i have a old lenovo ,hinge is still fine~~~~~ 6 year old now, and laptop is still working, 0 repairs, i bought a new laptop tho cuz outdated specs

My mom has one of these, she got it in 2019. Had to get the hinges replaced recently. I would definitely avoid.

3 year no hinge issue just open from middle, light weight and long battery life. Performance is good for daily use 

Asus X16 Flow. 2in1 with a high CPU and attached dedicated GPU.

You start with a low end model and move your way up using high GPUs based on their proprietary eGPU setups. This is a QHD based laptop with either a radeon 680M iGPU or Nvidia 3050s to 3070Ti.

And I would not share my laptop with others.

Damn no fingerprint scanner, (thought they were going to do that since it was on X13 flow).

Not a huge fan of the 2-in-1s. However, I have owned both those models haha. In my opinion, the Lenovo Yoga is way more reliable and better built overall. I bought my wife a Dell XPS for Xmas last year and she loves it, but it occasionally has random lines that appear on the screen at random times. It’s usually only occurs for a second. Overall the Dell XPS works great other than the random screen issue.

Doesnt Lenovo offer the benefit of the touch screen with pen. That could be important for note taking

Samsung galaxy pro 360 is what I have personally.Its not a true tablet 2in1 but I like it. If I had the money to blow, a surface pro is what I’d get.

Im going with the surface pro plus. Big battery life potentially, plus whats considered a great pen. 

Dell XPS 2-in-1

Lenovo Yoga 2-in-1s are all around great machines for the price point. Not the best in any one area, but no serious flaws in any area either. HP Envy is also worth a look. I'd pass on the Dell Inspirons.

aye thatll be good, especially the 8000 series ryzens

Hi there,

I've got the Lenovo Flex 5i (Intel version)

It is equipped similarly to the one in question. The i7 1165G7 is excellent and the SSD (I have the 512GB variant) is very fast on restart etc. As a college/university student, the laptop is ~1.5kg and is not the lightest to carry around, however, it is extremely handy to be able to annotate and rotate the touch screen 360^(o) to copy notes etc. I would have purchased the Ryzen alternative, however, they were not in stock. The Ryzen 5 4500U is an excellent CPU which has even better battery life than the i7 in my Flex 14'. The Ryzen should be better than the i5 from the Lenovo Yoga model listed.

The 14 inch size is perfect as it fits well in my backpack, the build quality is superior to most 2 in 1's on the market and I am very happy with my purchase. However, annotating is not as good as my iPad (writing feels less natural) however the stylus is of high quality and does allow you to use it to annotate documents/workbooks etc. The touchpad isn't as fluid as most glass touchpads, however, the overall package is solid. I would personally go for the 16GB Flex 5 as the extra ram is always great when running multiple programs/intensive software (i.e CAD). Battery life isn't anything to write home about. Can last my whole day with low power settings/brightness etc. (Ryzen models will be better in this area).

Graphite grey is an excellent colour in my opinion - the flex 5 is a good looking, versatile and fast laptop.

You should try to get the correct model numbers. They have variants which will differ between one another. The Flex 5, for example, can be equipped with a below average TN panel at 220 nits (I wouldn't consider it) and a passable IPS panel at 250 nits; which is still quite low in brightness considering how reflective the screen is. The advantage is the 16GB of RAM, the seemingly better processor and possibly portability (depending on your preferences).

The Yoga 7i is generally a better machine (2 tiers above the Flex 5) that has better build quality, larger battery, much better port selection and a better screen both in terms of color accuracy and brightness (still a bit low at 300 nits but definitely a step up). If its an 11th gen Intel, you would lose a bit in CPU performance while gaining in iGPU performance; if it's 10th gen Intel then it's a fairly worse processor wrt the 4500U. Still more than adequate for office work.

It's biggest shortcoming is the 8GB of RAM, which may still be enough for you; it depends on your workflow.

One other question: I am looking for a 14" laptop ideally because I'll be carrying it around all day, but for the Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1, it is only available with 512GB if I want the 14". Is it worth investing in the extra storage? I've heard that 256GB is plenty, but I'd appreciate any feedback.

2 in 1 laptop is basically shit laptop and shit tablet, never go with those gadgets..

I wouldn't pick a 2 in 1 laptop. Instead I'd get an average laptop and ipad air

Depends on your needs, the extra screen may be useful but when you are limited on weight and volume consolidation into a single device may be a better deal.

It will depend on the use case. I have laptop (previously surface pro 6 and now Zenbook 14) and a galaxy tab s7. I rarely bring them both when I'm out of the office. I f I need substantial work done when I'm out, I bring my laptop and leave the tablet at home. But if I only need to just check email and review some documents when I'm out of the office, I just bring the tab s7.

A 2 in one user here. Don't go for 2 in 1. Instead get a mid tier laptop and a mid tier tab

Its the worst laptop ever

i have the 14" its fine, battery life is good, build quality is like any other laptop in that pricerange.

I’ve got the ideapad gaming 3, for a budget machine it’s really good overall. Only thing that lets it down is battery life. I won’t commit to doing anything away from a charger for more than an hour or two because it probably won’t make it through. It’s basically a really portable desktop for me at this point. Which is ideal for my use case, but I understand it’s not for everyone.

Beware of the hinge. It has a hinge problem, used it very carefully since purchasing it and after a few months the hinge just popped out. Now it needs to be repaired, sigh. 

Lenovos do not have great battery life in my experience with them. I use a Lenovo everyday and manage a computer network with many on it. All of the batteries in everyone of them needed replacing.

Dont have a suggestion for you, but..

I am looking for a 2 in 1 laptop

anti-glare screen is a must

arent these 2 requirements conflicting with each other? If it's a 2 in 1 therefore touchscreen, it's going to have a glass panel by default afaik, so it wouldn't be anti-glare

Lenovo yoga slim 7 amd cpu 7840s

You're not going to find all of those. 15-16 inch matte screen with a num pad is doable. 2 in 1s will be glossy and max out at 14in. Also no num pad.
