The Lenovo IdeaPad 5i 2-in-1 is a 16-inch convertible PC that should have a lower MSRP. If you catch it on sale, you can score a casual 2-in-1 experience for a normal clamshell laptop price. But professionals looking for a serious drawing or note-taking experience should look elsewhere.

Pros

  • Good CPU for the price
  • Decent value on sale
  • A 2-in-1 at a normal laptop price (but only on sale)

Cons

  • Too expensive at MSRP
  • Display is dim and glossy
  • Heavy and thick
  • Speakers positioned wrong for 2-in-1 mode
  • Pen costs extra
