i'm dan ackerman and we are here taking a look at the Lenovo IdeaPad flex 14 now of course everybody knows Lenovo's yoga line those are the laptops with the screen bends back of all the way around has become a flat tablet or you'll stop anywhere in between those can be kind of expensive they started about a thousand dollars the flex line takes some of those ideas but makes them less expensive the main continue to the flex a valve one a 14 or 15 inch side is that the screen does bend back goes all the way like this keeps going but then it stops right around 300 degrees like this so you have what I call kind of a kiosk mode and you can use that day obviously it's a touchscreen you can use that to display let's say a PowerPoint to a group or watch a video and you don't have the keyboard and the touchpad in front of you so it sort of like a small monitor a touchscreen monitor you can use and then when you're done you just fold it down and the screen comes right back here like this now the flex 14 starts at under six hundred dollars that's a pretty good deal we have a core i5 version here with the 128 gig SSD I've seen the price for that very pretty steeply between seven something about 999 you really get all over the place with the pricing the flex 14 feels a little plastic alittle budget so you're going to want to look at the lower end of the price scale for these maybe the core i5 version with a regular hard drive where they have a core i3 version as well if I spend a thousand dollars or more in one of these I want a more solid body with more metal more more sort of a high-end feel you still get the very excellent lenovo keyboard design although the keyboard flexes a little bit under my fingers and great time span of course the touchscreen is always very responsive and it's interesting to have a a flexible screen that's kind of like a yoga and something that's a little bit bigger those are 11 and 13 inch these come in 14 and 15 inch sizes i'm dan ackerman and that is the Lenovo IdeaPad flex 14 you
