Pros and Cons

Lenovo IdeaPad 5x 2-in-1

Strengths

The Lenovo IdeaPad 5X feels sleek and lightweight, making it ultra portable at just under £3.
The OLED touchscreen display is incredibly vibrant, with pitch dark blacks and plenty of brightness for indoor and outdoor use.
The Snapdragon X+ processor is fast, efficient, and AI-enhanced, making it ideal for streaming, video conferencing, and using AI tools.
The laptop has up to 20 hours of real-world battery life, nearly double what most Intel or AMD machines offer in this class.
The dual speakers are Dolby enhanced and decent for media and Zoom calls.
The 1080p full HD webcam is crisp and supported by AI features like automatic framing and background blur.
The laptop has a solid selection of ports, including USBC, USBA, a headphone jack, and a micro SD card reader.
Windows Hello face unlock and fingerprint reader make logging in fast and secure.

Weaknesses

Some older apps may not be optimized yet due to the ARM-based system.
The battery life may vary depending on usage and settings.
The speakers are not exactly booming with bass, but they get the job done.
The laptop's design is not particularly unique or attention-grabbing.
The price point for this laptop may be a bit higher than some users are comfortable with.
Some users may find the touchscreen display to be too sensitive or prone to accidental inputs.
The fingerprint reader can be finicky at times, requiring multiple attempts to unlock.
Legacy software compatibility issues may arise due to the ARM-based system.

Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5i

Strengths

It's a great value for you consumers out there who want a two-in-one who want some nice versatile features like that Bluetooth keyboard.
I really like this device. I think it's more than fast enough for your average person. I think it's great for a lot of office work out there and I think it even has enough power to do a little more intense stuff.
The performance at least with the I3 model is very good for your money and if you compare it out there even with the 11th gen I5 model this will outperform it or it will go neck and neck with that service for a weight that has an i5 11 Shin processor.
This does not have a deal breaker. The Surface Pro lineup is great but this goes neck and neck. I think it does very very well.
It's terrific for students who just need to do a lot of office work, it has plenty of storage for stuff like that and you could always plug in an external SSD if you need a little bit of extra storage
The 2.5K display is terrific!
This will outperform the 11th gen I5 model service

Weaknesses

Graphics capabilities aren't terrific on it.
Storage is a little bit limiting if you do get the 128 gigabyte model.
I think the webcam is not very good
It doesn't have a fingerprint sensor and the webcam and face unlock it are nothing to ride home about
The SSD is not super easy to take out, so that's one thing that's a little difficult
It could use a 120Hz screen.
Only available in lower specs in the US
