FLEX 2 Packs More Flexibility and Features into
Affordable Devices
- New optional full high definition
screens and discrete graphics for “life-like” content
experience
- Affordable “convertible-like” PC with
two unique modes: Laptop and Stand
Lenovo (SEHK:0992) (Pink Sheets:LNVGY) today introduced two new
additions to its FLEX family of dual mode laptops with the new FLEX
2 laptops available in 14 and 15.6-in models. Not only do the
laptops give users 300° flexibility with two great modes, Laptop
and Stand, they improve upon the original models in compelling new
ways with an enhanced visual experience offering full HD screen and
discrete graphics models.
Shaping Higher Performance
Available in either a 14 or 15.6-in screen, the laptops take
Lenovo’s family of dual mode devices to the next level with new
design and performance features. The black or silver1 FLEX 2
laptops catch attention for their 300° rotation and their optional
backlit keyboard, which finishes the look on this beautiful
device.
Inside the laptop, consumers will love the eye-popping visuals
with a noticeably brighter full HD 1920X1080 widescreen display on
select models. Users can choose NVIDIA GeForce graphics on models
with up to 4th generation Intel Core i7 processors for a rich
entertainment experience, making images in games and videos display
quickly and smoothly. Or they can opt for models with dynamic AMD
Radeon™ R5 M230 discrete graphics and AMD APU processors all the
way up to AMD A8 models2 with on-chip Radeon graphics.
Equipped with Dolby Advanced Audio v2 technology, the FLEX 2
laptops make sound from movies, games and music come across its
stereo speakers louder with greater clarity, consistent tone and
less distortion. And for users who like to video chat, the laptops
come with an optional dual array digital microphone for truer to
life calls when using the 720p HD webcam.
The FLEX 2 further provides an overall better user experience
over its predecessor thanks to several advancements for processing,
storage and memory. For fast and efficient operations, the FLEX 2
laptops offer choices of the latest Intel and AMD processors, come
with a range of three storage options - up to 1 TB of HD or hybrid
SSHD storage or up to 256 GB SSD storage - and long battery
life.
Two Modes in One Machine
Starting at just $429, the laptops give users one of the most
affordable “convertible-like” PCs, with two unique modes in one
machine. Users can enjoy the benefits of a Windows 8.1
touch-centric experience in both modes via the 10-finger multitouch
screen.
FLEX 2 works great in its traditional clamshell laptop mode for
productivity tasks with its comfortable keyboard with its stylish
and functional one piece multitouch touchpad with an optional cool
metal palmrest. Then simply flip the keyboard underneath the screen
300° to transition into Stand mode for a different way to watch
movies and riveting digital content up close.

“The new FLEX 2 gives consumers two great devices – a
full-function, multitouch laptop and a second, Stand mode – in one
machine all at an extremely affordable price,” said Dilip Bhatia,
vice president, worldwide marketing and design, PC Group, Lenovo.

latest processing technologies make it even more suited to helping
express and manage consumer’s digital lives.”
