best chromebook labtop 2022

                     

              lenovo flex 5 chromebook 

know what that is anyway what's exciting 

about this is it has an AMD processor inside well a couple of years ago that wouldn't be an exciting thing but now with the latest Zen to architecture inside this thing is really gonna perform nicely compared to Intel and beyond that going back to the actual laptop itself for a really good price around 769 you can get a pretty

nicely configured model is a full HD 

display supports touch and pen and the Pens in the box for the one at that price you get a risin 5 4500 you which competes with the Core i5 and Intel's land but performs a little bit better and you get 16 Kings around and then 256 gig nvme SSD nice we're gonna look at it now I know a shout-out to our sponsor keeper security keeping youth safe on the net and everywhere else is the idea so basically they are a password manager on steroids with additional features and the nice thing about keeper is its multi-platform so you can use it on

                                                                                                                               Android and iOS and on Windows and Mac 

and yes it's a native Mac client you can also access via a web browser so that's pretty nice so you've got your usual secure password manager with syncing if you go for the unlimited version across multiple devices yay then and also they have a couple of other interesting features like offline storage so you want to keep a photo of your passport or something like that safe and on your device and not on the cloud or anywhere else you can do that they also have an add-on called breach watch so besides the fact that it's going to let you know if your passwords are weeny - easy and to figure out if you haven't changed

them forever it will actually look at on 

the dark web and look to see if your

username and password combos have been 

in the leaks so you know you ought to change those right away because you know how small companies can be to let you know about that be sure to visit the link in the description and use our promo code to save 20% on personal and family edition

and also in any add-ons like breach 

watch and now back to our video so this

is a 14 inch convertible laptop for 

those who find things like the high end

yoga laptops too expensive but you like 

a lot of what Lenovo

is doing here you get a backlit keyboard 

a Microsoft precision trackpad the

combination of plastic on the lid and 

ABS plastic on the bottom for this price

that's pretty fair again for the 

well-appointed mild that we're looking

at its 769 you can spend a little bit 

less and get only a king's around and

all that sort of thing you know how that 10

kind of rolls but if you want to spend a little more on that you can order it with a 512 gig m2 SSD it's also an

upgradable SSD so you can upgrade it 

yourself unlike the RAM which is

soldered on like most ultrabooks these 

days so the rise in part let's talk

about that for a little bit so and what 

a difference a year makes right several

years ago and these mobile CPUs just ran 

hot the battery life was terrible and then last year they got better at least they didn't run hot in the battery life

wasn't terrible but the performance 

wasn't really there versus the Intel

CPUs witnessed the surface laptop three 

for example available with both Intel and AMD CPUs we reviewed them both and boy there was a difference in performance there so this year with the rise in 540 500 and there's a rise in

seven 4700 you when she is he my guess 

competes with the core i7 and Rison v competes with the core I'm fine well the performance is here folks and so is the battery life and the thermals on this are quite good in fact a little bit better than we usually see from

Intel which means the CPU core 

temperatures are actually running about

5 degrees centigrade cooler compared to 

Intel all very good stuff here from the benchmark so you can see at benchmarks very well the real-life performance is very responsive so spring and for those who are thinking conspiracy theories and all that why we didn't review them

sooner it's all because of koban folks 

PR departments are paired down and

working from home we're just getting 

reviewing and it's in more slowly of

course we'll be getting more in so we 

can look at more AMD systems this year

yeah that so back to the laptop itself 

the full HD IPS display supports touch

and the included with our version pen 

there might be versions that are less

expensive where you have to pay extra 

for the pan it's like $35 and it's what

Lenovo usually use this which is wakame 

yes and I like that a little bit better

than the intrigue technology that HP

is in the competing Envy x-360 line

if you look at this display you'd say oh 

that's pretty nice you probably might

even think it's a hundred percent of 

srgb like you might see on a thousand

dollar laptops or sometimes even $900 

laptops but the metrics aren't actually there could it surprising the contrast

is great on but the color gamut on this 

is kind of a weak sauce with me you can see the values on screen but if you're

not doing this as a pro who's doing 

photo and video editing and all that

sort of thing it's not that bad I would 

have liked to see Lenovo step up the

game a little bit but then again this 

product starts around five hundred and

sixty dollars in the cheapest 

configuration so they can't throw to

high-end parts in there so look forgive 

them that anyway not bad to look at but not something for you Pro photo video

editors and display quality mavens out 

there it's three point three pounds

which is 1.5 kilograms and twenty point 

nine millimeter six not the lightest but not inordinately heavy again for the

price that's fair what you're paying for 

when you buy a more expensive ultrabook generally speaking is lighter weight and

thinner materials and all that sort of 

thing in terms of build and fit and

finish it feels durable enough and feel 

strong and there's no seams or ugliness or anything like that on it it's not bad

looking it's not fantastic looking it's 

available in the darker gray that we

have and a platinum gray as well I'm 

leaving up to use to which you like

better 

the laptop is a USB C port which is also used for charging now in this price

range you don't usually see Thunderbolt 

three anyway but that's like still a got you with AMD's platform because well

Intel developed Thunderbolt 3 and now 

it's available to everybody to use but

it's gonna take some time 

so typically with AMD laptops right now

we're not gonna see Thunderbolt 3 you 

also get two USB a a full sized SD card saw an HDMI and of course an audio jack so connectivity for a 14 inch

convertible that's pretty decent in 

terms of heating noise like I said the processor is doing really well here this is a pretty good sized fan on it but you don't really hear it very much and this

is seven nanometer CPU press it also 

because that's tiny and intel has been

struggling just to get down to 10 from 

14 let alone going down to 7 means more power efficiency generally better heat and all this or anything so this is not gonna drained you with heat or with

noise now if you're pushing it like 

really really hard annoying you know

4k video editing or something like that

then it will get 

toastier and a little louder but everyday use not so much it has to watt speakers with Dolby Atmos branding on board and they're pretty decent they're pretty loud to have some bass for the price they're actually not bad and they're up firing that down firing so that helps a little bit with a

convertible always seen multiple 

positions and all that sort of things but it's always a challenge with convertibles it's always going to be

some position where doesn't sounds good 

the pen is 4096 pressure levels and it's wakame yes technology which is pretty darn good it's not locking me amore it's not professional or it's grade but I like it pretty well it's pretty good palm rejection the diagonal lines there okay a little jittery and all that sort of thing but still you can have some fun doing art on this
