Best Buy is now offering the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook Plus for $349 shipped. This is a regularly $499 machine now seeing a sizable $150 price drop. Today’s deal lands at $40 under our April mention and delivers the second-best price we have tracked, and that was back in March at just $20 less. The IdeaPad Flex 5i is one of Lenovo’s latest entries into the Chrome OS world, and it has been upgraded with a better overall build quality and touchpad. That’s alongside Google’s new Chromebook Plus seal of approval with enhanced minimum specs and improved AI features as detailed right here.
The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i features a 14-inch 2K touchscreen display with an Intel I3 processor and 8GB of memory powering the operation. The folding design is another interesting aspect of the experience here was well, allowing users to convert the machine from laptop mode into more of a tablet like vibe as well.
And for a closer look at how the new Chromebook Plus specs stacks up, some of the models we went hands-on with at launch will give you a good idea of what to expect here.
But if you would, rather just stick with a full-on Android tablet, the latest deals on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 are a more than notable place to start while configurations are up to $250 off. Just don’t expect to find one of those anywhere near the price of the Chromebook up top.
