Forget 5G phones: Lenovo is officially kicking off the 5G laptop race with the Flex 5G, which will be released on June 18th for $1,399.99 as a Verizon exclusive (at least in the United States) as the world’s first 5G laptop.
Announced back at CES 2020 (under the name “Yoga 5G,” which will still be used in some markets), the Flex 5G is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8cx processor, making it one of the first laptops available with Qualcomm’s latest laptop chipset. Lenovo says that the 8cx will lead to big battery life gains, promising up to 24 hours of use off a single charge (although we’ll have to wait and see how that holds up in the real world).
