The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 14API was released on April 7, 2019. This model was an AMD Ryzen-powered 2-in-1 laptop known for its flip design. Major Features, according to the official Lenovo Website include: its powerful, efficient AMD Ryzen™ mobile processor, versatility/functionality with it's multiple modes, digital pen (sold separately) that makes it convenient to draw or write directly onto the screen, a convenient TrueBlock Privacy Shutter, allowing you to physically close the PC's webcam whenever it's not being used, it has up to 10 hours of battery life, and it has the Rapid Charge feature, which enables you to recharge the multimode laptop up to 80% in just one hour.

The Lenovo Flex 14API was last sold as a new product in the retail market around 2020 to 2021. Although the device is still sold on secondhand sites like eBay, retailers like Best Buy showed the product as no longer being available in new condition as of 2021. Lenovo officially ended development support for the product line, meaning it no longer provides software updates. It was replaced by newer models in the Flex series.

The Lenovo Flex 14API was not exclusive to certain countries. Lenovo released it in multiple regions, though specific models and configurations may have varied by country. The laptop was widely sold in North America through major retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, and Newegg.

The intended user group, demographic, or market segment for the Lenovo Flex 14API includes, but is not limited to: students, remote workers and professionals, and everyday home users

The original selling price of the Lenovo Flex 14API varied depending on the specific configuration. For a common version with an AMD Ryzen 5 3500U processor, prices were typically in the $500 to $700 range when it was first released.

The most commonly reported failure modes include problems with the battery and charge port, hinge durability issues, and performance problems often related to outdated software. There have been no specific manufacturer recalls, however.
