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.

- With 512 GB SSD storage, you have plenty of space for the important stuff
- You'll look sharp when chatting to friends and colleagues on the Full HD webcam
- With ChromeOS you get a smooth and streamlined experience and access to your favourite apps
- There's a USB-A and two USB-C ports – hook up a monitor, charge your phone and still have room for dongles
- The webcam privacy shutter lets you decide when you want to be seen on camera
- ChromeOS is stable and efficient so 8 GB of RAM is plenty for all your everyday needs
