Lenovo wants this to be called as the “Fashionable Student’s Best Bud in the Campus” — the younger brother of the high end series Yoga, the Flex 14 really looks good. I went around Glorietta mall yesterday and saw demo units of Flex 14 and I must say, it looks really nice, and even professionals, mobile warriors, sales personalities will love this dual-mode laptop by Lenovo.
While the Yoga has four different modes – laptop mode, tent mode, tablet mode and display modes, the Flex 14 has only two modes – the regular laptop mode and the stand mode.
Now here are four reasons why students (including hobbyists, bloggers, sales personalities) would love Lenovo Flex 14.
Longer battery life
Any student would attest to the importance of having a longer battery life for his or her laptop. You can’t always rely on coffee shops having available electrical plugs when you need to do your homework during that hour-long lunch time, right?
With up to nine hours of battery life between charges, the Lenovo Flex 14 is pretty much your best bud during those critical moments of crunch time in school. It boasts of the Lenovo Energy Management system, which protects the long-term durability of the battery.
Furthermore, the Lenovo Flex 14 comes with advanced energy-saving technology that allows a user to stretch the nine-hour battery life as much as possible, so you can meet deadlines without having to crash into the crowded Internet shops during rush time.
In portable size, it’s easier to go to class
Any type of students, whether a freshman still getting acquainted with first classes or a senior student dealing with a hellish thesis semester, will surely have experienced running to and from classes while lugging around their trusty laptop.
Wouldn’t it be much more convenient to have one that’s also easy to carry and even lighter on your bag? After all, there are also those textbooks that you still need to worry about. This is where Lenovo Flex 14 outshines its competitors, as it gives you the thin and light specs of less than an inch thick and less than 5 pounds in weight—without doubling or tripling your budget.
A laptop and a tablet (that stands!), all in one
Flexibility in terms of what you’re using in class is one of the advantages of getting the latest device as your “best bud” in school. This is why phablets and large-screen tablets are now becoming a fad among students and even professionals alike.
What’s even more convenient is when you can have a laptop that can switch into a tablet that has its own stand—perfect for those lectures in class when you just want to go on touch screen mode on your device.
The Lenovo Flex 14 has this unique capability that lets your notebook double as a laptop and a tablet-like device on a stand. Those who need the convenience of a physical keyboard for typing a lot of notes can use the Lenovo Flex 14 as a laptop, but if you prefer simply browsing through your notes during exam week in the library, you can easily switch to Stand Mode. No need to transfer your files!
Work and play hard
Of course, laptops for college students don’t only mean notes, projects, and presentations. After all, all work and no play can make any student a dull one, right?
It features Stereo Speakers with Dolby Advanced Audio for an immersive audio experience and quality with reduced distortions and it features a 14-inch 10-point multi-touch display optimized for Windows 8—perfect for viewing videos or going on artistic mode on Photoshop for the more creatively gifted students.
