Lenovo Flex 5G review: The first 5G laptop offers crazy battery life, as well as compromises

The Lenovo Flex 5G is the first laptop capable of tapping into 5G networks—Verizon’s, in this case—and unleashing cellular download speeds that will leave your Wi-Fi router in the dust. Even better, the Flex 5G’s battery will last you all day, and then some.

The Flex’s crazy battery life comes at a price, though.

We were less than impressed with the Flex 5G’s shallow keyboard.
