I needed this kind of review. All the professional reviews are kind of commercial and you can't understand this laptop is good or not. Thanks for this one.

[phelobelo]

Getting this soon honestly waiting on it in the post and couldnt wait to open it myself so im just going to watch yours lmao

[angvarma]

Great video, Which AC adapter do you get or will get to be able to use the USB C port?

[tylovset]

Cool review! I got the european version of this, but I'm surprised how many differences there are:
- Matt screen, 300nits
- Two usb-c (one for charging), no power pin connector
- MicroSD card reader only.
- Power button placed on same side but up near the screen
- No physical camera cap. (tiny, not too impressive camera, tbh)
- Narrower screen bezel, different hinges (one long bar)
Very happy with it.

Thanks for the review. I want to get the 250nits 8GB RAM variant for web development and light gaming because that's the only available option where I live. Is the glossy screen an issue? I noticed it reflects light a lot.

The best 2 in 1 from the market, one bad point the USB-C port don't support video outpot . Thank you for the video !!

Is this a good laptop for illustrators?
I'm an artist and I want to start making illustrations. Will I have troubles with it?

[hummadam]

Hi, I am not at all a "techie" but need advice of which is better value for money performance -wise
An Ideapad flex 5/ HP envy x360 2 in 1with :
Ryzen 5 AMD 4500u with 16GB RAM, 256 SSD OR a
Ryzen 7 AMD 4700 with 8GB RAM and 512 SSD ?
Thanks!!

[someshramrakhyani]

can you tell me the current status of the laptop is it working fine and also about the hinges.

[fahmiirfan]

I like edge more. Its lighter than chrome (for now at least) and it uses chromium, same engine with chrome, so any web that only works on chrome will also works on edge

Planning to buy one ... I hope you could do a review on it running Autocad. Subscriber here!

Love my Flex 5-though mine has a Intel processor, a 11th gen i3-1115G4. Bought mine on Wednesday.

[corbin]

Great review bro very thorough. I'm deciding between Asus Vivobook Flip 14 and this, do you feel like the extra 8GB of RAM on the Lenovo is a significant difference?

[HighguyMcfly]

There's a port for a berrel charger on the side, you can buy a barrel charger for $20 on amazon, sucks it dosn't come with it but last years version didn't even have a berrel port.

[jtae]

Hey could you maybe tell me how the sound is? And is that laptop loud? Bc i already stopped using my ps4 bc it got too loud and i don't want to have the same problem with a laptop :)

[freeaudiogalleryforyoutube]

dedicated graphics available this laptop???

[adam]

So can you charge the laptop with the usb C port

[gehovanybonilla]

Bro, do u recommend the Amazon's seller that you left in the link? I would want to buy one.

[FCD]

The power cable thing confuses me as I have the flex 5 and love it but as I live in the UK I got the round power adapter and was told that I can only use this and the laptop cannot be charged via USB C however I've also been told it can and upon checked the USB C port it has a icon that looks like a power plug which the round power slot has next to it as well. It's weird how lenovo here claim it doesn't charge via USB C even though it seems to support this.
