The IdeaPad 5i 2-in-1 is a convertible laptop with a 16-inch touchscreen that allows it to rotate or fold into tablet mode. It offers a clean, modern design geared toward versatility: for users who want both the productivity of a laptop and the flexibility of a tablet. The use of a 2-in-1 hinge means you can switch between typing, presenting, sketching, or content consumption more comfortably.

Under the hood, it runs on an Intel Core i5-120U processor, which is a power-efficient model suitable for general productivity, web tasks, streaming, and everyday apps. The configuration includes 16 gigabytes of RAM, which helps with smoother multitasking and better handling of more demanding applications than lower-RAM versions. The storage is a solid-state drive with 512 gigabytes of capacity, giving good space for files, programs, media, and more.

The display is a 16-inch panel with touch capability, giving more screen real estate than typical 13- or 14-inch laptops, which can be helpful for multitasking, side-by-side windows, or creative work. As a 2-in-1, the touchscreen adds interactivity, enabling pen input or touch gestures if supported. It runs Windows 11, which includes modern features and support for touch and pen inputs.

In terms of trade-offs, while the bigger screen and 2-in-1 form factor are advantages, they can also mean more weight and reduced portability compared to lighter ultrabooks. Also, though the i5-120U is efficient, it won’t match high-end CPUs for heavy video editing, 3D rendering, or gaming. Lastly, screen quality, battery life, and thermal performance in thin convertibles often depend heavily on design choices, so these are worth checking via reviews or hands-on testing if possible.
