Affordable Lenovo 2-in-1 with stylus is now available for under 1 lakh!

November 21, 2024

Truth be told there aren’t that many options when it comes to affordable 2-in-1 machines in Nepal with most of them soaring beyond that 1 lakh price point. Some Inspiron models from Dell, Lenovo’s own IdeaPad Flexes, and Envys from HP are your best bet. But, an older soul from back in 2022 is now available with extra bits and pieces. So in this short coverage, I’ll briefly touch on the Lenovo Flex 7 (2022), its features and specifications, alongside price in Nepal and availability.

Lenovo Flex 7 (2022) Overview

Design and Display

Let’s take a quick look at the aesthetic appeal of the Flex 7. It’s a 2-in-1 that can be used in a variety of ways including tent, stand, and tablet modes where you fold the screen based on application need. The top of the case is made out of aluminium that gives off a hint of premium feel but the bottom and rest of the chassis is plastic. Regardless, the ‘Stone Blue’ color option looks pretty subtle and the package is pretty portable at just over 1600 grams.

For the display, you are getting a 14” touch screen with 1440p resolution and 300 nits of brightness. The IPS panel is locked at 60Hz but the colors (100% sRGB) and contrast (1500:1) are pretty good for the price.

Performance and Memory

Unfortunately one of the biggest downsides of this machine is the old Alder Lake processor from Intel. The Core i5 1235U powering this unit isn’t the most powerful or the most efficient today but it’s still a good enough chipset for everyday necessities. There are 10 cores in total with 12 threads and a boost clock of up to 4.4 GHz.

The LPDDR4x-4266 memory is soldered to the system board and cannot be expanded after purchase. Another downer is that the laptop is only available in 8GB trim which might not be enough for anyone looking to push their Windows system once in a while. Something like the HP Envy x360 has slower DDR4 RAM but the sticks on that can be upgraded for better multitasking performance.

Battery Life and Ports

Powering the Flex 7 is a 59Wh Lithium Polymer cell that Lenovo says can last up to 11 hours of continuous 1080p video playback at 150nits. The charging takes place via the Thunderbolt 4 Type-C connection with the 65W AC brick shipped inside the box. Other ports on the Flex 7 (2022) include two Type-As, an SD card slot, a HDMI, and an audio jack. There’s also a fingerprint reader for ease of access and security and additional features like a backlit keyboard and WiFi 6E support.

Alongside your purchase, there’s also an additional gift: the Lenovo Digital Pen with 4096 different levels of pressure sensitivity. This can be helpful while navigating the OS in tablet or tent modes or for taking notes and such. There are also two customizable buttons for quick actions and shortcuts.
