Opening the lid with one hand is not possible. The hinges have a firm grip on the lid but wobble. Also, it can be pressed to such an extent in some places that the image distorts. ![]() However, the lid could be a bit more rigid. The aluminum element provides stability so that the base unit can only be warped marginally. Our review sample also generally does not stand evenly on the table. This causes the right foot to lift from the surface. The base unit yields slightly underneath the touchpad. The laptop is also available with a silver rim. This does not look too extravagant, and it should not insult conservative eyes. An orange-colored plastic rim encloses both the base unit's upper side and the lid as a contrast.

Our test report reveals whether the Flex 15 is convincing. Besides that, we reviewed a laptop from Lenovo's subsidiary Medion in form of the Akoya S6212T, which uses the same design. We have also tested the Flex 15's smaller brother IdeaPad Flex 14 ( Core i5-4200U, HD Graphics 4400), and thus we are familiar with the Flex model's concept. Besides the traditional laptop mode, the device also features a so-called Stand Mode that facilitates using the touchscreen. Now the company has expanded its range by a fairly affordable office laptop dubbed IdeaPad Flex 15. We previously tested Lenovo's IdeaPad Yoga 13 (Core i5-3317U, HD Graphics 4000) model from this series. Lenovo already has many different laptops that offer wide opening angles in its product line, for example the IdeaPad Yoga models. For the original German review, see here. ![]()
