Only @ Best BuyWork, play and watch videos with this Lenovo Flex 4 laptop. This laptop is thin and lightweight, which makes it easy to transport, and it has a vibrant 14-inch Full HD display. Find the perfect angle with its four different viewing modes and 360-degree hinge. Use this Lenovo Flex 4 laptop for up to seven hours on a single charge.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This item is a huge jump from what I used to have. I traded in my Lenovo 14" 100s. I loved the 100s but it was not upgradeable!
The flex 4 changed all of that !
It can support up a 16gb single stick ddr4@ 2133mhz memory.
It supports any 2.5 inch hdd. Mine came with a seagate 500gb hdd. I have seen others with a 500gb WD Blue drive.
This pc can be upgraded to a ssd of any variety !
The pc relies on integrated graphics from the skylake processor. It's a dual core chip but is plenty of fast enough doe everyday operation.
The touch screen has a good amount of glare when in direct sun. But works well and with windows 10 can use a tablet mode that will auto launch the keyboard.
The integrated keyboard is good, I would have like 2 full size shift keys. I often find my self press the up arrow because I'm used to a full size shift.
The keyboard is not backlit with I'm not expecting for this price point. My sister has the i5 model flex 4 and it has a backlit keyboard.
The unit comes with 3 USB ports (2-3.0,1-2.0) and they support charging when off. This feature can be turned off in bios.
The screen is 1368x768 so 720p. For you video nuts.
It can support display outputs to hdmi only.
It has a headphone mic combo jack, and an inbeded Ethernet jack! Huge plus!!
Comes with a full size wall charger that is apple style. The metal wall prongs don't fold in though, charges the laptop full in about 2 hrs. There's a small indicator near the charging port that indicates the charge status orange - white.
When using in tablet mode and the keyboard is face down with the screen flat the power plus is a little off. It works but is not perfectly aligned so a little skewed. I don't thing it will cause any damage just a minor design flaw.
The included sd card slot is a plus when of loading photos on the go.
Over all I would highly recommend this item! It's a steal if a deal. If you have any questions leave them below!

Can I download photos from my iPhone 6s onto this computer?

Yes !! Currently running iOS 10.2.2 and with a lightning to USB cable I'm able to see the phone under file explorer as a drive. I'm able to copy the photos off, you will have to press the message that allows you to trust the pc on your phone before it shows.

Currently using iPhone 6s+

Is hard drive easy to remove?

Yes !! Super easy there are 9 screws to remove the back plate and then the hdd is held in place with 3 screws one under the Lenovo warranty sticker.

I would recommend an ssd for fastest boot times. Current boot is about 30s with ssd it's about 6s

I'm want to buy this computer for my elderly mother. Can I remote into it from my computer using RDC or the like? Or is it limiting like Win 7 OS Home ed.? "Home" computers are the ones where you need to be able to remote in to assist your loved ones. :)

I have this pc and it came with win10 home

RDC is only supported in pro editions. You can use other services such as team viewer, bomgar.

There may be a learning curve with win 10 but the touch screen can make life easy

If you have any questions please ask
