It's also known as the IdeaPad Flex 5 CB at some retailers as it's closely related to the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14 (2020). Only the CPU, RAM, and storage are configurable. We tested the Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5 13 with a 13.3" display, an Intel Celeron 5205U, integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620, 4GB RAM, and 32GB of storage in the Graphite Gray color scheme. Models equipped with the 128GB NVMe SSD will run smoother overall.
There are variants with an intel Core i3-10110U CPU, which are better for medium multitasking and won't lag as much as the Celeron 5205U variants. We tested the Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5 with an Intel Celeron 5205U CPU, integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620, 4GB of RAM, and 32GB of eMMC storage. Neither CPU option is suited for heavy workloads like physics simulations and 3D renders. It's only available with power-efficient Intel CPUs, which perform fine for light productivity tasks and video playback but stutter if you have lots of browser tabs open. The port selection is sub-par, with no option to output to an external monitor, while the battery doesn't last long enough to get through a full workday. Unfortunately, its speakers get loud but don't sound very good, the webcam loses out on fine details, and the microphone is staticky and records hollow-sounding speech. Its 1080p screen displays crisp images and text, but sadly, it doesn't get bright enough to overcome reflections and looks washed out due to its narrow color gamut.
The keyboard feels good to type on, with a good amount of travel, and it doesn't cause fatigue. It's very lightweight and compact, so you can easily bring it around to do work on the go. The Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5 (2020) is a very well-built Chrome OS convertible with a 360-degree hinge.
