Detailed product description

The IdeaPad Flex 5 is engineered to be both a workhorse and a creative tool. The Intel Core i5-1235U gives you Turbo Boost up to 4.4 GHz for bursts of speed when you need it, while integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics deliver smooth visuals for streaming, light photo work and casual gaming. The 8GB DDR4 memory at 3200MHz is tuned for daily multi-tab browsing, standard office apps and video calls; it’s also upgradeable up to 16GB if you want more headroom later. Storage comes as a roomy 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD that significantly reduces load and boot times compared with older SATA drives.

The 14" Full HD IPS touchscreen (300 nits) supports 10-point multi-touch and works with the included Lenovo Digital Pen — ideal for handwritten notes, sketching or annotating documents during meetings or lectures. The 360° hinge turns the Flex 5 into a tablet for casual reading or a tent for watching tutorials. Port selection is practical: USB-C (Power Delivery + DisplayPort), two USB-A 3.2 Gen1 ports, HDMI 1.4b and an SD card reader — everything a modern student or remote worker needs.
