Lenovo today unveiled a number of Chromebooks as part of the MWC 2022 event, two of which are the IdeaPad Flex 5i and the IdeaPad Flex 3i. Both are aimed at consumers who want feature-rich laptops without being weighed down.

The IdeaPad 5i and IdeaPad 3i have 14-inch and 15-inch displays respectively with an FHD resolution and a peak brightness of 400 nits. Both come in a convertible, 2-in-1 form-factor, complete with stylus support, opening up a wide range of usage scenarios.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook is powered by up to 12th Gen Intel processors and has a 14-inch FHD IPS touchscreen display in a 16:10 aspect ratio. It features multiple privacy features such as an optional fingerprint reader and a physical camera shutter that protects its 1080p webcam.

The laptop’s 360-degree hinge can also help lift the keyboard a bit for a more optimal typing experience. Its dual front-firing speakers are tuned by MaxxAudio. Battery life shouldn’t be a problem as Lenovo promises up to 11 hours of usage on a full charge.

The IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook will retail starting at $499 and launch in June. Color options are two, namely Storm Grey and Stone Blue.

The IdeaPad Flex 3i is the more affordable of the duo, just as its name implies, but actually has a larger FHD IPS touchscreen 15.6-inch display. Audio is handled by front-facing speakers tuned by MaxxAudio. A bunch of I/O ports are present too for enhanced interfacing.

Under the hood, you get the Intel Pentium Silver N6000 processor. The laptop is 18.94mm thin and weighs 1.91kg. It also gets a numpad and a larger touchpad, which Lenovo claims will allow a user to select and edit files more efficiently.

The IdeaPad Flex 3i will sell in Abyss Blue and Arctic Grey colors and will be available in May, starting at $399.
