Explanation:
Yo optaría por una reformulación, algo más o menos así: "...que la hace más sólida y resistente y evita que se doble..." porque si lo traducimos literalmente por algo como "reduciendo la flexibilidad2 o "el riesgo de que se doble" queda una redacción poco fluida.

Gracias por la sugerencia. Reformulé la oración como me sugeriste. Ninguna de las alternativas a FLEX era aceptable: "El ThinkPad Dock viene ahora con una bandeja o base de extensión, que brinda una robustez adicional y le proporciona una mayor estabilidad a su ThinkPad."

cable


Explanation:
See Collins Spanish Dictionary 4th edition p.1088

Flex = cable, flexible, cordon, etc.

Check the context to see if what is meant is some cord running from one part to another.
