I would highly recommend this laptop. It is fast, light weight for traveling, and the best part is that I can use it like a tablet because the screen folds over and is also touch screen.

This is the perfect tablet and laptop in one. Very easy to use, light, and resourceful. The 360 degree bending makes it easy to setup however you like it. I use it for nursing school and I love how light, skinny, and small it is to fit in my backpack with all my huge books. I use my Lenovo to pull up slides for research and type all my papers. This is great for transport.

My wife wanted a small laptop that was easy to carry around and be able to browse the Web and help the kids with their homework..
I found this baby and I can't be happier with it. Small, lightweight, fast, a ton of memory and also you can use it as a tablet.due to the fact that you are able to flip the screen around and use the touchscreen to enter in tablet mode.

now that I have a little understanding of what's going on with this computer I'm learning how to navigate The web with some ease. movies Music & games download very quickly. Cortana is trying very hard to be helpful. overall I am impressed and very pleased with its performance. I'm going to recommend to all my friends that they take the Lenovo Flex 3 out for a test spin around the web

This laptop has everything I need - good processing speed, good memory, 500 gb hard drive. A big plus is the flex: being able to use it as a regular laptop, folded back into a V to use as a stand or folded all the way backwards to use as a tablet with a touch screen on-screen keyboard.

We made the purchase because it was a bundled deal, so my only pre-purchase reviews was based on the information in the store.
But I have been looking for something simpler to take on my business trips. So far, the only downside I have found is the system doesn't like to play my games (which I do on my downtime) but everything else seems to work great. You have to get used to the accidental changing the size of the screen, usually I enlarge it 150%, and learn a lighter touch is required. I have installed office for my word processing and excel requirements and typing on it is amazing, almost like using a full size keyboard. I do miss my number keys though. Over all this is a great on the go computer and the ability to use it as a tablet when traveling saves space. I love the attached keyboard and the cost was amazing.

Purchased this as an open box item for $229 at my local Best Buy and for the price I have no complaints other than the battery isn't the greatest. I use this for college and it does what I need it do. I like the touchscreen feature and the tablet mode for watching videos. I have no problems hooking up to the wireless and printing wirelessly. Installed Microsoft office on it and it works fine to type all my school papers.

This is an adequate system to surf and do Word documents. It is very portable and we purchased it for a student to take to class. I would recommend if you aren't planning on doing to much at one time. It isn't as fast as some of our more expensive laptops, but it's OK.

First time I have ever purchased a Lenovo product and bought it because a salesman on your website recommended it to me. It does what I need it to do and has some nice features. I like the versatility and ease of use. I just wish it was faster.

Fits in my camera messenger bag. Great travel laptop/tablet combination. I thought the keyboard would be too small for heavy use but to my surprise it isn't. I have typed on it all day. The only things I miss are the home and end keys, and the number pad. I carry a 6 foot HDMI cable for plugging in a big monitor. Love the product. For less than the price of an iPad mini which is only a tablet, I get a full blown laptop and a tablet with a 50% bigger screen than the iPad. Great value!

Bought this at best buy a little while ago because it was significantly cheaper. I'd recommend looking around for the best price.
Short story is that it's a great laptop. Touchscreen is super accurate and responsive. Keyboard has a very nice feel to it, seems to be Mac inspired. I bought it to do basic tasks like browsing Internet and word as a compliment to my other computer. I didn't try to run anything too extensive, but ran FTL well and appeared to be able to run MATLAB decently. Is very light and portable which was my primary concern. The Yoga feature is really cool. Battery life lasts beyond the 5 hours that some other are claiming.
I really recommend it, quite pleased with my purchase.

We originally were going to get tablets, but for their age (10 & 13) we figured they were ready for a laptop. This is a good choice as a transition device, still can function as a tablet, but a lot more powerful then a tablet. They mainly use it to stream videos, check email, browse the web & type out their homework.
Performance is as expected in an entry level PC. Flipping from laptop to tablet mode isn't as smooth as advertised, but still nice once you get there. Disabling the keyboard when in this mode is a nice feature. Touch screen is responsive & has a nice picture.
For the price & situation we purchased ours for, I would recommend this laptop.

This is a good laptop for the price. If you're looking for something that is a step up from the 32GB base laptops but don't want to spend a lot of money.
As a 2nd laptop, I decided to return the laptop due to the battery life and the weight and opted for one of those basic 32GB models that can last a whole day and weight only 2 pounds.

Well, you do get what you pay for. The one good thing I can say about this laptop is that it is cheap. Other than that, it is pretty slow and lags a lot when I try to watch videos and surf the web. But it is a good laptop if you just need something to email with and do the bare minimum while traveling since it is very light.

Have tried a couple of cheaper models Lenovo and they were just too slow. This would be 5 star if it had better battery life but has relatively small battery. Still easily 4-5 hrs and screen brightness makes a big difference. Lightweight and premium feel and THIS processor can play some gaming where cheaper Lenovos cannot. Some markets have a Best Buy exclusive version that is sometimes a little cheaper but has this processor and 4GB ram.

This lenovo Flex is a good bang for the buck. It is not a low end laptop with no frills. This unit has quite a few good features that make it an excellent alternative for some - mind you - it is not the Yoga either. Every once in a while the mouse will freeze and you have to switch to touch to get it to recover - i believe this to be a hardware/software issue that will most likelybe fixed with the next update or 2, This does not make it non functional - just an inconvenience at times. The unit has great up time on the battery - and the hard drive gives lots of space - although not as fast as an SSD. The screen resolution is fairly good and the color is decent. the WIFI works awesomely and has great range. This is a solid design as well - being able to change from a laptop to a tablet and several places in between make it extremely valuable. Dollar for Dollar - I feel that you wont be disappointed in the unit. Just remember it is a lower mid range device and not a Yoga.

It's cute. Smaller than I expected. It's different than using a tablet and different than a laptop. I've had trouble convincing my email that it is my computer.
I would have preferred store pickup over home delivery. UPS left it outside at the end of my driveway leaning against the garbage can. If we had not left home to attend a meeting that evening, it would have been picked up with the trash the next morning. I was VERY unimpressed by the UPS delivery.

For the price you can't beat it with any other brand. This brand has made a house hold name with me. They have progressed into a great company. The computer is fast and has lots of memory. The dual use of tablet or computer is great. The only down fall would be the weight. It's a bit heavy for the size.
