All of these CPUs can handle the basic day-to-day tasks like web browsing, Office document editing, or multimedia playback, but if you want to avoid occasional slowdowns, getting a Pentium-equipped configuration with 4GB of RAM is recommended. They are all basic chips, with Pentium offering noticeably better performance than the Celerons. The 3-pound Lenovo Flex 11 with a 0.9″ thick profile comes with either the Intel Celeron N2840, Celeron N2940, or Pentium N3540 processor, paired with 2GB or 4GB of system memory. Specs-wise, the Flex is closer to the HP X360 11, Dell Inspiron 3147 and Toshiba Radius 11 convertibles. With its form factor and functionality, the Lenovo Flex 3 11.6″ is a lower-end replacement for the pricier Lenovo Yoga 3 11, which sports a faster Intel Core M CPU, 1080p display resolution instead of 1366×768, faster solid state drive instead of Flex’ hard drive or eMMC storage, and other benefits. It is priced accordingly, starting at only $300.

Therefore, it is a budget-class mini-laptop with ability to fully flip the screen and transform itself to a tablet or a multimedia stand. Besides much smaller footprint and weight, the Flex 3 11.6″ uses the entry-level Intel Celeron and Pentium “Bay Trail” processors, instead of the full-blown Intel Core series. The Lenovo Flex 3 11.6-inch convertible 2-in-1 touchscreen laptop takes design cues from the Flex 3 15″ and 14″ convertibles, but it belongs to an entirely different notebook category.
