My review is based on the exact item as listed at Costco...

Lenovo Flex 5i 14" Touchscreen 2-in-1 Chromebook Laptop - 12th Gen Intel Core i3-1215U - WUXGA - Storm Grey
Item   1724089 ... Model  82T5001RUX

I don't know where the other reviewers found their Chromebook as I am hard pressed to find it ANYWHERE and Lenovo doesn't have much info on it on the web....?!?

I presume a lot of my issues and annoyance can be attributed to the ChromeOS...
But I do have an issue with the battery life. Over six cycles (full charge and discharge) I was only able to get approximately 4 hours of uses for each cycles. The diagnosis software had the battery life all over the place whenever I used it.
Also, the system's colors were off... Everything looks pastel. And you can clearly see something is wrong when you try changing the color of the mouse pointer. Pink looks red, Yellow looks deep orange, Magenta is clearly purple, and Red is orange-ish. Using the "night light" as instructed by Chromebook support pages only cause the screen to have a reddish hue. I REALLY hope Lenovo have a fix for this color problem in a firmware soon.

As I bought my device from Costco I am not afraid of returning it within the next 60 days if I don't hear about a fix for this color problem soon. I am NOT the only one to mention this in a review.
