  • Lenovo today announced two new 2021 Lenovo Chromebooks within its 5i range.
  • The vanilla Lenovo 5i offers a 14-inch clamshell design, while the Flex 5i comes with a 360-degree hinge.
  • Both Chromebooks come with up to an 11th-gen Intel Core i5 processor, touchscreens, and start at $440 with June and July 2021 release windows.

The Chromebook market is filled with tons of budget-oriented options with cheap builds, low-end specs, and simple designs. There are also a good amount of premium models with terrific specs, beautiful designs, and high prices. The mid-range zone, though, is where the real fun stuff lives.
