Wish they selected the SMT models. power consumption is not that much different and I'm sure people will be happy to pay a bit more for double the thread count. non SMT models shouldn't even be a thing now.
@@the80386 SMT is useful only if you do actual heavy work on a laptop- but for simple media consumption 6c/6t is more than enough. And for games- the bottleneck is on the iGPU anyways. So for most users- no SMT CPUs are just fine, even if planning to use the laptop for ~5 years. In that sense- picking 16GB of (soldered) RAM is more important.
Hope companies start buying these for business laptops....I'm loving it. And Lenovo is right down the street here in Raleigh, NC.

Got this for my mom, build quality is great for the materials used, Lenovo really knows their stuff with materials. Feels like a much more expensive, Al/Mg chassis than it is. Performance for what most moms use it - awesome and it does well in more demanding stuff too. Sticking to Lenovo these days is not too hard, owning several ThinkPads has taught me that.
@@firasco There are some differences- different RAM/bandwidth (performance difference needs to be tested), Slim7 pushes a bit more power, has (an option?) of a brighter screen, and is a bit more high-end in price and build. What I liked in Lenovo slides- they say it supports freesync- if true, that would be really nice to have.
@@firasco A store in Finland is estimating the 4800U Slim 7 to arrive in week 31 (last week of July/first week of August), and week 30 for the 4700U version. Don't know how reliable that is, but it's all I've got.
Still waiting as well, assuming it has option for a nicer screen. The mediocre screen is the main reason I haven't jumped on the Flex 5... at least we've finally moved away from 1366x768 though, right?!
I've got a bad feeling that what if we end up losing this fantastic reviewer due to the viewing ratings in comparison to those others with soo little in depth reviews and just a few bullet points with Alot of flashy graphics...I hope she doesn't give up on this channel and in those who trust her voice above all others...
Thanks Lisa, like many I couldn’t wait for you to a detailed review on this laptop. I was especially interested in real-world opinion of the display, as the laptop specs seem really good for the price.
I love the sleek, professional look of thinkpads and their keyboards are a dream. That being said, why can't they finally improve the quality of their screens? It's such a big turn off to have these bland looking colors with semi-optimal brightness.
Got this just days ago, I had 3 years of bad experience with a dead Dell XPS and a crashing crazy HP envy, let's hope this idealpad lasts 3 or more years.

I recently got the previous generation with Ryzen 7 3700U and it performs really well. I can just imagine how this one will be with the improved AMD cpu.
@@95shila no lagging and still running well, even with the upgrade to Windows 11. I wouldn't use it for any heavy gaming, but it would probably work fine for some light gaming.
Costco has this laptop with the ryzen 7. If you don't have a membership the warranty they have on the devices essentially pays for itself. Well worth it at 750 bucks which less than the reviewed model that comes with a ryzen 5
You mentioned that the ram is soldered at 2:41 are you sure about that? The previous lenovo and most laptops I ve seen have 1 soldered and the other upgradeable. edit I now saw the tear down, I guess you right, that's sad :/
I have found Lisa's comments about fan noise not to be the case for me. Unless in battery saver mode the fan on this thing fires up intermittently and loudly, almost whistling. On charge the thing whines constantly. If you Google this it seems I am not alone with this Lenovo driven problem. Loved the fit and finish and speed of the Ryzen 5 but if I wanted to live next door to a major airport I might not be bothered by the sound of this thing being drowned out! It got returned and I suggest you try one out in a store before you buy. Hope this helps y'all.
Be careful about the ryzen 5 if it has flimsy top plastic top . It will bleed to the touch. I had permante bleed marks within less than a month, marks within less than month, I returned it for the Ryzen 7 model that has a metal top.
I bought the i5 version without reviewing any about it because I'm on the rush and there are no stocks of the other laptops on my choice list. But I can say that I just bought a multemedia beast laptop
hi Lisa I've been looking at these lenovo 14" laptops with the new ryzen cpus and I was wondering if the Huion Kamvas 13's usb-c would be enough to power and transfer data for that single usb-c cable it has
Envy x360 is a premium note book series. Screen is far superior and build is metallic. It's also expensive model any model ds or ez with 16GB 512GB NVMe and 4500U costs well above 850$ on hp.com
As was mentioned in the video, there's also the HP Envy x360 13, which has a metal chasis and an option for a 400-nits screen with much better color coverage. Now there's also the HP Omen.
I still don't get why they don't all come with 2 nvme slots.... even if they have to share PCI-E lanes or something or even if one is really only SATA. With 4bit-MLC NAND Flash becoming more common it just makes a lot more sense to have 2, that way you can have a 4bit drive for storage and a 2bit of 3bit drive for the OS and work.
Hi Lisa, I love your reviews! Very informative and fun always! Now, let me share my ideapad story: I bought recently an AMD Ideapad 5 from Lenovo UK, not the Flex version. I got the Ryzen 7 4800u version with 16GB of RAM. Whats not to love about it, hun?? Well. Ideapad keyboard was a big issue for me! I bought it to replace my T430, and gave up (returned it) after a couple of days. The ideapad 5 keyboard was a deal-breaker! It does not compare to the Thinkpad experience! Besides, I missed not having a TrackPoint on the Ideapad!
@@Honza90 Hi John, I don't know if the Flex Lisa demonstrates is available in the UK/Ireland with another name. The one I bought (& later renturned) is the ideapad 5-15ARE05 Laptop (pcsupport.lenovo.com/gb/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/5-series/ideapad-5-15are05), without the pen/touch screen
@@abruni83 Ok cheers Antonio! I've just had a look at the Irish Lenovo site seems to be called an Ideapad 5 (no sign of a touch pen though) www.lenovo.com/ie/en/laptops/ideapad/s-series/IdeaPad-5-14ARE05/p/88IPS501392 I'll hold old and keep having a look I want to replace my beloved Flex 2 and quite like the one Lisa reviewed here!
@@Honza90 Hey, the 14 inch variant (the one you've linked) does not have a touch screen so yeah no pen. You can find touch-capability in the 15 inch variant (has slightly better thermals and louder speakers too from what I've seen in reviews). The 14 inch variant is probably going to be my next machine very very soon (upgrading from an overheating surface pro 4). It's unfortunate that the Ideapad 5 doesn't have 2 in 1 functionality, but the pure value for performance is super convincing for me. If I do end up needing touch, I can get a small drawing tablet and still have change left over in comparison to getting the flex 5 (at least in my area (Australia). Alot of drawing tablets are also capable of just being a secondary screen too, so that's a plus. So if you do decide to get it, you should get it quick. It's been unexpectedly popular (the AMD variant), and Lenovo is struggling to meet supply for demand.
The non-upgradeable RAM is a real bummer, so definitely opt for 16 GB. Bummer about the display as well. I guess I should just hook it up to my Dell P2415Q monitor for color-accurate work. Nevertheless, this is very tempting. I might have to pick one up and see how it handles DaVinci Resolve. The real selling point for me: the full-size SD card slot! :D No more attaching a dongle just to pull photos off my camera.
Most of the reviews that I've seen say that the keyboard is good or better than average for a laptop in this price range. I have however, seen one reviewer say that he didn't like the keyboard
Waiting to see what you'll think about the new HP envy if you ever review it. Also I really love your videos, but to me sound is a pretty important factor in buying my laptop and I'd like to know what I should expect from my laptops. But that's all your decision for sure ! Great videos, love your work.
Hey Lisa, awesome review as always! Been your fans since 2010. I have the Flex 4 with the same physical ports layout. Can I ask you for a favor to check if your demo unit has the same USB port issue I am experiencing on mine. With the two USB ports on the right, if you have something (eg. usb mouse dongle) plug in to the port closer to the LCD hinge. Whenever theres an another USB device plug in to the second USB port, first device disappears until you disconnect the second. I have tried with multiple types of devices(eg. dongles, external HD, USB drives) and they are disappearing as well. So far I am only able to find a few recent posts on Lenovo support forum with this issue. Thanks Lisa!
Looking for advice. Ive not had a laptop in over 10 years now. I do everything on my phone however I've just started making UA-cam videos and now I'm considering getting a laptop to do the editing on instead of using my phone to do it all on.

What about the display on outside sunlight use? It is the screen readable in a sunny day?
I'm using the Acer Spin 5 and this laptop has so many similarities!!
