Deal Details
Looks like the R7 4700U (8c/8t) variant of the recent Flex 5 deal. Should have the same chassis and package, except more storage and better CPU. Probably not the greatest "deal" but worth posting with the hot demand of Ryzen 4000 laptops.
A 512gb ssd is worth roughly $50, and 2 cores is like $50-60, so this makes sense for the people who really need the extra performance in a 2 in 1 form factor.


Product: IdeaPad Flex 5 14ARE05
Machine Type: 81X2
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 4700U (8C / 8T, 2.0 / 4.1GHz, 4MB L2 / 8MB L3)
Graphics: Integrated AMD Radeon Graphics
Memory: 16GB Soldered DDR4-3200
Storage: 512GB SSD M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe
Display: 14" FHD (1920x1080) IPS 250 nits Glossy
WLAN + Bluetooth11ac, 2x2 + BT4.2
Keyboard Backlit
Fingerprint Reader
Battery: Integrated 52.5Wh
Power Adapter: 65W USB-C
OS: Windows 10 Home 64, English

Would this be better than the lenovo flex 5 2-in-1 deal at amazon?
I paid about $770 for the amazon one with warranty, but i can get free 4-year warranty at costco.

It has a bigger SSD and slightly better processor, if that's important to you. Smilie

If you're not looking for a 2 in 1, there'll probably be better priced alternatives soon. And yes, that 250 nit display is the same as the OfficeDepot/Amazon versions, but I haven't seen any better on the Ryzen 4000 2 in 1s.

I don't need it RIGHT NOW and with the way these deals have been coming out every few days I don't mind waiting a few months for them to drop. I'm thinking by holiday season there will be some great deals if these are the mid season eh deals.

How is the screen, my flex 4's screen is pretty dim. Plus an insane position of shift key.

Good deal if you don't mind 250 nits, I'm currently searching for 300+ nits screen. Looks like I will have to wait for the HP envy x360 15 touch with 400 nits screen to go on sale.

Dell inspiron 7000 2-in-1. 220 nits typical, 300 nits max. Not too long ago, there was a 10% urlhasbeenblocked cashback, which brought down the price to about $617 for the Ryzen 4500U version.

Lol, same boat here! If it wasn't so easy to return to amazon and order from Costco, I wouldn't do it.

2% cash back
Double storage
Double warranty

You could also stack the Squaretrade warranty ($99) from Costco.

I'm not aware of an IdeaPad 5 with a RX 5600M. Link?
