About this deal

It fell short of the Envy x360 13 (4,548, AMD Ryzen 5 4500U CPU) and Yoga C740 (3,915, Core i5-10210U CPU) but handily topped the Spin 3 (3,600, Core i3-8130U CPU). It would benefit from a USB-C charging point so you could at least have one charging cable for all your devices when you’re on the move.

It's only available with low-power CPUs and GPUs that aren't powerful enough to handle demanding tasks like video editing or 3D graphics.On the other hand, the Acer has a larger screen, its battery lasts longer overall, and it stays completely silent and doesn't get too warm. The IdeaPad Flex 5 comes in two colour versions: fancy teal and business-like light grey – our review model came in the latter. Users with larger hands might struggle with the layout here, but it’s likely that in time you’d get used to the arrangement. That’s more than five hours more than the mainstream laptop average of 9:16 and hours better than the 7:56 of the Acer Spin 3.

The Yoga 7i is a more premium device with a sturdier aluminum chassis, and it provides a better user experience, like a more colorful display, better-sounding speakers, and a more responsive touchpad. While we do agree that as a laptop, this is definitely light but as a tablet, this feels quite heavy. The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 combines touchscreen and 2-in-1 tablet convertible functionality with a large 15.Apart from these, the Lenovo Flex 5 offers excellent audio, privacy shutter for camera, fingerprint scanner which is reliable, and excellent keyboard and trackpad. While the camera lacks IR sensors for face recognition, it does come with a built-in physical privacy shutter for additional peace of mind when you’re not using it. The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5’s keyboard follows the layout of many Lenovo laptops, coming with curved keycaps, and features a numeric keypad on the right. Also contributing are the laptop's capacious 52WHr battery and improvements unique to Renoir chips, like a redesigned power interface with three distinct states.

Aimed at both mobile workers and students, the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 is lightweight and supports the latest WiFi 6 standard, so wherever you’re working, you’ll be able to connect to some of the fastest wireless speeds currently possible. Looping a 720p film with the brightness set to 120 nits saw the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 last an impressive 11 hours and 40 minutes. Established in 2010, Laptop Outlet is one of the UK’s leading tech retailers, offering new and refurbished tech devices, including laptops, smartphones, PCs, tablets, accessories, and much more. It is a shame that the keyboard isn’t backlit, as it does make a big difference when working in poorly lit areas. I’ve also covered the launches of dozens of groundbreaking technologies, from hyperloop test tracks in the desert to the latest silicon from Apple and Intel.The Inspiron 15 is only available with Intel processors, but you can get the IdeaPad Flex with an Intel or AMD CPU. Long story short, S Mode can make a lot of sense for schools and businesses, but is probably too restrictive for more general home and business users.
