Lenovo is on a roll in the last few weeks, launching a variety of new PCs like the new Legion and ThinkPad laptops. Today, the company is adding a new member to its IdeaPad family and it's a 2-in-1 model featuring AMD's Ryzen 4000 Mobile series CPUs - the IdeaPad Flex 5.

As the name suggests, the IdeaPad Flex 5 is a flexible device. It can be used in standard laptop orientation, laid flat like a tablet, or placed in tent mode. When used normally, you'll be able to the keyboard, while the tablet mode will allow you to use a stylus with the touch screen. The bezels on this screen are pretty narrow too, so watch videos on it should feel quite immersive.
