I am digging the intro/outro music we found. It's based on "Glitterhater" by the Computer Music All-Stars, freemusicarchive.org/music/C… and we will be using it under the Creative Commons CC-BY 4.0 license. It slaps by itself, I just added filters/fades/cuts.

The Lenovo Flex 5 Chromebook is a disruption device that delivers a high-end experience on a lower-than-expected budget. Other Chromebook makers have officially been put on notice. [VIDEO] chromeunboxed.com/lenovo-fle…
