66% A desktop replacement really only has to get two things right: power and price.

Here, the Lenovo Flex 2 15 nails it. All configurations have a fourth-generation Core i processor, and they are available for as little as $529 to $799 as of this writing – well below the MSRP. With this in mind, it’s easy to overlook the glossy display and questionable build. It’s also easy to give Lenovo a pass for Stand mode. It takes nothing away from the overall product, and some users might actually find it useful.

The IdeaPad Flex 15 is an affordable touchscreen convertible laptop that switches into Stand Mode to become part-tablet, part-laptop. It's a great concept that Lenovo has already used on the Yogas and Yoga Pros, but here it's gone to waste due to an utterly catastrophic display (low brightness, low contrast, exaggerated colours...)

For a laptop that makes such a striking first impression, the IdeaPad Flex 15 doesn’t quite fulfil its potential. The design is lovely, and the combination of power and stamina is unusual for a budget model, but we can’t help wishing Lenovo could have found room for a better-quality display. Still, that’s a complaint we’d level at pretty much every budget laptop we’ve seen in recent years – ultimately, an improved display would only transform the Lenovo from good to great. At this price, the IdeaPad Flex 15 remains a budget laptop to be reckoned with.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 15-59393845 continues Lenovo’s unique flexible laptop concept. Costing about only 450 US dollar, the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 15 is leaning more on the cheaper side. However, that does not mean that it comes with under-par specifications.

The heart of the device is a 4th generation Intel Core i5-4200U with a clock rate of up to 1.6 GHz and integrated Intel HD Graphics 4400 card. In addition, the laptop features  a 500 GB HDD and a 128 GB SSD. Paired with 8 GB RAM, the device will rarely give any issues with casual usage.

Furthermore, the display is also noteworthy. The 15.6 inch HD display supports up to 10 fingers multi-touch and has a resolution of 1368 by 768 pixels. As for connectivity, the device supports 802.11(b,g,n) as well as Bluetooth 4.0. The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 15 also houses the basic ports such as 2 USB ports, 1 audio jack and 1 SD card reader.
