News & Reviews:   Lenovo IdeaPad Flex Malaysia launch

Lenovo has recently launched the IdeaPad Flex, a dual-mode notebook PC with a 10-point multitouch touchscreen from $680 (RM2173). Like so many other convertible-like notebooks you can flip the hinge about 300 degrees (with the keyboard facing down) to transforem into a tablet with a stand. Tech specs for the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex includes an Intel Core i3 processor, 4GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT740M graphics, 14-inch display with 10-point multitouch and 1366 x 768 pixel resolution. The notebook weighs in at 2kg with measurements going at 343 x 250 x 21mm. Other features include a 720p webcam, Dolby certified speakers and a 48Wh battery which according to Lenovo should last for about 6 hours or so. We suspect that this is a lower-end version of the Lenovo Flex 14 which is already available in Malaysia at RM2299 with the same design but with higher-end specs so it shouldn't be that long before a Malaysia release date for this version is announced. There is also a larger 15.6-inch display version called the Lenovo Flex 15.
