 GB of soldered RAM, and an upgradeable 512 GB NVMe SSD. We appreciate the spacious RAM capacity here as many other Lenovo deals would come with just half as much.
We recommend checking out our full review on this system to learn more about what it has to offer. We especially liked the easy serviceability, long battery life, and impressive multi-thread performance especially for the price, but its relatively dim display, heavy weight, and lack of Thunderbolt or DisplayPort-over-USB limits the travel and docking capabilities of the model. The Flex is a budget-oriented Lenovo convertible, after all.

After graduating with a B.S. in environmental hydrodynamics from the University of California, I studied reactor physics to become licensed by the U.S. NRC to operate nuclear reactors. There's a striking level of appreciation you gain for everyday consumer electronics after working with modern nuclear reactivity systems astonishingly powered by computers from the 80s. When I'm not managing day-to-day activities and US review articles on Notebookcheck, you can catch me following the eSports scene and the latest gaming news.
