AMD's fourth-generation mobile Ryzen CPUs bring strong performance and battery life to this budget convertible.

Lenovo's refreshed IdeaPad Flex 5 14 hasn't physically changed too much since the Flex 14 of last year. Instead, the big draw is the use of the latest AMD Ryzen mobile processors (CPU) to boost battery life, thermals, and performance. Considering these laptops are priced well within the budget range, they're no doubt going to appeal to those who want a well-built convertible without spending Yoga C-series prices. I've been using the Flex 5 14 for about a week to see how well it stands up to daily use and whether or not it's worth a buy.
