A more premium simple laptop
This affordable touchscreen convertible laptop comes with solid performance and good battery life encased in a design that features some premium elements you would usually see in higher-end laptops. With all that said, a few things I didn't like, such as its heavier than other 14" ultrabooks and the speakers volume at max could be louder for my taste, plus there is no upgrading, the ram in the future since it's soldered on. Form-factor: The first impression I got was that it is well-built and sturdy with no flex anywhere. The hinges connected to the screen are rock solid, something you see more on the premium laptops with the fruit logo. The top of the laptop is made of metal, which gives the laptop a very premium feel and appearance with the keyboard base being made of plastic. For a 14-inch convertible that's 3.31 pounds is bit heavier than I'm used to. Keyboard and touchpad: Typing on this keyboard is overall a good experience. Lenovo is well known for making excellent keyboards for its laptops and it shows here. It has a good layout that is fairly comfortable with good keystroke feedback. The touchpad surface is smooth enough for my fingers to glide across it with ease, gestures, double-clicking resister just fine, which is delightful for me since many other affordable laptops suffer from a bad keyboard and/or touchpad. Display and audio: The display is 16:10 aspect ratio with WUXGA resolution (1920x1200) is plenty sharp for a display and has good viewing angles. The screen colors accuracy is not the best 42% coverage of NTSC, but because of what I use this laptop for, this is not a dealbreaker for me. The touch screen is good and responsive. The speakers are mediocre, and my phone can get louder than this laptop. Webcam is a Full HD (1080p) video camera that actually looks pretty good but does not have Windows Hello sign in feature (instead, it uses a fingerprint biometric which works very well btw). Battery life and performance: The new 13th-generation Intel Core processors is better when it comes to battery life as I got over 7 hours most of the time. This Core i5 laptop can nearly match the performance of a high-end 12th-generation Core i7 also, so it is a very speedy experience even while multitasking with 10 tabs open in the browser. Another example of this is that I encoded a 30-minute video that only took 12 minutes to encode. If you value performance more than the gripes mentioned, then the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i is an excellent choice for basic tasks that is both reliable and durable for long-term ownership. Sidenote: Linux distros works out the box with this device except for the fingerprint reader.

Lenovo Flex the best
The best of the best. Its 2-in-1 convertible design makes it versatile to use as a traditional laptop or as a tablet. The hinges are firm and allow a full 360° rotation, keeping the screen in a stable position in any mode. Good colors and clarity. The battery has a decent performance, reaching between 7 and 9 hours with moderate use. This is enough for a day of work. It is an excellent option. Highly recommended.
