HDMI 2.0 should be the norm these day. 4k screen are pretty common setup for WFH and this laptop is fast enough for it. Just a shame it can only do 4k 30hz. it seem the ryzen version does come with HDMI 2.0 tho.
It's a 1080p economy laptop.
What resolution/bandwidth are you expecting to need on its secondary display?
BEST ANSWER:RAM 12 GB soldered on the motherboard. Can't be changed/upgraded.

Beware the speakers onthe flex 5- ryzen 4500u were very low volume. These are intel, but still I recommend people hearing them in person at a B&M store before buying them

This cpu does have hdmi 2.0. https://ark.intel.com/content/www...0-ghz.html

It's not Lenovo, it's intel's fault. They did not add hdmi 2.0 until 11th gen

most laptop speakers range from below average to poor. imo, not much of a difference between that. it's always been headphones and external/bluetooth. so onboard speakers never played into any laptop buying decision. i got a 20 dollar bluetooth jbl speaker that really fills a room quite well.

How's this compared to HP from Costco? Same specs, $50 more. Is Lenovo a better brand?

I tried most laptops in this range from Costco about 3-4 months ago. While I ended up spending extra and going with the LG Gram 14 at $999, I do remember that the Flex had a better feel + screen than the Pavilion, which felt plasticky to me.
