Color accuracy of Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 is very low. Also the peak brightness should be atleast 300 nits. It's Display isn't good for well lit room or outdoors. Otherwise, it's a brilliant Laptop, it offers great performance, Stylus works fine but causes minor scratches on the screen while Sketching, Touch Screen + Stylus Enabled Laptops should come with Gorilla Glass protection as in the case of Acer Spin 3, Lenovo Yoga Series and HP Envy x360 Laptop. Battery life is brilliant, it's better than any other Laptop in this range, even comparable to the Laptops in premium segment as well. Built quality is average Polycarbonate built and as said screen catches easy scratches while writing or sketching eith stylus. Keyboard and Trackpad is again comparable to the premium Laptops or you can say 'Best In Class'. All the important ports are there.. So, overall a brilliant 2-in-1 Laptop in for Budget users.
One thing i recommend, is that turning the computer on battery saver mode. I recommend it because if the fans are loud, it makes them almost silent. I also use if for light gaming and turning the battery saving mode really helps the fan noise aswell.
Yeah you must be doing extremely light gaming like playing solitaire bcuz all power saver does is throttle the CPU so it can't possible draw enough power to produce more CPU cycles
You don't have to turn on battery saver mode to get this effect, you just need to go to your battery settings and turn it down to best power efficiently.
As another commenter said, the fan is loud. You can put it on battery saver mode as he said, or you can use Throttlestop and disable turbo. Everything works fine like this including playing 4k 60fps video on external monitor--but if you are going to render something then temporarily allow turbo while you do that. (If you want to game--well, get a gaming laptop.) The fan is much quieter on the Thinkpad Yoga X1 and that is an all-around nicer laptop, but you will pay much more for it.
which stylus would you recommend? i wanted to buy a budged friendly one but have no idea which ones are compatible. the internet hasn't really helped me yet

Does anyone know how it will perform on the long run? I used to have a wacom mobile studio pro that I had spent so much money on thinking it was a good investment on a good device. It worked great and all but after a year it suddenly crashed and no matter where I took it they couldn't fix it. Now I'm really worried about that happening again and I really can't afford that.
I just bought the IdeaPad Flex 5 14ITL05 a week ago. When you have it a full 360°, or have it set up like a triangle, the keyboard turns off. If I fully open it up 360° and hold it with my left hand on the bottom and my right hand touching the screen, my left hand inadvertently presses keyboard buttons but they're ignored. Also, palm rejection is very good while using the stylus. Hope this helps.

Hey I received a Yoga 6 yesterday, which should have comparable display specs to this one, except maybe better colors. I'm really happy with the laptop, except for the display - the response time is pretty bad and i'm noticing quite a bit of ghosting/motion blur, which is especially noticeable when moving the mouse cursor around dark images = long trail behind the cursor. Have you noticed this too in the Flex 5 or a Yoga 6 you've reviewed?
I've got the IdeaPad Flex 5 14ITL05. I can't stand Windows 10. If I install Windows 7 on this, will it work? I don't need any of the bells and whistles drivers. Just keyboard, mouse, touch, wifi, and Ethernet dongle. I use this laptop installing security cameras and alarm systems, very basic stuff. 7 was nice you work with in the field on my X240.
I have a choice in display when ordering this laptop(AMD Ryzen 7, 16GB, 1TB). The display options are 1920× 1080 or 2240 × 1400. Would the higher resolution option be worth it???
