![]() ![]() The clamshell 5i uses a 14-inch display with 300 nits of brightness while the Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook reduces the screen size to 13.3-inches and brightness of 250 nits. Those are the most substantial differences, save for the displays. You’re paying more for the better processor in the Flex model, double the RAM, and the ability to rotate the display up to 360-degrees. My take: If you want the newest 5i model from Lenovo, make sure it has an 11th-generation processor inside, regardless of whether the model is a 5 or a 5i.įor comparison shoppers, the clamshell 5i Chromebook I tested has a retail price of $439.99, although I’ve already seen some sale pricing. And yet the Lenovo part number on both is 82M70010UX. Costo shows this as the Flex 5 Chromebook. Also of interest: Direct sales of the Flex 5i from Lenovo are the same $549.99 price but with half the RAM and storage as the Costco configuration. This model is sold through Costco and I just noticed there’s a $100 discount until October 17th. This Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook review unit as configured is priced at $549.99. Just keep in mind that there is a price difference between the two models. But that’s a good thing as I note in my Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook review. Aside from the chipset upgrade and the ability to fold the display for tablet-mode usage, there’s little else different. While the clamshell 5i has a new Pentium Gold processor, the convertible Flex 5i is bumped up to the recent Intel Core i3. After being thoroughly impressed by the Lenovo IdeaPad 5i Chromebook, I had high hopes for the similar convertible model, the Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook. ![]()
