Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 6 14 (2019)

Probably the best thing about Intel's tenth gen Ice Lake processors is that we're seeing a lot less expensive costs for PCs fueled by eighth-gen Intel CPUs, and here's a valid example.

Cost and arrangement We tried a $499 form of the IdeaPad Flex 6 14 that, on paper, resembles a strong entertainer with regards to regular registering assignments and efficiency, although it's somewhat confined in the capacity office.

CPU: Quad-core Intel Core i5-8250U

RAM: 8GB DDR4 SDRAM

GPU: Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620

Display: 14-inch 1920 x 1080 touchscreen

Storage: 128GB SSD

The incorporated designs are standard issue for profitability disapproved of the workstation in this value run.

Plan Lenovo isn't known for conspicuous structure with regards to its workstations, and our onyx-dark IdeaPad Flex 6 14 survey unit is no special case.

Estimating 12.9 x 9 x 0.7 inches, the Flex 6 14 feels pleasingly meager, but on the other hand, it's a bit overwhelming at 3.4 pounds.

Being the 2-in-1 PC that it is, the Flex 6 14 lets you turn its presentation right around for tablet use, or you can likewise tent it on a work area or spot it console down with its showcase calculated up, stand style.

Talking about the Flex 6 14's touchscreen, it lands with genuinely flimsy bezels at the edges and top, yet also a thick 1.5-inch base bezel.

Show The IdeaPad Flex 6 14's full-HD show is something of a diverse assortment.

As I referenced before, Lenovo doesn't determine whether this specific model of the Flex 6 14 uses an IPS board, yet it sure appears as though it does.

All in all, we incline toward workstation show splendor closer to the 250-nit run.

While 230 nits are as yet satisfactory for an indoor survey, you'll make some harder memories seeing the showcase on the off chance that you take the Flex 6 14 outside.

Back on the in addition to side, the Flex 6 14's touchscreen reacted expeditiously and easily to my taps and swipes, and I experienced no difficulty composing utilizing its onscreen console.

The showcase is perfect with Lenovo's Active Pen, which is accessible for an extra $50. Console, trackpad and speakers The Flex 6 14's illuminated console flaunts a pleasingly material feel, with a nice measure of movement, a strong material knock in every keystroke, and a satisfyingly springy bounce back.

The Flex 6 14 highlights several down-terminating Harman Kardon-structured speakers.

Dolby sound lifts the soundstage a touch, yet else we're talking your standard meh PC speakers, predominantly ailing in bass reaction.

Ports The Flex 6 14 accompanies a standard cluster of ports for a 2-in-1 convertible in its value extends.

There's a second USB 3.0 Type-A port, a media card peruser, and a PC security space.

All things considered, we can't grumble about the Flex 6 14's assortment of ports.

Of course, Thunderbolt 3 ports would have been an or more, yet you'll never discover any in a PC this modest.

If we needed to bandy about something, it would be about the excessively simple to-squeeze control button on the Flex's correct edge.

Execution Overall, the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 6 14's exhibition in our benchmarks was about as mediocre as we anticipated.

Some portion of the test is its 2-in-1 structure factor, which is harder to keep cool than a conventional clamshell PC.

We were additionally fairly frustrated by the Flex's risky battery life, particularly given the size of said battery.

Then again, the quad-center IdeaPad Flex 6 14 figured out how to set up some strong numbers when it came to multi-center execution.

PCMark 8 Work 2.0 Conventional Our first benchmark gauges how a given PC performs with regards to every day figuring errands.

While our IdeaPad Flex 6 14 comes in 6th out of nine PCs in our correlation outline, they're all pretty much clustered together in the 3,100-to-3,500 territory, which is well over the base required.

Running HandBrake will increase pressure on any PC CPU, and it can take somewhere in the range of 45 minutes to 90 minutes to finish.

As should be obvious from the diagram, the Flex 6 14's HandBrake score is truly strong, prevailing over a year ago's model while standing its ground against an IdeaPad S340 with a quad-center Whiskey Lake Core i5 processor.

Our Cinebench test gauges to what extent it takes for a PC to render a 3D picture continuously, and as with HandBrake, it's a benchmark that favors multi-center processors.

Not at all like the extensive HandBrake test Cinebench just takes a couple of moments to run, indicating how a specific workstation handles a short eruption of exceptional CPU movement.

While the IdeaPad Flex 6 14's Cinebench execution isn't as noteworthy as its HandBrake score, regardless it figures out how to remain over the 500 imprint, which is the thing that we'd anticipate from a quad-center Core i5 CPU. All things considered, the Flex 6 14's Cinebench result misses the mark regarding a year ago's Flex 6 14, and its single-string execution is likewise a piece on the low side.

3DMark Sky Diver Saddled with coordinated illustrations, all things considered, the IdeaPad Flex 6 14 is no gaming machine and doesn't profess to be.

We won't keep you in tension: not a lot of interest here, with the Flex 6 14 arriving in basically a similar blah region as comparable PCs with incorporated designs centers.

We ought to likewise take note of that last year's IdeaPad Flex 6 14 comes in dead last in spite of having discrete GeForce MX130 illustrations in support of its.

We were astounded by that outcome at that point, regardless we're bewildered about why the more established Flex fell so far short given its discrete illustrations card.

The Flex 6 14's disappointingly fair, with its 48 watt-hour battery enduring a normal of 473 minutes, or barely short of eight hours.

Presently, eight hours may sound quite great, however, that figure will fall once you start putting weight on the CPU, and we've likewise observed a lot of PCs with comparatively measured batteries figure out how to make it well past the 500-minute imprint.

Primary concern Having ticked off the entirety of the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 6 14's presentation numbers-some great, some just not terrible, but not great either there's one more figure we should concentrate on 500, as in dollars, which is a quite economical sticker price for a cleaned quad-center convertible like this one.

Without a doubt, we would have favored better battery life and a more splendid showcase, yet bargains are the name of the game with regards to spending workstations.

In case you're in the market for a deal evaluated at this point profitability centered 2-in-1 and you can live without throughout the day battery life, the IdeaPad Flex 6 14 merits a look.
