Can I pay monthly or pay in instalments?

Yes. You can choose to pay for your laptop monthly up to 24 months with our finance partner, Payl8r. Simply choose the Payl8r option at checkout. You can pay an optional deposit, and choose how many months.

About Lenovo Laptop IdeaPad Flex 5i - 12th Generation Core i5 8GB RAM 512GB SSD Chrome OS Backlit Keyvoard 14" IPS FHD Touchscreen

The IdeaPad Flex 5 is as flexible as your day. Its 360-degree hinge lets you write an essay in laptop mode, then flip it to tent mode to watch movies once you've hit 'submit'. The IPS touchscreen is a bit taller than Full HD, giving you a bigger view when you're working between multiple windows. And it's all powered by a 12th gen Intel® Core™ i5 processor, so you can get those to-do tasks ticked off in no time.
