Last month, we saw a substantial price drop for the Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5i, and not only are those prices back (basically), but there’s an upgraded model on offer from Amazon (and possibly other retailers by the time you read this) right now that is absolutely worth the money if you can spring for it.
At the moment, 3 models of the Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5i are out there to buy, and they will definitely offer differing levels of performance. The cheapest still available comes with the Pentium 7505 processor, 4GB of RAM and only 32GB of storage, and is available at Best Buy for $219. If the bottom line is a low price, this is the one to go for. You still get a backlit keyboard, an IPS touchscreen, USI pen support and a solid build quality.
The next step up is the Core i3 model (11th-gen) with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. That boost in processor and RAM will make this Chromebook a far better performer than the Pentium model, and the added storage will obviously be worth the money. Currently, it is $299 at Amazon and for this Chromebook, that is a fantastic price. We’ve seen it dip to $269 once before, but I don’t see that sort of price returning anytime soon.
Finally, also on Amazon, we have the model with the same Core i3 processor and 8GB of RAM, but upgraded to a whopping 256GB of storage. While that extra room won’t give you any speed boost, the feeling of having ample storage headroom is always welcome if you ask me. And when that feeling can be bought for only $30 more, I’d always lean towards going for it. At $329, this device with this amount of storage is a no-brainer.
