Really tempting, but 32GB internal storage is insufficient for app installation.
Apps and their cache & files chew up internal storage quickly, though you can still save media files on SD.

This CPU destroys most you'll see in other Chromebooks under $200, but yeah much sweeter deals with open box. I saw as low as $105. 1080p IPS touchscreen, nice build, blazing fast in browser, but yeah the 32GB of slow storage is limiting. Still a killer CB for the money.

No, this wasn't. It was FP with a $299.99 price tag and the cheapest was $270. You're confusing some other Chromebook with it. And don't compare used price for some 3rd party seller with a brand new one.

Appreciate the appreciation my friend. Thought of adding that because people may confuse that with low powered (ULT) Apollo Lake, Jasper Lake Pentium and Celeron Processors which are far slower than this one.

Someone was able to transplant a faster and larger 256gb nvme ssd into it. Worth to take a look!

i got the flex 5 with "satisfactory" used condition for 3 weeks. the price for it brand new inbox has been at this price of $219.99 since i started to look into it. i know there was a thread about it at $270 the last time. but the price has been at $219.99 since then. its not new and its never been back to $270 on any day since i got my used openbox flex 5.

how do i know? cuz i checked on it every day for the "excellent" openbox. my "satisfactory" one was a beatup. you can see my posts about it on almost all chromebook threads.

I got an open box last week for $94, popped in a 128GB m.2 SSD and it's fantastic.

The Pentium 7505 is awesome. About as fast as i3-1115G4, MUCH faster than N4020 you usually see in low-end Chromebooks.

If I could only figure out how to get Ubuntu properly working on it, it would be an amazing 2-in-1 for the price.

I'm not finding any information about being able to add m.2 ssd, saw Lenovo rep respond to a question asking if you can add one on the Best Buy forum and it's a no.

Is it easy to swap the SSD or is there a separate slot you used?

I posted details on swapping out the SSD here.

Fairly straightforward, but requires reflashing the OS using a USB drive.
