Flex 14 2-in-1 Convertible Laptop, 14 Inch FHD, Touchscreen, AMD Ryzen 5 3500U Processor, Radeon Vega 8 Graphics, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB NVMe SSD, Win 10, Black, Pen Included

No matter what the YouTubes show, leave the little rubber feet alone. To upgrade memory you must difficultly remove all 10 bottom screws. Older versions one had to remove the bottom rubber foot pads, but not with this model. I used Crucial 16GB Single DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) 260-Pin SODIMM Memory - CT16G4SFD824A This took my OS memory from 4GB to about 20GB. The soldered in 4GB seems totally for the display adapter/GPU. Taking out the 10 bottom screws and especially prying and popping the bottom is absolutely best to be done by an experienced for real soul, and even then with a sense of adventure. The replaceable RAM slot is covered in the center with a cooler, big silver cooler, which must be pried off/popped. It's easily popped. I did not touch the SSD, hardware wise. I am going to say it, this upgrade is NOT FOR NOVICES. The upgrade SSD replacement is easily there for you, but I was not remotely interested, yet. I am running a dual boot Win10 and Ubuntu/Linux, and the boot, performance, all of it, even the touchpad, are off the wall fantastic. I gave Ubuntu about 64GB for now. I have had three ThinkPads, and while I miss the little red mouse toggle between G & H, and I cannot believe I am saying this, the touchpad is FANTASTIC. The keyboard is not ultimately great, but the LED backlighting and the travel of the keys is fantastic for the thickness and weight of the unit. Pros: The most powerful computer I have ever owned, as upgraded with 16 GB of ram. Cons: Pulling the ten screws on the bottom, (do NOT remove the foot pads), requires the exact right tool. Prying the unit apart for the upgrade is terrifying. Getting into the BIOS or boot order, is a very strange business. You must start with a cold cpu, I must have my screen open, and one puts a paper clip end into a just big enough hole to the right of the power on button, and with the paper clip hitting that very small button, then you power on, and release the paper clip. BTW, unlike my previous ThinkPads, you cannot join HDD security password with System On password, so after much testing, I just have just a system on password on this new platform. I really like a LOT of Chinese products, and my first three ThinkPads were made in the U.S.A. My last ThinkPad was made in China, and drawtfted, without mitigation, my prior versions. I believe the cpu and integrated gpu are absolutely monsters. I've given it the read comic books on Kindle test, and the screen passes, full grades. While I have not thrown my UHD Netflix at a 4K screen on my newest platform, I have no doubts. Most folk do not understand the dif between UHD (Ultra High Defintion) and 4K. The terse answer is not much. Mostly, steaming great resolution services are UHD, while 4K TVs can do some very little more provided with the right signal. This laptop can stream Netflix to a 4K TV in UHD resolution via a HDMI cable. OK, bottom line: If you want just Ubuntu/Linux, your will be satisfied, but you still want to upgrade the ram. If you want Win10, absolutely pop in a 16GB stick of ram. Update: I had a Win 95 ThinkPad with a USB port, no kidding. Totally kludged. I had the last ThinkPad made in the USA. My Made in China Thinkpad, for $500 refurbished, 2 core, 4 threads, is barely alive. I LOVE the touchpad on this new unit. I never thought I'd write those words. The screen is PERFECT. Sound is as good as it gets on a dinky laptop. Fn-Spacebar turns the keyboard LEDs on and off. I LOVE that, because although I am a touch typist extreme, the fancy keys show up. My speculation is that ALL ram will be soldered before I die. BTW, one must pop the ten screws off the bottom to replace the battery. I might buy another to have a spare, or as the ultimate gift. It comes with Win10 Home, and Ubuntu/Linux works beautifully, dual boot. I am astonished. I do not need a bigger SSD, as I have a NAS. I have five Cat 7 Ethernet cables planted, and one is a spare. This laptop is on Wi-Fi and I will never buy the Ethernet cable dongle. The screen is spectacular, and I simply cannot imagine a better screen. I have seen OLED screens but at this size and this cost, this is an unreal deal. For $520 ish including tax and delivery and 16 GB ram upgrade, well, goofy Window cheats aside, when Windows is good to go on the screen, but not for reals, this thing boots so quickly, skip hibernation altogether, EXCEPT, been there done that, always just leave the swap files of Windows and Ubuntu, and hibernation files stuff, ALONE. Our lives are too short to screw with any of those.

Been using for 15 weeks. A lot of travel, Excel, and gaming. Pretty insane to get a ryzen 3500, vega 8, Pen, Finger print, USB C, and IPS screen all on a 14" laptop for 450. I popped in a $60 16gb stick to replace one of the 4's, now I have 20GB, 2 of which are dedicated to the gpu, so 18 free, and I usually have a 100 things open so I often use up to 13 or 14 GB. I would not like this machine at 6 open GBs. All in I paid $510 and got something that rivals, or even exceeds, $1000 tier Intel machines. Battery is just fine, but it eats it up quick when I play Rocket League, so I imagine it's the same or worse for AAA games. Once every few days or so the screen goes black for like a fraction of a second, like it's resetting or something. I dont really mess with the video card settings, so maybe I could do something to help the battery or that rare flicker. Both of which I consider small issues. Not nearly big enough to knock it down a star. Touch screen is excellent, better than the Yoga 2 Pro I replaced. I use touch screen more than track pad, by a lot, probably like 80/20. I love taking quick screen caps and drawing on them with the pen, it has come in handy more times than I thought it would (signing documents, memeing, note taking). This thing is thin and 14" is IMO the perfect size laptop screen. Maybe slightly heavier than I would prefer, but that's got a lot to do with the vega 8. Im very happy with the purchase after over 3 months of use, and I hope it lasts 4+ years. Specs-wise it definitely will, but who knows about the touch screen. I think so highly of this laptop that Ive actually decided to get rid of my hand built desktop (i7 7700, 1070ti) when I move across country because i think the lenovo is enough machine to get done what I need to get done, and the bulky desktop+monitor+peripherals just wont be worth the space they take up on a move. As someone who builds computers, I highly recommend this laptop as a robust option for someone who needs both a powerful machine for gaming in a small enough form factor for travel. I would plan to add a 16GB stick of ram though.

Rapidísima, no tiene tanta memoria de disco duro pero no hay problema si utilizas algún servicio de almacenamiento en la nube. El RAM es suficiente pero no puedes tener tantas ventanillas abiertas a la vez, pues la pantalla se congela un segundo y se "reinicia" lo que explorabas, como un video, por ejemplo. Mi calificación es 5/5 porque realmente es una excelente computadora de trabajo y/o para estudiantes. Sí corre un par de videojuegos, pero no esperen mucho en cuanto a gráficas.

Awesome vfm!

TLDR: I don't think you're going to find a better bang for your buck on a laptop right now. Performance: The 3500u offers pretty good performance without too much thermal throttling: the cpu trades blows with my desktop computer (FX-8320) at less than a tenth the power draw. Graphics is useable - the vega 8 gets the job done in graphic design tasks just fine and holds up for light gaming. Comes with a 256gb *NVME* ssd, the oem version of the 960 evo if I'm not mistaken. It's not too of the line anymore, but it's still fast. Not big enough for what I need, but it's a decent size, and it's upgradeable. The ram is probably the biggest drawback for this machine. It comes with 8gb, two of which is dedicated for the gpu, leaving only 6gb for system. The other drawback is that it's arranged as 4gb soldered, and a 4gb sodimm. You can upgrade the one stick, but once you go over that 6gb of ram, you're going to drop down to single channel (though that's still a fair bit faster than dropping to a swap file, even on an nvme ssd). It's also 2400 cl17, which isn't as fast as it could be, but not the absolute worst. I'll update in the future with how it works when I add a 16gb stick of 2666 cl15. User experience: Display is very good. Good brightness, good colour accuracy, good backlight consistency, good dynamic range, good viewing angles. It has an accurate touch sensor and a Wacom digitizer and comes with the Wacom pen (a nice value add on a budget machine like this). The pen holder sticks in a USB port and is next to worthless, but it fit just fine in a pen slot in my laptop holder. My only complaint is that the liquid crystal distorts when you press on it with even moderate pressure - fine for the touch screen, but you'll have to adjust your pen curves if you're used to doing art with a bit of a heavy hand. The digitizer is also accurate, but not the best I've ever used. Trackpad is pretty good, though it occasionally mistakes my two- or three-finger taps for a regular click, and the right area is very small. The keyboard is excellent, and has a white backlight that you can toggle through off, low, and high with a hotkey. Nice shape, good feel, decent travel, sensible layout. The fingerpint scanner for windows hello is snappy and pretty accurate. I go from cold boot to desktop in under ten seconds. It was under 7 when I got it, but the ssd is almost full now. Not a lot of bloatware, just macafee (which I immediately uninstalled and replaced with Kaspersky) and Lenovo Vantage (an app with recommendations for bloatware that you can download on your own) and Lenovo Utility (for driver updates, bios updates and the like). The 360 hinge feels solid, but I do find myself often hitting something on the touch screen or keyboard when I'm flipping it over. The keys get deactivated once it's flipped, but it takes half a second or so. When in tablet mode it can be a little weird thermally, as the intakes are blocked by the LCD and the exhaust is at the back (underneath the hinges). You'll want to flip it around so that the hinges are up in the air, but that leaves the slim edge pointed towards you making it a little awkward trying to rest your wrist at the bottom. However, even when thermally constrained like that it doesn't get outrageously hot, and the fans don't get unreasonably loud. They'll often stay off under light workloads, and are quiet for most of their operation. It has decent i/o (especially for a slim device): 2 USB type A, 1 type C, headphone/microphone jack (❤️), full-size HDMI out, and an SD card reader. My only complaint is that the card reader doesn't let the cards go fully in, so you can't safely leave a card in there while you lug it around. Build quality is excellent - it's a clean, modern look with the durable, soft touch plastic Lenovo is known for. As I said up top, this is a fantastic laptop for the price. You'd be lucky to get this level of performance and quality for 1000 dollars, and it has a lot of nice-to-haves on top of it.

Gran laptop! Bien construida, el lector de huellas funciona bastante rápido, la pantalla full HD se ve súper bien. Inicia muy rápido, corre juegos recientes de manera decente.

This is my first Lenovo laptop. Slick design and best performance. One of the highlight is the display (almost like dell xps 13). Love it so far😊✌️
