Lenovo IdeaPad Flex five with Ryzen 5 in review: A lot of performance for a modest upkeep
Powerful lifestyle laptop. The new Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 with the Ryzen five 5500U processor, NVMe SSD storage, a backlit keyboard, and optional stylus input could be the ideal everyday companion. The convertible presents itself in the examination as a compact, lightweight, and nevertheless powerful device.
Lenovo's IdeaPad Flex serial offers affordable convertible laptops. Our review shows that Lenovo offers devices with more than satisfactory performance in the lower cost segments besides. The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 14ALC05 that we are reviewing is equipped with the latest Ryzen 5 5500U hexa-core processor as the central processing unit of measurement. It surprised us in the exam with its very good multi-core performance. The balance of the hardware with its 512 GB NVMe SSD, 8 GB of DDR4 RAM, and a Full HD touchscreen is about the standard. Our exam model is currently available starting at 679 Euros (~$830).
The potential competition for convertibles under 1,000 Euros (~$1,222) is express. Apart from theHP Pavilion x360 or the Acer Spin iii with Intel processors, competitor models with comparable operation are usually much more expensive.

Note: The manufacturer may use components from different suppliers including brandish panels, drives or memory sticks with similar specifications.
The IdeaPad Flex 5 has a well-built instance that is about exclusively made of plastic. The convertible's design looks good from all sides. The 360° rotatable display also allows the laptop to be used as a tablet. It tin also be used in tent or stand way. The broad safe anxiety on the underside provide a firm grip. The display can be opened with ane hand upwards to an angle of slightly over 100°. The speaker openings are located on both sides of the keyboard. Therefore, when the device isn't used equally a laptop, the speakers don't bespeak in the user'south direction. Furthermore, both the example's rigidity and the surface hardness of the lid's pigment aren't as high as would be desirable for a mobile device. The screen in particular can exist twisted quite a bit, and the paint collects scratches despite being handled with great intendance.
The IdeaPad Flex 5 doesn't differentiate itself much in laptop mode.
Stand mode is particularly suitable for presentations.
Tent fashion is practical and saves space.
The convertible is quite thick in tablet mode.
The stable hinges e'er maintain their position.
The fan usually manages to keep the convertible at working temperatures, but it gets bothersomely loud at times.
Unfortunately, the paint on the display lid is very susceptible to scratches.
The Lenovo logo is engraved on an aluminum plate.
The IdeaPad Flex five 14ALC05 is slightly larger and heavier than most fourteen-inch convertibles. The more expensive rivals from LG and Dell are considerably lighter.
❌
The big 14-inch brandish is covered by a sleeky screen, which is unfortunately just a little fleck anti-cogitating. The webcam's lens is located above the display, and it can be covered using a congenital-in mechanism. The laptop features two USB-A 3.1 ports, a USB Type-C port, an HDMI output, a iii.5 mm headset jack, a fingerprint reader, and an SD card reader. USB Type-C power adapters (at least 60 watts) too as power adapters with a corresponding butt plug tin be used for power supply.
The preinstalled operating system is Windows 10 Home Edition. Due to the built-in fingerprint sensor and the TPM 2.0 module, the security features of Windows x Professional person Edition would definitely be appreciated.
The IdeaPad Flex v has ii USB three.1 ports on the correct side. Next to them is an SD card reader. the left side contains a barrel connector for corresponding power adapters, the HDMI 1.4 port, a USB-C 3.ane port with Power Commitment but, unfortunately, without the option to connect a brandish, the 3.v mm headset port, and the opening for the Novo push. Pressing the Novo button when the laptop is turned off brings upward a menu that can be used to access the BIOS/UEFI and modify here the boot guild or restore the system.
During the examination with a 64 GB Toshiba Exceria Pro SDXC UHS-Two memory bill of fare, the SD bill of fare reader offers a good speed of up to 87.2 MB/s. SD cards tin only be inserted halfway into the IdeaPad Flex 5.
An Intel AX200NGW module is used for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Information technology supports all the latest Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/thousand/n/ac/ax standards and Bluetooth 5.0. In the test under optimal weather, the chip achieves information transfer speeds of upwardly to one,146 Mb/southward.

The convertible's webcam can exist protected against unauthorized admission with the help of the mechanical PrivacyShutter camera cover. The cover's position is like shooting fish in a barrel to recognize cheers to Lenovo's characteristic red dot on the shutter. Moreover, the camera epitome is sufficiently precipitous and rich in contrast in the center of the moving picture, but the image becomes increasingly blurry and slightly distorted towards the edges. The camera's color reproduction is also weak. Overall, the picture show quality is rather poor.

The IdeaPad Flex 5 under review has both a TPM module and a fingerprint reader. Unfortunately, Lenovo didn't integrate a Kensington lock into the case.
The fingerprint reader worked quickly and reliably throughout the exam. Even with clammy, softened fingertips, the sensor usually recognized the fingerprints. Equally is typical for Lenovo laptops, the area with the sensor is located to the right underneath the keyboard.
Besides the laptop and the documentation, only a compatible ability adapter is included in the box. The review sample came with a USB Type-C power adapter. Information technology can besides exist used to charge other devices with USB Blazon-C ports if required. Fast charging also works for devices that support the USB PD standard.
Lenovo also offers a stylus with 4,096 pressure levels for the IdeaPad Flex five. The corresponding Lenovo Digital Pen with the model number GX80U45010 costs $34.99 in Lenovo's online shop.
Only a Torx 5 screwdriver and a plastic prying tool are needed to open the case. After removing the ix example screws, yous but have to apply slight force per unit area forth the gap at the edge betwixt the hinges with the opening tool to remove the bottom cover. Afterwards, the fan can be cleaned. Lenovo states that the battery, fan, speakers, WLAN module, and M.two SSD tin can be replaced by the user. These parts are besides available in Lenovo'south store.
The processor and RAM are soldered to the motherboard. As a result, you tin can't upgrade the hardware.
The IdeaPad Flex 5 comes with a two-yr warranty by default. This covers repairs at a service location and telephone support in case of hardware bug. This warranty can be extended by one or ii years in Lenovo'due south Vantage application. For this, Lenovo charges 17.26 Euros (~$21) and 43.xiv Euros (~$53), respectively. Lenovo also offers several additional service options. For example, on-site support or extended support for two to four years tin be purchased. The costs for this range between 52.46 Euros (~$64) and 136.65 Euros (~$167) depending on the duration and scope of the selected bundle.
Additional protection packages can as well be purchased in the Lenovo Vantage app. For example, a two-yr blow protection plan can be purchased for 63.87 Euros (~$78), battery insurance for 27.37 Euros (~$33), and a software maintenance plan with a term of upwardly to iv years can exist purchased too.
Keyboard
Lenovo equips the IdeaPad Flex 5 with a backlit island-manner keyboard. The key travel of less than a millimeter is extremely brusk. Nevertheless, the keyboard has clearly defined pressure level points, and the keyboard but yields minimally fifty-fifty under strong pressure. With a key size of about 15 x 15 mm and a keyboard width of about 28 cm, the proportions roughly correspond to an IBM standard keyboard. After a short familiarization menstruation, the keyboard proves to be quite suitable for everyday use. In addition, the keyboard's backlight has ii different brightness levels. The depression setting is easy on the eyes even in very dark environments.
The multitouch-capable ClickPad is pleasantly big at vii.5 x ten.5 cm, and the surface has good gliding properties. The pressure indicate can also be felt clearly here despite the brusque button travel. The ClickPad responds precisely to inputs beyond the unabridged surface. A diverseness of functions can be triggered using different finger gestures. These tin be viewed and changed in the Windows settings.
The touchscreen of the IdeaPad Flex 5 responds to up to ten fingers simultaneously. Inputs are processed quickly and precisely. Nevertheless, finger gestures chop-chop smear the screen with fingerprints. An oleophobic coating would exist desirable hither.
The IdeaPad Flex five that we are testing has a Full HD display resolution. This results in a pixel density of 157 ppi for the 14-inch display. Consequently, the resolution is perfectly sufficient to not notice whatsoever pixels at a distance of over 50 cm.
The average brightness of 221.2 cd/g² is non specially good. In addition, brightness drops significantly in the lower corners of the display. On the other manus, the contrast ratio of 1,519:1 is very good. The display's rich blackness has a very positive consequence when watching nighttime motion-picture show sequences and photos.
Screen bleeding isn't noticeable in laptop mode when the device is placed on a solid surface. However, every bit before long as the laptop is moved away from a flat surface or too much pressure is applied to the instance, noticeable bright spots become visible on the display. In tablet mode and in stand mode, in that location are very noticeable bright spots around the edges at times when light pressure is practical to the brandish. The low rigidity of the example has a negative impact on the screen here.

The brandish'southward image reproduction is satisfactory. Due to the high dissimilarity value, dark image areas in particular clearly stand out. Although the sRGB color-space coverage of 61% is not particularly high, it'southward more than sufficient for most users. In full general, the display'due south color reproduction looks expert. Notwithstanding, the examination with the CalMAN software and the X-Rite i1 Pro 2 spectrophotometer shows meaning colour deviations with a slight yellowish tint.
The lightweight, like shooting fish in a barrel-to-carry device would be ideal for outdoor use if it weren't for the poor display readability in sunlight. Unfortunately, the brandish brightness is too low in combination with the highly reflective display surface. The display is barely legible in potent sunlight.
Display Response Times
ℹ
Display response times show how fast the screen is able to modify from one color to the side by side. Irksome response times tin pb to afterimages and tin crusade moving objects to announced blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attending to fast response times.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
ℹ
To dim the screen, some notebooks will merely bike the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method chosen Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human center. If said frequency is besides low, users with sensitive optics may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering birthday.

| In comparison: 52 % of all tested devices exercise not utilise PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 22039 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. | |||
The brandish is extremely viewing-bending stable, and information technology tin exist read well from any position in suitably low ambient light. This is where the brandish shows its greatest strength. From thirty° viewing bending, no color shifts are visible from any direction. Viewing bending stability is especially important for a versatile convertible. Note: In the montage of the viewing angles, the polarization on the camera's image sensor highlights the differences in a significant way. However, hardly any differences can exist detected with the naked eye from the private viewing angles.
The IdeaPad Flex 5 14ALC05 in review features an AMD Ryzen 5 5500U with an integrated RX Vega 7 GPU, viii GB of RAM, and a 512 GB NVMe SSD. Thanks to the fast processor with six cores and 12 threads also as the good graphics operation of the iGPU, the device is suitable for more than than just everyday browsing and function applications. Even demanding applications for image editing, CAD design, and database management run smoothly on the device. The Lenovo Vantage programme can be used to adjust performance and battery consumption according to various application scenarios.
Likewise the version with the AMD Ryzen v CPU, there are also configurations with the AMD Ryzen 7 CPU or an Intel i5 processor and up to 16 GB of RAM.
The AMD Ryzen v 5500U, which was introduced in Jan 2021, is a processor that was particularly designed for lite and slim laptops. The CPU can unleash its full power in the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 and accomplish clock speeds of up to 4.0 GHz. The integrated Radeon RX Vega 7 GPU has seven CUs and clocks at upward to one,800 MHz.
Lenovo's cooling system has sufficient chapters, and under the correct weather condition, information technology tin can consistently proceed the processor at a working temperature of beneath eighty °C (~176 °F) even in maximum operation mode. Therefore, performance remained well-nigh constant during the one-half-hour Cinebench R15 test run. The full processor performance can also be accessed on battery ability, provided that the correct settings take been chosen in the Lenovo Vantage program. However, the battery capacity is just sufficient for a bit over an hour at maximum functioning.
The performance of the Ryzen five CPU in the multi-core benchmarks is remarkable. The latest Intel Core i7-1165G7 processors similar in the considerably more expensive Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen nine are easily outperformed. The IdeaPad merely has to admit defeat to the superior Ryzen 7 5700U processors.

In the tests with PCMark, the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex v 14ALC05 scores very well and is in the upper segment of the comparing field. There's no criticism regarding the device'southward performance in daily employ: Applications launch apace, and all inputs are processed without delays. The somewhat limited RAM of 8 gigabytes only becomes noticeable when many programs are executed in parallel or when editing videos.

The frame rates in The Witcher 3 - The Wild Hunt are anything but skillful, just they are in line with the expectations for an iGPU and don't deviate much from the convertible class boilerplate. At depression graphics settings, the game runs quite smoothly on the IdeaPad Flex 5 at 30 fps.
You can cull betwixt 3 different fan modes in the Lenovo Vantage plan. The noise emissions of the laptop are barely audible in both the "intelligent cooling" and "battery-saving" modes. However, the APU'due south total functioning can't be unlocked with either of these settings, since they both lead to thermal throttling. If the cooling runs in "loftier functioning mode", the fan gets uncomfortably loud at times. Moreover, depending on the position of the device, a slight whistling noise can exist heard also.

The convertible doesn't really get warm in everyday use, and the device can exist used on the lap without problems as long every bit you don't need it to reach maximum performance. Fifty-fifty under prolonged load, neither the top nor the bottom of the device reached an uncomfortably high temperature.
The cooling of the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex five is strongly dependent on the selected cooling mode and on the type of usage given to the device. While no thermal throttling occurs in stand fashion and tent mode in our stress test, the device already overheats in some circumstances after x to 15 minutes under total load in laptop mode and tablet mode. In this case, the clock speeds of the processor and GPU drop to around 0.4 GHz and 7 MHz, respectively, for a short time. The fan tin't push enough air through the heat sink in either mode. In laptop mode, it'south sufficient to lift the laptop slightly at the back to permit plenty air flow. A 1-Euro coin will already practice the trick.
However, in that location shouldn't be whatever noticeable performance losses in everyday use. The processor's thermal throttling takes place in very curt spurts, so that the average clock rate of iii.one GHz is nevertheless far above the processor'due south base speed.

The sound quality of the speakers is skilful compared to the book of the IdeaPad Flex 5. When it comes to basses, there is clearly a lack of resonance space to truly be able to reproduce them. On the other hand, mids and trebles are reproduced conspicuously. Still, the speakers are not suitable for playing music and movies that have a large dynamic range, but they're more than adequate for the device's form. Furthermore, the maximum book is sufficient to watch movies and series even in louder environments.
If you lot're not satisfied with the sound quality of the speakers, you can connect your own devices using the 3.v mm sound jack or Bluetooth 5.0. Music output via the jack is very proficient; audio and music are reproduced loudly and clearly.
Lenovo has also provided the convertible with the ability to optimize sound for various employ cases through Dolby Access. The Dolby Access awarding has to exist downloaded from the Microsoft Shop for this, and information technology will already exist activated. The application doesn't effect in any costs.

The test device'south ability consumption of half-dozen.v watts in idle usage is average and relatively low at a maximum of l watts under full load. The resulting functioning per watt is excellent. The included 65-watt ability adapter supplies the convertible with more than enough power, and the 52 Wh 3-prison cell Li-polymer battery supplies sufficient free energy even at maximum performance. The Lenovo Vantage program can also exist used to conform some settings regarding free energy consumption and battery use. For instance, an express charging manner is available, which charges the battery speedily when needed but as well allows it to get significantly warm; there'south also a battery preservation way that is designed to protect the battery and keep information technology in good status for a long fourth dimension.
