After releasing the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Gen 7, Lenovo has also decided to release the IdeaPad Flex 5 Gen 7 AMD variant this month as well.

Similarly to its Flex 5i sibling, the Flex 5 AMD also comes in two screen sizes for buyers to choose from: a 14-inch display and a 16-inch display. Both screen sizes have the more refined 16:10 aspect ratio that is common to all the 2022 laptop releases we’ve seen so far. 

The main difference here is the processors under the hood, whereas the Flex 5i opts for Intel’s 12th Gen Alder processors, the 2022 refresh of the IdeaPad Flex 5 Gen 7 AMD variant opts for the AMD Ryzen 3 5300U, Ryzen 5 5500U and Ryzen 7 5700U CPUs instead. 

However, these Ryzen 5000 CPUs are the same that we have seen on the IdeaPad Flex 5 Gen 5 AMD variant last year, which is quite odd considering AMD launched its Ryzen 6000 Mobile series for 2022 back in January. It may be due to the ongoing chip shortage which influenced Lenovo into wanting to cut manufacturing costs by using last year’s processors and as the newer processors are probably costlier and may increase the lineup’s price tag by a significant margin.

The biggest upgrade from Gen 5 to Gen 7 is the screen. The IdeaPad Flex 5 AMD Gen 7 now features a 16:10 IPS Touchscreen LCD, compared to the 16:9 dimly lit TN Panel on last year’s Gen 5. The screen comes in several resolution and brightness options which are as follows:

• 16-inch 2.5K resolution, 400 nits brightness, 60Hz refresh rate, 100% sRGB coverage
• 16-inch Full HD resolution, 300 nits brightness, 60Hz refresh rate, 45% NTSC coverage
• 14-inch 2.2K resolution, 300 nits brightness, 60Hz refresh rate, 100% sRGB coverage
• 14-inch Full HD resolution, 300 nits brightness, 60Hz refresh rate, 45% NTSC coverage

The device is configurable with up to 16GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 1TB of PCIe SSD storage. Lenovo claims the IdeaPad Flex 5 AMD Gen 7 can deliver up to 12 hours of video playback under a full charge.

Ports and connectivity wise, the IdeaPad Flex 5 AMD Gen 7 is equipped with 1 USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port, 2 USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, one HDMI 1.4b port, a 4-in-1 SD card reader, a 3.5mm headphone jack, WiFi 6 support and Bluetooth 5.1 support.

The landing pages of the 14-inch and 16-inch Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 AMD Gen 7 have gone live. The laptops are expected to go on sale in Q2 2022 in selected markets in Europe, North America, Asia and Oceania.
