What makes the Lenovo Flex 5 with Ryzen 5 4500U the bestseller on Amazon at just $599.99?

0

The laptop came in May this year and was available for orders and I was one of the firsts to write about it and then the Lenovo Flex 5 just got popular overnight. It was selling like hotcakes, which is still as it holds the no. 1 spot, and has become a choice for a lot of reviewers and enthusiasts who need a good laptop at budget.

There are a lot of laptops out there but why this budget, made of plastic, the 2-in-1 laptop is the best selling 2-in-1 laptop out there? Now, there are almost 15 sellers just on Amazon for the same laptop because of the insane value this laptop gives you. In this article, I will state some facts that still makes this laptop the best budget laptop out there.

Lenovo Flex 5 14-inch 2-in-1 Laptop with Ryzen 5 4500U available at just $599.99

Lenovo Flex 5 14-inch 2-in-1 Laptop Specs

The Lenovo Flex 5 14-inch features the AMD Ryzen 5 4500U which comes with 6 Zen 2 cores running at 2.3 GHz base clock speed and up to 4.0 GHz boost clock speed. It is coupled with 16 GB DDR4 RAM & 256 GB SSD storage.

Lenovo promises up to 10 hours of battery life along with quick charge support that can charge up to 80% in just 1 hour with the 65W adapter, which indeed is great for a budget notebook.

The Lenovo Flex 5 14-inch 2-in-1 Laptop features a 10-point, 14-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS touchscreen with narrow bezels on 4 sides of the display gives you more viewing area and less clutter to interfere with the task at hand.

What makes the Lenovo Flex 5 with Ryzen 5 4500U the bestseller on Amazon at just $599.99?

The laptop is very thin and light weighing just 3.64 lbs and AMD Radeon Vega 6 graphics with 6 CUs and 1500 MHz graphics frequency make it ideal for productivity purposes as well as gaming. Its 360° hinge let you use your 2-in-1 touchscreen laptop in whatever mode works best for you.

The Lenovo Flex 5 features 2 x 2W Speakers with Dolby Audio support and includes a physical privacy shutter on the HD 720p camera with Fixed-Focus CMOS. For connectivity, you have 2×2 Wi-Fi 5 (802.11 ac) and Bluetooth 4.2 options, for ports we have 2 USB-A, 1 USB Type-C, and an HDMI port. 

Reasons to make this laptop the best-sellers:

  • Performance – This laptop houses the most powerful budget APU currently, the 6 core, 6 threaded Ryzen 5 4500U which performs even better than any Intel Ice or Comet Lake CPUs. If Intel ones still deliver better or almost similar single-core performance, the Ryzen 5 4500U just makes every Intel CPU shy even though it’s still a budget APU. Being coupled with 16GB RAM is a major boost for this laptop and the price-to-performance ratio of this laptop is unmatched.

  • Productivity – Being a proper 2-in-1 touchscreen laptop helps this laptop in a lot of perspectives as it’s not only portable being very light and having a touchscreen it helps to do anything you want to be it watching movies, writing notes or just casual work-related stuff, this is an allrounder at budget.
  • Battery Life – On any budget laptop, most brands neglect this part completely but here even though it houses a 6-core CPU but thanks to AMD’s 7nm efficiency, the laptop still is able to deliver around 10 hours of battery life which has lasted for 7-8 hours for most reviewers out there, still good enough for a budget laptop. It also has quick charge support that can charge up to 80% in just 1 hour.
  • Price – Yes, price is a big factor for choosing this laptop because at this price you do not get a laptop with such great APU with strong integrated graphics and the fact that it also a 2-in-1 laptop makes the deal even sweeter. There a lot of laptops or say premium ultrabooks that cannot deliver such performance at the price its available at.
What makes the Lenovo Flex 5 with Ryzen 5 4500U the bestseller on Amazon at just $599.99?
  • Other minor things – Even though it has plastic body it still looks and feels good, the keyboard is still very decent for a budget laptop and it still has backlit one as well. It comes with a Lenovo Active Pen included which makes things easier and helps in your daily life as well, it has a privacy shutter on the webcam for security along with a physical fingerprint reader. The front-firing speakers and the touchpad are also good enough in daily usage.

Obviously, nothing is perfect, this is still a laptop out of plastic, lacks Wi-Fi 6 or Thunderbolt port, it doesn’t have the most colour accurate display but still is worthwhile for the price. This laptop is ideal for a lot of students who need a good laptop at a budget or just another 2-in-1 for everyday use, or just another laptop for even compiling codes or doing browsing sessions, playing casual games.

The price is what makes the new Lenovo Flex 5 is a great option and if you still want to know more about it check this review:

If somehow you end up deciding to get one do buy from here: https://amzn.to/3jkYLZY

You can also go for the Lenovo Flex 5 with Ryzen 7 4700U & 512GB NVMe SSD: https://amzn.to/3heseDk

Now, if you reside in India like me, then Amazon is shipping the laptop internationally as well for around $380 extra which is worthwhile to note, but you can get it shipped via third party carriers as well. Whenever this laptop comes to India and if Lenovo prices it right then this will also be a best seller in the country.

Inter in talks with Junior Firpo’s agents for days to speed up Lautaro Martinez deal

0

Previously we had rumours of Junior Firpo playing the key role in the Lautaro deal which Barcelona had been dreaming about for quite some time now. But this was not to be believed by some as this lacked proper evidence.

Now a new report from Spanish broadcaster ESPN Deportes says it’s serious as Inter has been talking with Firpo’s agents for days now to speed up the negotiations involving the Blaugranas and Inter over the Argentine.

Inter in talks with Junior Firpo’s agents for days to speed up Lautaro Martinez deal

Barcelona has been hunting down the Inter striker Lautaro Martinez for a long time but still couldn’t make a deal with them for the lack of funds at the club. So they always wished to do a player plus cash deal but Inter never really wanted any Barca player as such until now.

Inter seems to be liking the highly-rated 22-year-old Junior Firpo and Barca is ready to offer him to the Nerazzurri if it helps them get a deal done for Lautaro Martinez.

Although this will make things even more complex for the Blaugranas as they will lose its backup left-back and selling the likes of Marc Cucurella, Juan Miranda will be leaving them with none for next season. Even though Inter has been in talks with Firpo over a move to complete the Lautaro deal but Barcelona still needs to give Inter €70 million on top of him.

The report says that Barcelona seems to be confident about raising the appropriate funds by selling Philippe Coutinho or even selling Arturo Vidal and or Ivan Rakitic as well. FC Barcelona has already reached an agreement with Lautaro regarding personal terms and is now prioritising in signing him over Neymar to replace Saurez in the near future.

So, this makes Junior Firpo a key to this deal but Barcelona also knows that the negotiations will not be quick and will take some time so he will not be signed before the end of the current season. Although Barcelona is still strong in attacking options especially having Greizmann and Saurez its needless of spending that much amount for another striker while overlooking its defence.

Moto G9 Play spotted in Geekbench with a more powerful processor than Moto G8 Play

Moto G8 Play was launched nearly at the end of the previous year so now the company is already working on the successors of the G series. Yes, we are talking particularly about the Moto G9 Play. The Moto G9 Play will be one of the entry-level smartphones of the G series this year with various kinds of specs upgraded from the previous versions.

Last year we have seen that the Moto G8 Play was using MediaTek Helio P70M but this year according to reports the successor G9 Play seems to have a motherboard codenamed “camp”. We have no concrete information about this chipset but reports claim that its an old Snapdragon 665 chipset. Though old, still better than the MediaTek Helio P70M.

Lately, we have spotted the Moto G9 Play in the Geekbench 5 listing. The listing shows a 4G RAM variant an octa-core processor that has a 1.80GHz base frequency and the processor name suggested Qualcomm might confirm the Snapdragon 665 chipset. The phone will also run on Android 10.

Moto G8 Play only has 2GB RAM as it is considered to be the entry-level smartphone of the G series but the G9 Play will have 4GB RAM as mentioned by Geekbench, and we are pretty sure there might be some lower RAM variant for this device available during launch if Moto wants this device to make an entry-level smartphone of the G series.

This device is not the first one to surface from the new G9 series – Moto G9 Plus 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB storage which was listed at an online retailer at €277.

A roadmap predicts the launches of upcoming Qualcomm and MediaTek chips

0

Interestingly, a research conducted by an investment bank has provided with a roadmap of the upcoming Qualcomm and MediaTek chipsets and some more details as well.

A Weibo user posted the roadmap wherein we see the next-gen 5nm based Qualcomm chip will be launching Snapdragon 875G sometime in the Q1 2021. What’s more interesting is that it says that the chip will be based on the Samsung’s 5nm EUV process.

A roadmap predicts the launches of upcoming  Qualcomm and MediaTek chips

Although initial rumours had proven that TSMC would continue be the supplier of the silicon. Then we see the prediction suggesting the immediate launch of the mid-range Snapdragon 735G chipset which also based on the same 5nm EUV process.

Surprisingly, there’s a mention of an entry-level Snapdragon 435G chipset as well which should debut at almost the same time. The prediction also suggests a timeline for MediaTek chips as well. In Q3 of 2020 itself, we should see the launch of Dimensity 600 based on the 7nm process.

Now there’s the mention of the Dimensity 400 which is expected to land at the beginning of next year and it seems to be 6nm chipset, another strange prediction. Also, there’s the mention of the 5G-enabled 5nm flagship SoC from MediaTek which will land in Q2 2021.
