Lenovo Flex 14 (a.k.a. Yoga 530)

Lenovo is coming to MWC 2018 with a few premium consumer Windows 2-in-1 laptops, the Yoga 730 13” and 15”, and a mid-range one, the Flex 14, also known as the Yoga 530 outside of North America.

Equipped with a 14-inch FHD (1920×1080) display, the elegant computing machine features the latest 8th Gen Intel Core processor (up to Core i7)with up to 16GB DDR4 and Harman Speakers with Dolby Audio Premium. On the graphics side, Lenovo customers will be able to select a configuration with up to the NVIDIA GeForce MX130 (4 GB DDR5 dedicated) discreet GPU.

Besides the regular yearly hardware update, Lenovo worked on the industrial design, cleaning the edges to deliver a more comfortable grip when holding the Flex 14 in tablet mode. The most famous feature of the Yoga lineup is its 360 rotation capability, transforming from a clamshell laptop to a Windows tablet, so Lenovo revamped the hinge to make the motion smoother.

Tipping the scale at 3.25 lbs (1.6kg), the 17.6 mm (.69”) thin Flex 14 comes with one USB 3.1 Type-C and two USB 3.0 Type A ports, one HDMI connector, 4-in-1 card slot, and an audio jack.

For those who like advanced security, an optional fingerprint reader is available with Windows Hello. Windows Hello is an application that allows to unlock the computer using a combination of fingerprint reading, iris and face recognition.

With the Flex 14, Lenovo offers good performance in a sleek and elegant package at an affordable price.

With Active pen support, the Flex 14 will be available in Onyx Black on April 18 bundled with the Lenovo Active Pen 2 at a starting price of $599.99. Please note that not all SKU will be bundled with the Active Pen 2, and resellers price may vary.
