That'll be pure black on all four corners and both of the sides, where light bleed is more common. If you're concerned about light bleed, after your initial setup, go to Google Photos, click on any of your backed-up screenshots, and then hit the fullscreen key.

My screen, in particular, had a bit of light bleed in the upper left corner, but Lenovo said it was within tolerance. The 13-14-inch segment is getting more and more crowded, and since most of their screens are only 220-250 nits, that allows higher-brightness screens like the Acer Spin 713 to stand out all the more. Even a bump to 300 or 350 nits would've made it easier to use in brighter offices or outdoors. That was perfectly fine last year, but if Lenovo was going to give us an upgraded processor, I wish they could've given us a brighter screen. The screen here is the same as the last couple of years: a 13.3-inch, 1920x1080 pixel, 250 nits glossy IPS touchscreen.

While it can feel slightly mushy to those of you who've been spoiled by mechanical keyboards while working at home (like me), I've spent weeks typing on mine and find it quite comfortable. The keyboard is evenly backlit, comfortable to type on for long periods of time, and it has a good spring to the keys.

Unless you spend lots of time in Linux or you're an absolute tab-hoarder like my dad, who keeps over a hundred tabs open on a regular basis, both the 10th Gen Intel Core i3 and 11th Gen are capable processors, especially given that Chrome OS is written to run on more modest hardware. It upgrades from 10th Gen Intel processors to 11th Gen Intel processors, but honestly, you'll barely tell the difference in your day-to-day use of Chrome OS. Lenovo kept the same weight and dimensions as last year's Flex 5, as well as the same connectivity, up-facing speakers, and general performance.
