We have also tested the Flex 15's smaller brother IdeaPad Flex 14 ( Core i5-4200U, HD Graphics 4400), and thus we are familiar with the Flex model's concept. Besides the traditional laptop mode, the device also features a so-called Stand Mode that facilitates using the touchscreen. Now the company has expanded its range by a fairly affordable office laptop dubbed IdeaPad Flex 15. We previously tested Lenovo's IdeaPad Yoga 13 (Core i5-3317U, HD Graphics 4000) model from this series. Lenovo already has many different laptops that offer wide opening angles in its product line, for example the IdeaPad Yoga models.

The Flex 15 also makes data backup and recovery a snap.For the original German review, see here. With OneKey® Recovery, bouncing back from technical difficulties is a snap. Optimized for Windows 8, the intuitive, easy-to-use touchpad features simple scroll, zoom, and rotate functions. The Flex 15's speakers deliver rich stereo sound, while Dolby Advanced Audio provides an immersive audio experience, enhances audio quality, and reduces distortion. Stereo Speakers With Dolby® Advanced Audio™ The acclaimed AccuType keyboard is ergonomically designed to make typing more comfortable and to reduce errors. Thin and light laptops usually bear a hefty price tag, but the affordable Flex 15 is only 22.2mm (0.87') thick and weighs in at just 2.2kg (5.1 lbs). Less than 1' Thick Weighs Less Than 5 Pounds Lenovo Energy Management protects the long-term durability of the battery and uses advanced energy-saving technology to increase time spent between charges. With up to 9 hours' battery life between charges, the Flex 15 is an ideal companion for users on the go. Interact with your Flex 15 by using simple, intuitive gestures directly on the 15.6' 10-point multitouch display - optimized for Windows 8. The Flex 15's unique design means it adapts to whatever you choose to Do. But when you're focusing on touch applications, web chatting, or enjoying a film or video, flip the screen 300 degrees to enter stand mode. When you're relying heavily on the keyboard - drafting documents or working on a spreadsheet, for example - keep your Flex 15 in the classic laptop mode for maximum productivity.
