Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased two Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebooks for my sons for school, and I’m extremely happy with the decision. The 14” 2K touch display is bright and clear, the performance is fast and smooth, and the battery lasts through the entire school day. The build quality feels solid, and the keyboard is very comfortable for typing. Both kids use them daily for homework, Zoom classes, and browsing, and everything runs flawlessly. Great value for the price. Highly recommend!

High-quality Chromebook that is closer to a Macbook than you would think. Given chrome is so light weight that the increased memory and processing power is amplified. It is very fast, the display is sharp and bright, and to be honest the keyboard has better feel than our Macbook. Plus a year of Gemini and online storage for free to boot. Buy it, this thing punches above its weight. It is a little heavy, but quality can come with a weight penalty.

Absolutely love my Lenovo Chromebook. I just retired and had to turn in my work computer. I looked at a lot of different brands, talked to a lot of people and the Lenovo Flex Chromebook was the perfect purchase for me. Easy to set up & has a home at my kitchen table!

This Chromebook is really great. It has enough power to do all of the writing, browsing, and light gaming that I need to do. And it looks and feels great to use. I usually like the chromebooks without any fans for cooling, but I like the better performance that this Chromebook offers. You can see the vents on the bottom in my photos. Also, you can run Google play apps and Steam on this Chromebook. This opens up a lot more possibilities for productivity and gaming. Battery life is average, but that's only one of the few complaints that I have.

I goofed not making sure it was a windows device, and the keypad doesn't always work right in all the spots. That bottom corner didn't work for a minute, then it did, but the right clicker really doesn't. Despite that it's still a fantastic product I'm happy with and don't regret buying! Cool thing, you can flip it like a tablet and it's fully touch screen all the time!

This device is excellent for the price. The display is great, processor has ample headroom for chromeos, speakers are better than any other chromebook, build quality is solid for the price. I have no complaints. I would point out how nice it is both sides of the device have a usb c port which support charging. Not a necessity butthoughtful inclusion.

Purchased as an "around-the-house" computer, and it fits my needs perfectly. Runs pretty fast for the things I need: spreadsheets, email, online browsing, and some video watching. For the price, it's a solid everyday computer.

Is the best computer i ever got it so comfortable.

My son really likes the Lenovo Chromebook He is using for school work and a little gaming too

Love the Chromebook. It’s been awhile since I had a new laptop and this has been so easy to use. I love the touch screen also. I am not too tech savvy but I love it.

The laptop that addresses all my needs - fast, efficient, friendly and most of all cost effective.

I've had Chromebooks since they first started supporting Android apps, ranging from basic Acer models to more recent ones like the Asus CM34. The Asus is a direct competitor to this Lenovo, and I must say, the Lenovo is a much better experience. There's no weird dynamic contrast on this model, which the Asus exhibits, it feels much slimmer and lighter, and it's less of a fingerprint magnet. In my search for a decent laptop, I also purchased the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED with 16GB of RAM, but that thing is simply overkill for every day use. This Chromebook does everything I need and zips with ease with whatever I ask it to do. CPU and RAM do their job. Performance is very smooth. ALT-TAB, gestures, web page loading, switching tabs, it's all just crisp and fast. Screen is great. It indeed does seem to be around 300 nits of brightness, contrast is good, colors are solid, and 60hz is fine. Forget the usual SRGB nitpicks, this screen is all you need for media consumption and typical tasks. Its touch capability is responsive and this can indeed replace a tablet since it's a 2-in-1. Time will tell if Lenovo's infamous hinge issues begin to develop. The hinges have a nice stiffness, do not creak, and seem properly assembled on my unit. Keyboard feels fantastic. Use ALT + the gear keys to adjust the backlight levels. Feels clicky, responsive, no issues. Hitting ~90 WPM without a hitch almost out of the gate. Will only feel better with more time. Touchpad feels solid as well. I don't think it's glass, but it's silky smooth. Satisfying click. Zero qualms with it. Port selection is great. Love that there's a USB-C port on each side, which the Zenbook annoyed me with since it had both on the same side. Micro SD slot is a little iffy. I wish the card didn't stick out at all, since this laptop will live in a backpack and move around. 128GB of built-in storage is adequate enough, I suppose. Physical side buttons for power and volume are a nice touch. Speakers get decently loud and I'm very happy they're top-firing. Bass is lacking, but I'd rate overall clarity and dynamic range about a 6.4/10. This is coming from someone who runs Focal Performance car speakers for their front stage and Monolith home speakers, so take that as you will. Battery life seems accurate, maybe ~7-8 hours with BT enabled, reasonable screen brightness/KB backlight settings, and light CPU load. No comment on stylus support. I prefer something like a Samsung Tab S8 for that, since you definitely need higher refresh rates for smooth inking. 8.7/10, easily one of the best laptops of the year. It does nothing outright wrong and it has no glaring flaws. Maybe battery life could be better? I chalk that up to the Intel CPU. Otherwise, this laptop checks just about every box you can think of. Once the usual open-box deals start to trickle in, this Chromebook Plus will be VERY hard to beat for the money and trounce comparable Windows laptops in the ~$400 price bracket.

I have several desktops I've built and several laptops, so no stranger to computing technology. Discovered Chromebooks and loved the idea. Bought my first one over 10 years ago, loved the ease of use, the safety and especially the price, and have gone through several over the years. I keep one next to the couch for quick lookup of information, cruising the 'net, watching a few videos, and checking work and personal email. I was intrigued about the new Chromebook Plus when they first came out due to all the upgraded specs. Decided on this Lenovo model over others since it has the touchscreen, the 2-in-1 design, and more recent processor. Bought this one with Best Buy's Black Friday sale so got it even cheaper. This has been the BEST of the bunch. The I3-1315U processor, released in January of this year, makes it scream with speed...MUCH faster than my previous Chromebooks. With 8GB of memory haven't been able to bog it down yet. The 128GB storage is more than enough for my needs since I keep everything in the cloud, may not need to use the microSD. Great display...clear, bright. Number of USB connections is OK. Battery life is OK...I'm typically getting about 8 hours. Good keyboard, appreciate the back lighting of the keys. Touch pad tends to be a bit touchy (not a pun)...be careful about hitting it while typing. All in all this is the best Chromebook yet that I've purchased or used. As long as one understands what a Chromebook is and what it does and its use case, I strongly recommend this model.

I'm very happy with this Chromebook after trying a similarly priced option and really disliking that one. This Lenovo looks and feels quality, has a great screen, acceptable battery life, and the display is very nice. I'm working on multiple screens with many tabs and Spotify playing in the background and the speed and flow is pretty much uninterrupted. Very happy!

With a beautiful 14” screen, backlit keyboard, fast i3 processor, 8gb RAM and 128gb storage, this Chromebook is more than enough for my use. Open as many tabs as you like. Will take with on trips, lessen the worry if lost, damaged or stolen, compare my MacBook. Battery life is good, not great, but that’s expected with the powerful I3 processor. But what a beautiful screen. I definitely recommend it!

Was looking for a less expensive laptop for internet browsing and note taking in informal meetings. I bought a chromebook back in the early 2010s, and I wasn’t blown away. Decided to take a chance in 2024 based on some positive feedback from others. I am extremely impressed! The laptop is quick and responsive, and integrations have come a long way. You still have the android store for general apps, and the native google apps which work well with the chromebook, but now there’s the possibility of installing apps that function like desktop apps through linux, which is also natively supported. Setting up the VM is incredibly easy, basically done with a few clicks. Now, I have VScode and an in-built linux vm to play with. The device i thought I’d just use for web browsing, I can now do mostly everything I need to on (short of gaming). Additionally, the battery life is great (when not running several apps or your linux VM), and the interface is very responsive. The touch screen and the way it can convert into a tablet is also really convenient. Overall, great purchase for the price!

This was the third chromebook I purchased during the past 10 years. I was not impressed with the previous two chromebooks and so I gifted them away to friends. However, this Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5i is a keeper. I use it mostly for browsing the internet and email. The performance of this machine, including quality of the screen, keyboard, battery life is astonishing. At the price range of up to $700 (I paid $328 including sales taxes), this is the absolutely best computer I ever experienced. The Chromebook plus redesign by Google made a huge difference. The performance rivals much more expensive Windows 11 machines. From now on, I will follow the Chromebook market closely. One improvement which Google should implement in the future is a user adjustable charging level of the battery of up to 70% for users who use this notebook as a desktop constantly plugged into a power outlet. That would significantly extend the life span of the battery.

I have been using this chrome book for about a week and I can safely say it's the best Chromebook I've ever used. The battery life is fantastic, the screen is solid, and the speed is also very good. I have not run into any problems so far. The only thing that I would say it was a negative would be the weight. It's a bit heavy but nothing too bad.

This Chromebook has all that you could ever ask for the price point. It's better than some Chromebooks and even laptops that cost higher the amount. - Bright stunning screen - Speedy with no lag using multiple apps - Great trackpad and backlit keyboard - Awesome port selection - Great battery life to last you all day Only con is it's a little on the heavy side. This Chromebook is future proof and will last you for years.

Nice folding Chromebook. Only one stylus works with it so don't rely on the Amazon chart that shows what digital stylus works. I had to call Lenovo to find out what works: USI Stylus Pen for Lenovo USI Pen (4X80Z49662) The Chromebook I bought was a floor sample. I bought a Samsung 4 TB external SSD to use with it. It is pretty speedy for a Chromebook because it has an Intel i3 CPU. The 2K screen is very nice.
