[Amazon.ca] Lenovo Flex 5 14" 2-in-1, AMD Ryzen 5 4500U, 16GB DDR4, 256GB SSD - $717.57 - All time low

  • AMD Ryzen 5 4500U Processor
  • 16 GB DDR4 Memory
  • 256 GB SSD Storage
  • Integrated AMD Radeon Graphics
  • Lenovo Active Pen included
This laptop has been on RFD a few times in the past, typically around the $800 mark. $717 is an all-time low. SSD and wi-fi card are upgradable but RAM is not.

This is a US model and comes with a US warranty. I personally bought one September 2020 and did need a warranty repair when it turned out the webcam wasn't working. I was able to use Lenovo support chat and they sent me a shipping label for the Canadian repair depot without any issue, but as always YMMV.

I follow the deals
I bought this machine when it was roughly the same price last November and I've been extremely happy with it. Other than the screen not being as bright as I would have liked, it's fast, light and well-built. Would recommend!

Also the Vivobook flip at Costco on the other thread which has a R7 4700/16/512 Flip for $799. More powerful processor and larger SSD. Plus the Costco laptop will have a 2 yr warranty. The LVO model has a pen if you need that feature.

As an admitted laptop long hauler (my current laptop is from 2011), these flip hinges scare me when it comes to reliability. Give me a standard laptop any day, with even a thicker case and better cooling. No touchscreen or stylus either, just more things that can fail.

It really depend on your usage. In my profession we need to use bluebeam regularly and I found that having a stylus is a blessing.
If 2 in 1 is not your cup of tea, regular laptop usually go for cheaper.

I think "better" is very debatable. That soldered 4GB means no dual channel over 8GB, that's a huge limitation.
Happy Koodo Public Mobile and Videotron Fizz customer :-)

I'm assuming you live in one of the provinces neighbouring Quebec? I live in BC and I've needed to type in French maybe twice. Ever. A bilingual keyboard would be a deal breaker for me.

No, I live and work in downtown Toronto, grew up in Mississauga, did high school in Brampton. I am just a typical Canadian that actually uses both Canada's official languages.

This is a bilingual keyboard discussion, reason and logic are not permitted here.

P.S. Decent deal. The RAM allotment saves this laptop.
I aim to be inclusive and considerate of others in my posts. If I fall short of that mark, feel free to let me know in good faith, and where appropriate, I'll edit my posts. Thank you.

Had to return mine to BestBuy today as it suddenly got stuck on a Restart loop. Found some videos on Youtube with people having similar issues with Win10 but tried all the steps to fix to no avail...

Ontario is right next to Quebec. You're assuming that the rest of Canada is just like Ontario, but the further you get from Quebec the less French is spoken. In the west most people can't read or speak it with any fluency and we almost never need bilingual keyboards. Mandarin would be much more useful.

Yup! agreed, I don't know why he assumed I live near Quebec.

Anyone know what SSD are compatible to upgrade with this? I heard they use a thinner model, like just one sided with the chips or something like that.
