Before jumping to the features and specs, it must come down as a breather that this laptop does not demand a fat cheque. The thing about the laptop market is that a premium convertible always costs a bomb. But in this case it’s premium, it’s a convertible, it’s Lenovo, and it has a decent price.

Features and Specifications
Lenovo Flex 6 is powerful than an average MacBook air, says an aberration. (Pun intended)
But the 2-in-1 convertible is packed with great features and can meet all your needs. With a powerful processor and equally beautiful design, this laptop is an excellent choice for those who hate shelling out big money.
Processor and Graphics
It is geared with 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8550U processor that delivers a strong performance along with speedy execution of programs. Clocked at a speed of 1.8GHz it gives you optimum speed and no stutter even while you multitask.
This proves to be the best because 8th Gen Intel Core is specially designed for Ultra-portable and light laptops. Predominantly this laptop has no significant downsides. For the price, it is incredibly fast and worth every penny. One of the most remarkable features is that the cooling fan is as smooth as the legendary MacBook air.
So you won’t hear it roaring like an angry bull when it heats up a little. NVIDIA GeForce MX130 GPU is adequate for stellar graphics and games with additional built-in compatibility for hardware accelerated processing for niche software like Premiere Pro from Adobe. Though you pay an extra $90 or so, this laptop compared to previous Flex 6, gives you a 256GB SSD which is lower for the price you pay. More storage would have made this a game changer laptop in its lineup.
Display and Keyboard
As soon as you open the laptop, your attention is drawn to the majestic aluminum casing. With 1920×1080 pixels, it has comparatively lower resolution than most premium laptops, but can’t 
The lightweight laptop is only 0.8 inches thick and weighs roughly around 3.67 pounds. There is an embedded 720p webcam, which is decent enough for webinars, hangout sessions, skype calls and video conferencing. The premium metal matte look on the keyboard is one of the giveaway features of this model.
The agile metallic sturdy build gives the tactile feel on the keyboard. The keys and the trackpad maintain a reasonable distance from each other, and that is a neat feature. The incredible flat keys can be easily depressed and is a boon for vociferous typists. Also, the backlit keyboard is a huge plus point.
Swinging the laptop converts it into a keyboard. Since the 360-degree hinge is built to be extraordinarily sturdy, it takes some effort to open the laptop with one hand. But you can use the hinge pretty smoothly. You can convert your laptop into a convertible tablet. Though the rest of the laptop is plastic, the keyboard is metal and imparts a regal look to the computer.
Stylus, Ports and Battery and what not!
It would have been great if the stylus pen was a part of the package. Currently one has to shell out additional 40 to 50 dollars on buying a stylus pen, and that is burdensome. But a stylus works strikingly well on the laptop. There are no issues.
There is no stutter, there’s no hesitation, and it is indeed smooth. The right side has an HD card reader slot and a USB 3.2 port while the left side has an audio combo jack for microphones or headphones. There’s also an additional USB 3.0 port and an HDMI power board.
The battery life is fantastic too. This sleek laptop has a battery life that runs for eight hours. The Harmon speakers below the laptop and the Dolby digital audio is intended to give you a power-packed audio experience. Lenovo makes sure that sound quality does not stoop down in any of their laptops. The length of the power adapter cord is disappointing and too short.
Standard adapters these days are at least double the size. To my surprise, it had an additional security layer which is available because of the fingerprint scanner. With this feature embedded, forget the days of complex passwords.
