Reviews for the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14IRU8
Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i 14IRU8 review: Affordable 14-inch convertible with Thunderbolt 4 | Notebookcheck
The IdeaPad Flex 5i 14 looks very attractive at first glance with its low US$574 starting price and Thunderbolt support, but the fixed 8 GB of RAM is a huge asterisk and the price to upgrade is absurdly high for what is supposed to be a budget 2-in-1.

Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i 14 (2023) Review

The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i 14 offers decent everyday performance and impressive battery life, while delivering above-average build quality and a versatile if not ultra-high-resolution display. It's a fine choice for convertible shoppers watching their wallets, but if you can stretch your budget to $1,000 or a bit beyond, Lenovo's own Yoga 7i 14 offers a sturdier all-metal build and available screen and CPU upgrades in an even better midrange 2-in-1.

Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i 14 (2023) Review
Source: USA Today
Finding the perfect mid-range 2-in-1 laptop isn’t easy. There are plenty of great models selling for over $1,000 like the Lenovo Yoga 9i and more budget models than you can count, including HP’s Envy x360. But finding a model like the IdeaPad Flex 5i isn’t as common, and while it isn’t a powerhouse, it still offers respectable performance. The display isn’t the brightest or most colorful, the responsive touchscreen makes up for much of this. Similarly, the sound is far from impressive, and its weight slightly limits the utility of the Flex 5i in tablet mode. However, considering the price tag, especially the $645 8GB model, the low points are easier to live with than they would be on a higher-end laptop. But as long as the downsides don’t seem like they’d impact your specific use case, the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i 14 absolutely worth considering in your quest for the ideal mid-range convertible.

The Lenovo Flex 5i falls into the common cheap laptop pitfalls
Source: Digital Trends
While the Flex 5i 14 has solid productivity performance, its battery life is a real hindrance. The display is bright enough and offers excellent contrast, but it’s greatly diminished by the poor colors. The build is a little flexible, and the LED distortion is a concern. At the sale price of $550, the Flex 5i 14 might offer the right combination for a budget-conscious buyer. But at $800, it’s blown away by some much better laptops.
