Excellent

PM05 . 10 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I have had this laptop for about 5 or 6 years by now. I have no complaints. It is still going strong and has not let me down. I have used this device for school and work through out the time I have had it, so it has experienced daily heavy usage. And it has been able to keep up, giving me a hundred and ten percent. As long as you take proper care of your things, you won’t have a problem.

Worst computer I've ever had

Disgruntled customer . 2 years ago

I've only had one other laptop, but I've had several desktops. This is the first time I've had a Lenovo, and I got this one because I didn't want a chromebook, and this was the only option through Verizon at the time. The keys are huge, like made for a big man, and I'm a small woman. I type fast but these keys are sticky, even though it should be a clean keyboard, so my typing speed sucks. It loses it's charge fast, even when in sleep mode. I can't believe I agreed to pay so much for something I dislike so much. Making payments on it means I have to pay for a line, and I can't even get 5G where I am, in the middle of DFW! What a waste.

Hello, we are sorry to hear that your Flex 5G has not met your expectations. In advance, this is a lengthy response, as we want to completely address your pronouncement. The keyboards for Lenovo devices are design for convenient and productive typing with the key placement being thoughtfully designed. Regarding your battery life issues, to extend your batter life, first, set your screen brightness at less than 100-percent - try 80-percent to start with. Then, be sure Battery Charge Threshold is turned off. This power management setting should only be used when the laptop is plugged in all the time. It will prolong overall battery life by only charging the battery to 60-percent of capacity. You can turn off Battery Charge Threshold within the Lenovo Vantage APP installed on this computer. In Vantage select Battery Settings and turn off Battery Charge Threshold, if turned on. Also, here is a link to a webpage that details various options for disabling background applications and processes that may be using battery: https://allthings.how/how-to-turn-off-background-apps-in-windows-11/ Upon making these changes, if the issue persists, we recommend reaching out to Lenovo Tech Support at this phone number for continued assistance: 877-453-6686. Last, if you are not getting the cellular performance you desire, we recommend reaching out to your carrier to discover a solution. Lenovo

Worst computer I've ever had

Disgruntled customer . 2 years ago

LenovoProductExpert - 2 years ago

Excellent mobile option

MillerS . 2 years ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I've had a Flex 5G for almost 2 years. Initially I was a bit let down with some of the application compatibility that others have mentioned. But it was a great choice for always connected access (as long as there is cellular). I purchased it because I started an online graduate program and would need access while camping, at the baseball field, or wherever I happened to be. It's not a high-performance computer, but it will meet 80%(+) of most requirements outside of gaming and high-end graphics design work. If you have one of these, upgrade to Windows 11!! Almost all of the compatibility issues go away under Windows 11. The factory installed Windows 10 runs "emulated" and there are some compatibility issues. The Windows 11 upgrade will install a native ARM64 OS (the same version that Surface Pro's run) that works so much better. You won't be disappointed.

Travel friendly 80% Windiws system

Mike N . 2 years ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

This is my second Verizon Lenovo Laptop, and as with the other one, there is some curves about the Snapdragon Windows system. Overall, I still love them and they work great for my purposes. Positives, ultra light weight, thin, and no heat generation; 19 hr battery life (realistically 14 or so depending on what you are doing), full version of Windows, so can do alot of what you would be doing on your desktop. Negatives, there are a goid handfull of apps that are incompatible with Windows on Snap, so check to see if you can use the app you desire, or if there is an alternative app. I am rarely home, so size, weight, battery life, and connectivity were most important to me, which is why I still love these.

LenovoProductExpert - 2 years ago

Thank you for choosing the Lenovo Flex 5G!

Pretty, but soon to be obsolete.

Chromebooks are being phased out and will only be serviced for a few more years. Would've been nice to know.

Good for on the go ONLY!

MissNaser . 2 years ago

I purchased this computer thinking it could handle a little bit more for every day use. Turns out it’s best use is for airports or when not working in office. Isn’t really the type of computer to use if you require to use multiple applications at the same time. It can handle the basics, if not it will freeze up on you. Example - if you have slack, Gmail and Jira in a chrome browser open.. might as well shut it down before the processor stops working.

Incredible Device!

Jess . 2 years ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I have the laptop its worth the expence. I am a school teacher and a university student. It keeps up with my busy llife style. I am able to help my students on their chromebook from my Lenovo fix their problem or help them out and switch back and forth with no issues more than I can say for the Dell laptops we have at the school. Also its comes with its own service and able to connect via cell service data only. I love it.The only issue I have is the screen tends to break way to easy someone needs to come up with a screen saver and case for it. but I love it.

This lil beast gets the job done having the ability to use the tablet on the job site. Zoom in and out on plans and search for information, complete emails plus battery life depending on use it charge it once a week to 3 times a week. Only draw back os finding a case to protect this valuable tool. If anyone know where I can find one comment below.

Cell 5G and regular wifi

timothylittlefield . 2 years ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I am a college student and anywhere I have a smartphone service I can be online. No more trying to find WiFi service I have cellular service. While riding in the car I can work and study. I will never buy a laptop with only Wi-Fi. Cellular service for my laptop means I can operate my laptop up to 5G anywhere I have phone service. Thank you,

Is this compatible with zoom?

That will depend on the requirements and compatibility of that specific version software. This Lenovo Flex 5G ships with Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit Operating System installed. We recommend you check with the specific version software publisher's web sites, of the specific version of the software you want to run, for their compatibility with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit operating system and the minimum/recommended hardware requirements (Is a Graphics card required, the processor speed and the minimum required system RAM and the minimum available hard drive space) to run their program, then compare those requirements to this system's configuration.
