I bought the Lenovo Flex 2 15D (15.8 inches) a month ago and thought it was time to evaluate him time after extensive use and describe:
Style:
Very simple, minimalist design, which still looks high. However, the Black has smaller glittering elements in the plastic thing that strikes at close viewing and a little surprised. From afar, however, not to notice. This material is just on the lid and the Bode, so bearable, black remains black. The plastic in the keyboard is very high and fluted, causing a dull and sophisticated look.
The keyboard is (as usual by Lenovo) in AccuType layout and can be wonderfully liquid even when writing fast and long texts use, without yielding unpleasant.
The fan is very quiet and pleasant, as well as in long-term use no heat is generated or the unit is hot even close. Likewise, the hard drive, it is very quiet and very peaceful.
The battery is not removable, which possibly could lead to further cost or expense in a few years of use.
One should, etc. when buying a shell Make sure that he has both the top and bottom rope feet that are naturally useful if you turn the device, but then need correspondingly more space here and there a few millimeters.
Screen:
The touch functions, without the need to adjust something intuitively and accurately. So it makes a lot of fun to work with and just to use the apps. So not only gets Windows 8 makes sense, but of course the folding function. Some Windows applications recognize when you tend to screen and be adapted for touch operation.
However, here lies a major shortcoming: who examined more closely in the Internet, is to look for detailed information and comparisons. The screen is indeed HD and bright, but colors are sometimes not as good and intense presented as comparable notebooks in the price range. One can of course something calibrate the settings, etc. Nevertheless, the screen far from reaching the color joy of others (including models of Lenovo). Everything seemed a bit pale, as if someone had added a transparent white filter over it.
To work and watch movies, it does not bother, because you quickly get used to it and it's not too crass, but The difference in everyday life in addition to other notebooks can be seen. Here you should therefore either advance look at the device in the store or similar to the expensive variant yoga grab, if you put as much emphasis on.
Power:
My version (8GB RAM, 1TB SSHD, AMD A8) is more than powerful enough for use in the study / office and also to watch movies and to use multimedia applications. Even Photoshop, CAD, Office 2013, and other programs run without Einwende and start very quickly. The apps are useful in some places and prepare fun to use, mostly run smoothly and without problems, the rest is Windows 8 into debt. It starts within 20 seconds until full use.
The battery lasts a good 4-5 hours during normal daily use and is charged again quite quickly.
Macken:
Until now determine, at me: First, blue screens because of errors that were out on back that the RAM or the graphics card got too little power. However, this was only 3 times in total the event, and is likely to provide Windows than on the device selbt.
Furthermore, there have been no incidents. I have the latest updates installed and then updated the video card driver, and so far gehbt no further incident. I hope it stays that way, or with Windows 10 is an improvement of the Little Schnitzer.
