Don't fret about your wired headphones though, the 3.5mm headphone jack will let you plug right in.

You'll find Wifi 5 inside the laptop, which is the previous generation. However, this does not mean its necessarily a major disadvantage. Wifi 5 is more than capable for the majority of the users, with only top tier users really requiring Wifi 6 at the moment.

The power supply for the Lenovo 14" IdeaPad Flex 5 is a 65 W with Barrel so if you're concerned about power usage, make sure this fits within your requirements.
