Reviews for the Lenovo IP Flex 5 Chromebook Plus 14IAU7
Source: It Pro
The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook Plus has a few short comings; the screen lacks brightness, punchy colors, and its overall feel is not as premium as it could be and the performance and battery life don't match up. There is a more expensive version with a Core i5 1235U chip and a much larger storage spec (512GB SSD). However, the real interest will be the price. The IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook is currently worth around $349, almost have the price of the Acer Chromebook Spin 714. Chromebooks are still the affordable option for businesses, even with the 'Plus' designation, and the IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook Plus is bargain within the bugest market.

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.
