Reviews
editWriting for NDTV, Jamshed Avari wrote, "As it stands, the Lenovo Flex 10 is a fascinating product but not one we can see a strong target market for. It seems like just another Lenovo form-factor experiment. Pick it up if you love the looks and don't think a tablet would suit your needs..."[3]
A review in the Hindustan Times stated, "The Flex 10 is a device for those who like the feel of a traditional keyboard as well as the thrill of a touchscreen. Thanks to its compact design, it can be carried around easily. However, owing to its low configuration, you will not be able to use resource-hogging software like Photoshop. The notebook is perfect for browsing, responding to mails, making presentations, doing some typing, playing games and watching movies while travelling."[4]
