Expert reviews and ratings

The IdeaPad Flex 15 is an affordable touchscreen convertible laptop that switches into Stand Mode to become part-tablet, part-laptop. It's a great concept that Lenovo has already used on the Yogas and Yoga Pros, but here it's gone to waste due to an...

One thing I've learned from testing laptops is that consumers pay a premium for portability. You'll pay more for an ultra-slim laptop with low-end specs than you would for a larger laptop that has better internals. Case in point: Lenovo's Flex 15, which...

Lenovo loves a hinge. It's almost as if its latest line-up hinges on how many hinges it can put on a laptop - a case in point is the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 2 Pro. But the Yoga is only for those with access to a whole heap of money. For the rest of us there...

Le Flex 15 est un portable tactile abordable qui se distingue grâce à sa position chevalet, à mi-chemin entre la tablette et le portable classique. Ce concept intéressant, que l'on retrouve sur les Yoga et Yoga Pro, souffre hélas ici d'un écran...

El precio depende bastante del distribuidor así como de la oferta que encontremos, y la verdad es que se mueve en amplios márgenes. Haciendo un repaso rápido en eBay la unidad más barata la hemos visto por unos 580 euros el modelo con 500 GB, y por...
