The <\/span><b>rotating hinge<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> allows for a <\/span><b>quick conversion into a tablet<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and the <\/span><b>removable battery<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ensures <\/span><b>continuous use<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> during charging. However, the <\/span><b>port layout<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, including the <\/span><b>microUSB<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, may feel a little <\/span><b>dated<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> compared with current standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Responsive keyboard and full connectivity<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The keyboard on the IdeaPad 5x 2-in-1 is designed to offer a <\/span><b>comfortable<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> typing experience, with suitable key spacing and a <\/span><b>precise key travel<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, the plastic <\/span><b>touchpad<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> lacks <\/span><b>responsiveness<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> compared with more modern glass surfaces. In terms of <\/span><b>connectivity<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the laptop stands out thanks to <\/span><b>two USB-C ports<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>two USB-A ports<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, an <\/span><b>HDMI 2.1<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> output and a <\/span><b>microSD card reader<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a more than satisfactory setup for a device at this price.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding: 80% 0 0 0; position: relative;\"><iframe style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1114771907?autoplay=1&amp;loop=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Display: high image quality but limited outdoors<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>14-inch OLED display<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (1920&#215;1200 resolution) impresses with its <\/span><b>colour reproduction<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (99.6% DCI-P3) and <\/span><b>perfect calibration<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, the <\/span><b>brightness<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is on the low side, with <\/span><b>368 cd\/m\u00b2<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> making it difficult to use outdoors. The <\/span><b>glossy finish<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> emphasises this limitation, but for indoor use the <\/span><b>screen<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> offers <\/span><b>pleasing image quality<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and a <\/span><b>16:10 aspect ratio<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that is optimised for multitasking.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Performance and battery life: a balance of efficiency and limits<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>Snapdragon X Plus<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> combined with <\/span><b>16 GB of RAM<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> allows the IdeaPad 5x 2-in-1 to handle office work and multimedia tasks without difficulty. Battery life can reach <\/span><b>18\u201319 hours<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in office use, which is well above average. However, <\/span><b>performance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in multitasking and <\/span><b>graphics<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is limited compared with more high-end devices. Tests in <\/span><b>Cinebench 2024<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>Steel Nomad Light<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> confirm this, but the scores remain <\/span><b>good enough<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for light everyday use.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Audio quality and webcam: room for improvement<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>1080p webcam<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is nothing special, lacking <\/span><b>dynamic range<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which makes video calls feel less smooth. The <\/span><b>speakers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are also underwhelming, producing <\/span><b>weak<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, slightly <\/span><b>muffled<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> sound. A <\/span><b>Bluetooth headset<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> therefore becomes essential for <\/span><b>optimal listening<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion: a versatile but somewhat limited alternative<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>Lenovo IdeaPad 5x 2-in-1<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is attractive thanks to its <\/span><b>design<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>versatility<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at a reasonable price.
