Perfect, powerful and high quality machine

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2018

I absolutely love this laptop. This replaced a 4 year old Asus Vivobook and I could not be happier.

Pros:
- Sleek, well designed and good build quality
- Love the keyboard, keys have just the right amount of click
- FAST
- Very portable while still being very powerful
- Long battery life, consistently get around 8 hours and it fully charges in about 1.5 hours
- Full array of ports
- Just enough weight to feel substantial but not too heavy
- One of the best touchpads I have ever used
- Fingerprint sensor is convenient, fast and awesome
- Speakers are great and very loud

Cons:
- I wish the screen got a bit brighter, it's also a bit reflective
- While the aluminum interior and the matte lid are nice and high quality, the plastic on the bottom of the laptop leaves a bit to be desired
- The laptop sometimes takes a few seconds to reconnect to wifi after being in sleep mode, but it's not really a huge deal

Overall I am completely satisfied with this laptop. I have a couple small issues that I listed above, but no machine is perfect. And for the price and the high quality, high-spec'd machine that you get for that price - you can't beat it.

Wifi connectivity sucks!

Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2020

Without Wifi connectivity it's not worth it. The Wifi keeps on disconnecting, and it's super frustrating. I don't even use it so heavily. I have it for a little over a year. It's not worth the money for such a short time plus it wasn't working properly after a few months!

Great laptop: Fast, great screen, back-lit keyboard, finger print

This is a great laptop at a really good price. The hardware spec in this laptop is everything you would want in a home or office laptop that will get a lot of use.
Boot time from Power on until Windows is logged in is only about 10 seconds. Really nice screen,dedicated video RAM & very smooth & fast when running multiple programs & sturdy 360 degree hinge.

Great product, small issues

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2018

Capacity: i7-8550U 1.8GHz | 16GB DDR4 | 256GB SSDStyle: PC onlyVerified Purchase

This was my first laptop buy so my opinion may be a little biased. Good size but weight is a little more than expected. Finger print scanner is super useful. Key board feels nice, similar to an apple external keyboard. The arrow keys are also funky, first time seeing two buttons crammed into one space. Power button on the side takes a little to get used to, I would accidentally push it when using things on the side. I wish there were music control function buttons. Performance is great, freezes up occasionally for about 2 seconds.

Excelente notebook, tiene un sonido de otro mundo, material que al tacto parece aluminio, la batería dura muchísimo, veloz, la definición de pantalla es muy buena. No tengo nada malo para decir. El flex funciona perfecto. 100% recomendable

Horrible battery life.

Capacity: i7-8550U 1.8GHz | 16GB DDR4 | 256GB SSDStyle: PC onlyVerified Purchase

Right out of the box this laptop feels heavier than expected. Aesthetically this laptop looks great but even with battery saver on, the battery can't even last 2 hours. This is worse than my Lenovo yoga that I purchased more than 4 years ago. All I've done is turn on the laptop and started browsing the web to write this review on Amazon and it's dropped 15% in less than 15 minutes. For this price I really don't think it's worth it. I'm pretty sure I'm going to return this product.

Good laptop, a little heavy, some glitches

This review is for the former Yoga owner considering a Flex.

I've had 2 Lenovo Yoga laptops before this Flex. I thought that this was pretty much a less expensive version of the Yoga, which I'd come to love during time.

No, this is a much heavier, bigger, laptop. It has the same great keyboard, but is not on par with the higher end model.

Why I bought this instead of the Yoga's newer version?
Well, I paid around $1,100 for my last Yoga, which is almost what I paid for this, so I figured that after 2 years, prices would have come down, and the new Yoga ($1,600) was just an overpriced Flex, with some fancy things that I didn't care for... but no, there are substantial differences.

The weight difference is very relevant of you travel with your laptop (which in my case, is the reason to have a laptop instead of a desktop, and an ultrabook for that matter...).

The screen is much dimmer.

The battery life is on par with the Yoga (but only when the included bloatwere has been removed... if you keep the autoupdate on, you will drain the battery in a couple of hours).

The audio is pretty crappy, as it was in both Yogas (that's what headphones are for).

Aside from those complaints, this is a good work horse, that will do everything that the Yoga can do, at a substantial discount.

If I had to choose again, I will but the extra money for the Yoga.

Great portable laptop but AWFUL BATTERY

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2019

Capacity: i5-8250U 1.6GHz | 8GB DDR4 | 256GB SSDStyle: PC onlyVerified Purchase

I've only had this laptop for two days and I am already in love. It's small but durable and the battery life is better than my 4 year old HP Notebook. I'm excited to bring this little guy with me on future road trips and also see how well it does during my last semester of college

Edit: 3/12/20 Battery is awful. Need to keep it charged all the time or else it dies within two hours. Disappointed.

Can't really use the HDMI for second screen feature. Pretty reliable computer. Battery life is pretty decent. Screen is small so it is idea for portable situations. Not a big fan of the Lenovo pen (purchased separately). Overall it is a pretty nice device. I would recommend this to college students or home business folks that need easy, get up and go kind of handling.
