Is the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i any good?

I decided to get a convertible (2 in 1) laptop with a touchscreen and came across the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i. Since I can't afford a 1000 euro laptop (700 euro is already too much) the choice is rather limited. However, I have heard that there are problems with the battery because it does not last 10 hours, as stated by Lenovo, but only about 5. Do you have any experience? I would use the laptop at school and I have been there for a good 8 hours. I have also heard problems with the Lenovo Active Pen 2, that it does not react well and the 2 buttons on the side do not always react. But I still heard a lot of good things about him and therefore wanted to ask if you have already had experience with this laptop.

Edit: Could you also charge the laptop with a power bank or is that only possible with a socket?

Good advice: don't get anything from lenovo or samsung, for example, the only true and extremely good tablets are from apple.

I would choose the 2020 air with your budget.

Gu

Thanks, but Apple is rather difficult because I have an S10 and Windows PC, that would only make it difficult to work together

Br

That's true, unfortunately.

Gu

That's OK… But you can only do things that don't need a lot of power! You can forget games with something like that!

Gu

I wouldn't play games on it, but it would be on almost continuously (except during the breaks and the 1 hour break).

The only true and extremely good tablets are from apple.

If you're dependent on Apple's ecosystem, okay.

Otherwise it is rather nonsensical.

Lenovo also produces very good devices with significantly stronger hardware and compatibility for all possible systems for a price that is often much better.

The notebook in question is not one of them.

Gu

He should be able to do that

Ey

The offer is bad / overpriced.

Take a look at the following notebooks for the money:

The hardware is much stronger.

The thing with the battery is always exaggerated by the runtime.

Under realistic conditions / usage it is about 5-6 hours, depending on the workload even only 3-4 hours for a typical notebook.

Someone knows their way around…

Br

Thank you thank you

Ye

Realtalk do you have the ipad pro 2020 and the tab s7plus?

I have both and they are clearly on par.

Samsung scores with multitasking display and the Spen.

Apple with the brute performance.

Br

I only pass on what i have heard from people who know many times more than you do. Eg alexi bexi.

has often compared apple and samsung. And samsung could never convince me, if only by the design

Ye

Ahja alexibexi has tested the tab s7plus🤣

And the design of the tab s7plus in navy blue tops everything.

You shouldn't judge technical devices by their appearance.

Br

Yes he "tested it 🤣"

Ye

No Front But Alexi Bexi only does long term commercials. Especially since he says nothing about the technical data, but only reads through the in-house food. So I would rather have an independent tester.

Br

No, he does have a lot of criticism

Ye

Send me a link from the tab s 7 Plus Review.

Yes, criticism clearly exercised must also appear somehow dubious.

For example, he talks about the exact specs, ie how much power the ram runs, etc.

However, until 2 years ago, apple was the only tablet manufacturer that had good tablets. With the tab s6 and s7, samsung has returned and with great success.
