All in all, the Flex 3 11's value proposition is tempting, offering a full-featured 11.6-inch Windows convertible for $349. It has limited but adequate performance for most everyday apps; a comfortable keyboard and touch pad; solid overall quality; and support for occasional tablet mode and presentation easel configurations as well as laptop use.

The Lenovo Flex 3 11-inch is easily the best 2-in-1 of the budget bunch when it comes to multimode use and functionality. The convertible also offers more than 6.5 hours of battery life, which is good for a budget system. But not so fast -- literally. The $379 hybrid has some serious shortcomings when it comes to performance, coming in second to last in our testing.

Lenovo Flex 3 11 Review – small, flexible, and ready for business
Source: Slashgear English Archive.org version
The Lenovo Flex 3 11 is a budget laptop that doesn't feel like a budget laptop, and that makes it the most appealing among the maker's latest low-tier offerings. The Yoga-like flexibility and the touchscreen are both big perks over the Lenovo S21e and similar models, and the design is more professional, making this an option for consumers who want something that is cheap but that looks professional.

Lenovo Flex 3 (11-inch, 1120) review – handy and affordable convertible for everyday use
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
The Lenovo Flex 3 11-inch is a decent convertible for casual use. It offers basic performance that is mainly suitable for browsing the web, playing some not so demanding games or writing. The change in the flexibility from 300 on the previous generations to a full 360-degree Yoga-style rotation is a welcome improvement. The overall design of the device is quite good and stylish, the notebook feels solid in hands and even though it has a really low price it does not have the usual plasticky feel of a cheap device.

Comment

Model: The Lenovo Flex 3 is the latest laptop with 360 degrees hinge, which enables this laptop to be used in notebook mode as well as tablet mode. The 11.6 inch capacitive touchscreen supports multi touch inputs and features a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. The device uses a 2.16 GHz Intel Celeron processor, 4 GB of RAM and the integrated Intel HD Graphics.

Next there are a total of three USB ports, one of them USB 3.0 port, an SD card slot, an HDMI port and an Ethernet jack. The chassis is mainly from plastic and there are two colors to choose from; black and white. The weight is a mere 1.3 kg and the battery life is up to 5 hours according to the manufacturer. Thus, this Windows 8.1 64 bit system is fairly portable. Finally, this convertible laptop is a multi functional device with a rigid build, which is suitable for work and entertainment.

Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail):

Integrated GPU for tablet and notebook Bay Trail SoCs. Based on the Ivy Bridge GPU with four Execution Units and support for DirectX 11.

11.60":

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.
