[@galvs8176]

This is so incredibly detailed and helpful. Amazed at the quality of this review, thank you!

[@galvs8176]

Do you have a video on the HP Envy x360? Would you happen to know how it compares to the Acer Spin 5? Thanks!

[@Siddharth2021]

Very helpful... love the incredible details provided

[@davidmendes4293]

Great vídeo! U deserve milion views!!! Keep going

[@jayedralin]

Thanks Ben! Very informative and spot-on video for me, as I was weighing between the Lenovo Flex 5 and the Acer Spin 5! I can't find the shopping links that will have you earn some commission on purchases though. Note fellow KZbinr 'Techno Panda' has them on his videos.

[@uneyism]

Hey Ben, awesome video, Can you do a comparison between 4500u 2 in one like Envy x360 with the Acer spin 5, because I think both cost almost the same so they are more of direct competitors

[@vectorgaming3458]

Hey Ben ! I love all the vidoes u make, the way u speak, etc... Ben, since two days i have been facing a problems in my new laptop. The audio drivers in my new laptop got auto-disabled. They are not working. Even, the trackpad of the laptop stopped working all of a sudden. Please do help me come out of this problem as soon as possible... ! Awaiting for your opinion !

[@noelmed5818]

[@thesnoozebutton2568]

I was looking at the Acer spin 713. Have you seen anything on how that one is compared to.the spin 5? Thank you

[@YPWildlife]

Hey Ben, I do alot of photoshop/lightroom editing, I really liked that Acer spin 5, but I was wondering, as someone who is using mostly Adobe rgb, how much will it affect me having only 79%? Will it be noticeable?

[@MrSurazal]

I didn't notice the Boot up/Cold Boot time anywhere in your review. Did I miss it? Thanks

[@unbroken1010]

Anyone have any experience with the VivoBook have they tried any basic photo editing or video editing on it I'd like to hear some opinions if you don't mind

[@lavemrai6880]

Can you please compare the Ryzen 7 version of flex 5 with the spin 5

[@hannankhashir6375]

Is acer spin 5 worth for premiere , designing , illustrator etc ?

[@oceanview418]

Can the Acer Spin 5 run Z-Brush smoothly?

[@priyankadeb189]

well for us the newbie video editors, id love to see something been said on filmora X too, :D, great content though!

hi, i just finish a basic graphic design course and I want to buy new 2 in 1 laptop for my full program course but i dont know what of the laptops to choose... we will learn on illustrator, photoshop, Ui/Ux soo can u help me

[@aik64g]

Love your videos Ben😊

[@BenGKaiser]

Thanks so much!

[@THEAMAZINGSINGH]

Again a GREAT VIDEO Same question - Do RYZEN processors have less life then INTEL processors? What are your recommendation from HP or DELL (1000dollar bugdet) for beginner video editor who is going to learn editing for the first time on laptop (davinci resolve free version). For 1080p to rare 4k footage editing.

[@tomwooldridge6926]

It's hard to say as the ryzen 4000's are still quite new and a lot has changed since the 3000. However, it looks promising for AMD if we take into account the stress and heat the CPU's put themselves under, they are better CPU's on every level so far!

[@23782263TBDM]

Awesome video! what about the Asus vivobook flip 14? or the HP envy?

[@kimberlysaunders2735]

Why didn’t you use both intel models? Lenovo has an flex 5 i7, 16gb, 512gb. Picked one of those up for $950.

[@mistrotech8894]

What I'm mainly worried about on the Lenovo flex 5 is the pen. If AAAA batteries eventually become rarer, it might be hard to switch the battery, to the point where I prefer a rechargable pen. Do other rechargable pen options fit in the pen holder on this device? Are there rechargable pen options?

[@Lights480]

what if the rechargeable battery inside dies?

[@dhwanidodia8713]

hey ben, thanks for this video so i am a graphic designer, and also wanna do some basic animation and some super light video editing, so my final options are, the modern 15, it's a really good option but i don't see a lot of reviews on it, so i am having trouble finalizing it, i am so glad you are reviewing budget laptops and solving real life problems! the asus zenbook 14 2019 one, core i7, 16gb ram, 1tb ssd, i am very inclined towards it but it doesn't have a dedicated graphic card other one is asus duo 14, but in core i5 and lastly, if these three aren't worth the deal then i might chuck the thin and light laptop, and get a gaming laptop for a better performance what do you think i should do? also, your videos have been extremely helpful in this process of buying a laptop, i wish i could use the affiliated links but i stay in india so can't :( but thank you so much :)

[@BenGKaiser]

If you are doing light video editing then the ZenBook 14 would work well with the ZenBook 14. However if you are doing animation in after Effects this laptop will struggle as After Effects really like a dedicated GPU. I will be reviewing the Modern 15 in the next week or two. So if you can hold out I will be posting that in a bit.

[@dhwanidodia8713]

Yes, waiting for your review, thank you :)

[@kirsteyg.723]

Great review! Been torn between spin 5 or flex 5. This allowed me to decide which one.

[@SakuraKalas]

So.. Which one is your choice? 😊

[@itzyinyourareat9763]

What did you choose?

[@rizly7334]

Will a i7 10510U, 8gb ram, intel UHD graphics 630 gpu be good enough for graphic desgin? I need a laptop for my graphic desgin college hope you could help me out

[@aarupoudyal1378]

Im not sure about the uhd graphics....

[@BenGKaiser]

Appreciate it!

[@reyjoson7895]

I have been asking you in your past vids about what windows laptop to get for content creation, wherein I can work and play. But color accuracy and price doesn’t play well together haha. I just played it safe and got 13” MBP base model, which I forgot to upgrade to 16GB RAM (got too excited to checkout). Hope it can run Adobe CC smoothly.

[@BenGKaiser]

If you find that it is not satisfactory you may be able to return it in the 30-day Window. Please forgive me for not responding, you comment must have slipped by. Even tho I am too late, here are the Windows Laptops I recommend: 💻 Acer Spin 5 ( geni.us/Spin5-i710 - Commission Earned ) 💻 Asus Zephyrus G14 ( geni.us/G14-R7-4800HS - Commission Earned ) 💻 MSI Prestige 15 FHD ( geni.us/Prestige15-16gb - Commission Earned ) These all come in at a decent price with good color gamut range.

[@crussell4691]

Bro! Why is everyone but you sleeping on the Acer Spin???!!!!!! INSTANT SUB!

[@BenGKaiser]

Because its not a 1500 - 3000 laptop. I have noticed a trend of people only reviewing expensive laptops. ;) I am trying to get vendors to send me lower budget laptops like this one more often.

[@theinktician]

Spin series laptops usually get terribly hot. If they waited out 10th gen for Tiger Lake or Ryzen 4000 they could've helped themselves but the damage was done with past mistakes. The change to a 3:2 aspect ratio has gotten it a bit of attention

[@brisingr12]

@@BenGKaiser i have an open budget but THERE is no other laptop in India atleast with 3:2 display. Microsoft surface has but its too low in configurations and needlessly high on the price. Haven't purchased it yet but seriously considering this now..

I'd stay away from a laptop getting temperatures over 90°. That acer spin is a furnace. I bought the lenovo for $600 with the pen and 16gb of RAM, it gets to a max of 75° when gaming at 1080p and it feels very hot, can't imagine that acer spin's aluminum chasis when it peaks 90 degrees, untouchable.

[@ciungalunga]

But what CAN you really do with a 2in1 ??? is the pen 2 for Lenovo enough to start drawing in photoshop or illustrator and make a living as an graphic designer ? no need for a Wacom tablet anymore? I just bought the Lenovo Flex 5 15IIL05 with 15.6inch screen, i7-1065G7, 16gb ddr4 3200mhz, 512Gb SSD NVME , backlit kb, fingerprint reader, I'm so blown away by this machine but I've only used photoshop with a mouse, same in illustrator ! Does it replace drawing tablets? The people need to know ! :))

Hi Ben. Finally, I bought the legion 5I laptop. It arrived yesterday. After 1 day of use, I noticed that, while playing any game the framerate is freezed at 60fps and is not increasing. The gameplay is smooth. It is a 120hz display panel Ben. What could be the reason behind it Ben ? Please could u help me ? Awaiting for ur opinion 😊

Play around with the V-sync settings of the graphics in-game settings and also check the radeon adrenalyn or nvida or intel graphics settings for gaming. It has to do with V-sync.

[@coolmonkey5269]

but is lenovo flex has 2K display 😾🙄

[@ivanivanovich2617]

Wow. Numbers are not explained properly, just some percentages. Laptops' specs are not clear. There are tons of similar models with different configuration. Basically Acer's CPU is way slower, Lenovo beats it at every corner as day to day laptop, for studying with lots of apps opened, multitasking, programming, data processing, trading. GPU in Lenovo is not the best, so it's not for gaming or video editing. But besides all that it seems as a better choice. Acer has 2K screen, but it's not a game changer for such a small diagonal. As for brightness, Acer uses PWM for that. That's bad for your health.

[@aryanbhutani5463]

Leonard from tbbt

[@Desanti69]

the lenovo has 250 nits of brightness not 210

[@figoxor]

Indeed! Not a big difference in numbers but definitely visually 250nits screens are so much better.

[@Nazareth434]

Not real happy with Acer spin 5 13 2-1 laptop (54N)- The pen is awful for drawing- too thin- and Acer 'tech support' apparently doesn't know what pens can replace it- and the site doesn't have a replacement pen should the supplied one's nib wear out- i guess they don't even sell nibs- wish i had known all this before buying- The touch it kinda hit or miss- it mostly works, but every now and again takes several tries to close a tab- Their 'tech' tells me a bamboo ink pen will work- but reviews on those pens are kinda pretty bad as far as jitter go It's too bad because the specs are awesome! 2 Thunderbold port,s usb-c port, 1-7 with 16 gig ram and 512 HD which is blazingly fast start up (8 seconds), hdmi port, Micro SD Card slot for storage up to 1 TB I think) headphone jack- Tracpad = meh it's ok- not great- the cover on laptop scratches easily- I wanna keep it but the pen issue is too much as i bought this for art- painting, drawing- I didn't realize the pen issue woudl be as bad as it is as far as finding a solid larger replacement pen to use- their support at hte site is practically useless I'm afraid- their community support several people have asked the same thing- they want better pen- no answers from acer or other users - info on the pens is very limited- it's been a frustrating experience trying to find info
