Lenovo’s Flex 20 Dual-Mode Desktop Review

The Flex 20 has a surprisingly low 1,600 x 900 resolution, but it's also got plenty of power, available in configurations with up to an Intel Core i7 processor, 8GB of RAM and a 500GB HDD or SSD, depending on which version you buy.

As the name indicates, and like many of Lenovo’s recent products, the Flex 20 can be used in multiple positions. It normally functions as a compact all-in-one touchscreen PC with a standard landscape display and a fold-out stand which makes it easy to adjust to whatever viewing angle you require.

Fold it down flat, though, and you can use it as a giant touchscreen tablet, ideal for keeping the kids busy. Lenovo provides its own Aura interface, a suite of apps and games that provide a family-friendly selection of touchscreen optimized entertainment, including many two-user apps.

The Flex 20 has a battery that can keep it working hard for up to three hours, so you can move it and use it anywhere in the house, from watching a film in bed to looking up recipes in the kitchen. It also comes with a wireless keyboard and mouse, two USB3 ports and a headset port.
