Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14 Ryzen 7 Review: Fastest 14-inch Convertible In The Market

8-core AMD Ryzen 7 5700U Debut. As if the mobile Ryzen 4000 series wasn't already impressive, the mobile Ryzen 5000 series kicks it up another notch for even higher performance-per-dollar to outclass every other 14-inch convertible currently available.

The IdeaPad Flex series is home to some of the cheapest convertible laptops from Lenovo. As this review will show, however, that doesn't necessarily mean these models are inferior or slower than many others in its class or even those that costs hundreds of dollars more. The latest Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14 convertible carries the latest Ryzen 7 5700U Zen 2 Lucienne processor from AMD to be one of the very few (if not only) 14-inch convertibles with a U-class octa-core processor.

Specifications otherwise read like a textbook including the 1080p IPS touchscreen, 16 GB DDR4 3200 MHz RAM, and 512 GB NVMe SSD. Our exact configuration can be found online for just $750 USD. Competing models include other budget convertibles like the Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1, HP Pavilion x360, Asus VivoBook Flip 14, and Acer Spin 3.

Case

When compared to the 2019 Flex 14, the 2021 version has a thinner "chin" bezel for an overall smaller footprint. Its visual design is otherwise very similar including the integrated ports and thick lid. Build quality remains above average for its budget category as creaking is minimal and flexing is only moderate at worst when applying pressure down the center of its keyboard. The overall plastic makeup and soft-touch surfaces don't feel nearly as luxurious as the metal Spectre x360, Yoga, or carbon fiber ThinkPad models.

At 1.6 kg with a thickness of 20.8 mm, the IdeaPad 5 14 is somewhat large and heavy for its category. Other 14-inch convertibles like the Latitude 7400 2-in-1 or LG Gram 14T90N are noticeably smaller and lighter albeit more expensive as well.

Connectivity

Port options are plentiful but with a couple of limitations. Firstly, the HDMI port is 1.4b and not 2.0 meaning there is no 4K60 support. Secondly, the USB-C port does not support Thunderbolt or even DisplayPort unlike on most Ice Lake or Tiger Lake laptops. Users can charge the laptop with either a proprietary barrel charger or a generic USB-C charger.

Maintenance

The bottom panel is secured by nine accessible T5 Torx screws. It comes off surprisingly easily especially for an inexpensive convertible where servicing is usually more difficult. RAM is soldered while storage and WLAN are not.

Accessories and Warranty

There are no extras in the box outside of the AC adapter and paperwork. Interestingly, our package includes a USB-C AC adapter instead of a barrel AC adapter even though the system supports both. The active stylus pen is an optional accessory.

A standard one-year limited manufacturer warranty applies.

Input Devices

Keyboard

IdeaPad keyboards don't hold a candle to the pricier ThinkPad keyboards as they have always been noticeably shallower and lighter to reflect their cheaper starting prices. The Space and Enter keys in particular are too soft here and could have benefited from firmer feedback. Even so, we find the keys on the IdeaPad Flex 5 14 to be overall crisper than on the competing Asus VivoBook Flip 14 or HP Pavilion x360 series. 

Touchpad

The clickpad is decently sized (10.5 x 7 cm) with a smooth and slightly rubberized texture. Fingerprints accumulate extremely quickly as a result and so users can expect the clickpad to look unsightly after just a few short weeks of use. Its integrated mouse keys are also spongy, loud, and with weak feedback when pressed for an unsatisfying experience.

Display

The display here is perhaps the biggest aspect differentiating the IdeaPad series from the Yoga series. Visual quality is noticeably worse on the IdeaPad as exemplified by the lower maximum brightness, narrower gamut, and more poorly calibrated colors. It works well enough for browsing, emailing, and the occasional games, but you'll definitely want to look at the pricier Yoga convertible if picture editing, outdoor visibility, and more vibrant colors are of high priority. Connecting an external monitor with more accurate colors is also an option.

* ... smaller is better

Color space is narrow at just 62 percent of sRGB to indicate a budget IPS panel as opposed to >95 percent of most mid-range to high-end Ultrabooks. Results are similar to the cheap Asus VivoBook Flip 14.

X-Rite colorimeter measurements reveal a poorly calibrated display out of the box with an overly warm color temperature. Images look very yellow and "off" even without having a second display to compare to. Grayscale and RGB balance improve dramatically after calibrating the display ourselves as shown by our Calman results below and so we recommend applying our calibrated ICM profile above to get the most out of the display. Colors become increasingly more inaccurate at higher saturation levels due to the aforementioned narrow color space.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
23.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 12.4 ms rise
↘ 10.8 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 47 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
38.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 23.2 ms rise
↘ 15.2 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 52 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18110 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Outdoor visibility is mediocre at best due to the limited maximum brightness of the display. In fact, maximum brightness will drop from 236 nits to only 204 nits if running on battery power unless if AMD Vari-Bright is disabled. Glare is ever present even if working under shade.

Performance

The Ryzen 7 5700U is Lenovo's wild card for this particular IdeaPad 5 14 configuration. As one of the first laptops in our database equipped with the Zen 2 5000U series Lucienne CPU, this IdeaPad will have a lot to live up to as users will inevitably compare it to the latest 11th gen Tiger Lake options from Intel. It also carries a notable distinction of being an octa-core U-series CPU with 16 simultaneous threads much like the last generation Ryzen 7 4800U.

We recommend owners become familiar with the Radeon software as all graphical settings are found here. The software UI is organized arbitrarily and confusingly, but it integrates more features than Intel Command Center. Users should also become familiar with the pre-installed Lenovo Vantage software for Lenovo-specific drivers and performance settings. Our unit was set to "Extreme performance" mode prior to running any performance benchmarks for the highest possible scores out of the laptop.

 

Processor

Raw CPU performance is incredible with CineBench scores that outperform even the Core i7-10875H in both single-thread and multi-thread loads. When compared to the already impressive Ryzen 7 4700U that our Ryzen 7 5700U replaces, multi-thread performance can be about 25 percent faster. Intel Core U options continue to be limited to just 6 cores and 12 threads at most.

Storage Devices

Internal storage is limited to just a single M.2 2280 slot with no secondary options. The 256 GB Western Digital SN530 NVMe SSD is advertised with a maximum read speed of 2400 MB/s which we are able to confirm with both CrystalDiskMark and DiskSpd tests. Performance is faster than the competing Samsung PM991 in the VivoBook 14 Flip.

GPU Performance

Graphics performance hasn't changed since last year's Ryzen 4000 series which is good because the Radeon RX Vega 8 is still impressive for an integrated GPU, but it's also bad as Intel has now caught up with its competing Iris Xe series. At best, our Radeon-powered Lenovo is able to match Iris Xe or, at worst, underperform by about 30 percent depending on the game.

Emissions

System Noise

The system is quiet during low loads like browsing or video streaming with just very minor electronic noise or coil whine. If on Balanced mode or higher, fan noise may occasionally stabilize at 29.9 dB(A) to be audible but not vexing.

The story changes when running higher loads like games. In such scenarios, the IdeaPad Flex 5 14 will be noticeably louder than most other subnotebooks and convertibles as shown by the table below. You're probably not going to get away with playing DOTA 2 in the lecture hall without annoying others around you.

Cooling solution consists of two heat pipes and a single ~50 mm fan

Temperature

Surface temperature development is not ideal as the left half of the laptop will always be warmer than the right half. When running high loads, the left half of the keyboard can be about 45 C compared to just 28 C on the right half for an uncomfortably uneven experience. The competing Asus VivoBook 14 Flip exhibits a similar issue but on its right half instead of its left half.

Stress Test

When running Prime95 to stress the CPU, clock rates would boost to 4.3 GHz for the first one to two minutes until reaching a core temperature of 98 C. Clock rates would then steadily fall before stabilizing at around 3.5 GHz to maintain a cooler core temperature of 83 C. Maximum CPU Turbo performance is therefore not sustainable for extended periods as to be expected for most subnotebooks or convertibles.

When running Witcher 3, GPU clock rate would remain stable at 1900 MHz for a reasonable core temperature of 76 C. The Intel Tiger Lake-powered HP Spectre x360 14 would also stabilize at around the same temperature range when running the same game.

Running on batteries will not significantly impact CPU or GPU performance. A 3DMark 11 test on battery power would return Physics and Graphics scores of 11089 and 5497 points, respectively, compared to 10503 and 5710 points on mains.

Energy Management

Power Consumption

Power consumption is comparable to Ultrabooks running on the Intel 11th gen platform despite the superior processor performance of our AMD Ryzen 7 5700U. For example, running Witcher 3 on the HP Spectre x360 14 with the Core i7-1165G7 would consume about 40 W to be just one or two Watts less than our IdeaPad. The CPU performance-per-watt of the Ryzen 7 5700U is therefore even more impressive than the Intel Tiger Lake series while its integrated graphics performance is roughly on par.

We're able to record a maximum consumption of 65.5 W from the small (~11 x 5 x 3 cm) 65 W USB-C adapter when running Prime95. This only lasts temporarily as shown by our graphs below due to limited Turbo sustainability.

Battery Life

Runtimes are quite long considering the small 52 Wh battery at over 12 hours of real-world WLAN use. Recharging from empty to full capacity with the included USB-C adapter takes just over 90 minutes. The adapter can be used to charge other USB-C devices including smartphones, tablets and laptops with USB-C Power Delivery.

Verdict

In review: Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14 82HU002YUS
In review: Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14 82HU002YUS

The highlight of the latest IdeaPad Flex 5 14 is clearly its AMD CPU. The octa-core Ryzen 7 5700U is insanely fast even when compared to the best Tiger Lake Ultrabooks in the market or even Core H CPUs in many gaming laptops. It's a lot of raw processing power for what is supposed to be a budget 14-inch convertible.

If your daily workloads can benefit from extra multi-thread CPU performance, then look no further than the inexpensive AMD-powered Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14. For regular on-the-road browsing or video streaming, however, a slimmer and lighter 10th gen Core Yoga, Spectre, or XPS would be a more balanced option.

Look beyond the CPU and almost everything else is more or less mediocre and reflective of the affordable price point. The IdeaPad Flex chassis is thick and heavy for in its size class and also louder when running games. The clickpad, Enter, and Space keys are spongy, the poorly calibrated IPS touchscreen is too dim for outdoor conditions, the soft-touch plastic chassis is a huge fingerprint magnet, and there is no Thunderbolt or DisplayPort support despite having a USB-C port. The long battery life and easy SSD upgrade deserve a mention, but they don't really make up for the longer list of disadvantages.

Price and availability

The Lenovo Flex 14 5 82HU002YUS is currently available at Costco for $749 USD or Newegg for $799.
