I had a ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2012 which died, so I bought an IdeaPad Flex 5 3 months ago it holds up to my use (as a high school student and a software developer) really well - It can handle schoolwork really well (tablet mode is very useful) as well as my SW dev workflow without breaking a sweat it lasts 7-10 hours on battery with light use, but watching videos brings it down- I can binge 1080p anime for 5 hours on battery R5 5500U, 16GB Ram, and 512GB SSD - good deal for 800 CAD linux compatibility is not very good though, fingerprint scanner doesn't work with linux, and tablet mode is extremely buggy with autorotate not working (on ubuntu, I will try arch later). its a great laptop for the price, and its a welcome upgrade from i7-3667u, 8gb ram, 180gb SSD, 45 minute battery life, and a half broken screen

[@Itzanna_edits27]

mine broke 3 times. the first time being the brightness key, 8, i, k, and comma key, and the black slash key. the left flap next to the bottom edge is pushy, like lightly pressing a button, and now it started draining the battery when i close it. like it stays right where it left off as if i’m still using it. also today it’s been on the charger for 5ish hours and it only got to 60 percent. i tried changing the settings, and it still didn’t change the shutdown thing from the bit locker recovery. the keyboard thing happened on my hp chromebook, but we got that fixed. what should i switch to so this doesn’t happen again, that is, if my parents let me get a new laptop? i’m in highschool and can’t be without one. thanks!

mmmm... I've been thinking on replacing my Surface Pro 6 before I got to university this fall. I've had the surface pro 6 for over 4 years now and It remains super speedy and responsive. However, there are things that I don't longer enjoy of this device like the keyboard (flimsy), the high temperatures the screen reaches when using OneNote (using it as a tablet for taking notes is a hassle for this reason), the pen (using batteries and not being ergonomic enough), one USB port (so I can't use my mouse and another USB at the same time), etc. I'm thinking of something closer to a laptop, but with the flexibility to let me use a comfortable pen to write math and chemistry equations directly into my digital notes, and I think this laptop could make a good choice.

@@Lunogic I have the same laptop with the same specs. This laptop is a beauty. I haven’t had any problems with it. Had it so far for about 3 months. It’s fast and the fingerprint scanner is a nice feature to quickly log in. This laptop might even be overkill for just word/light browsing. I’m saying this because it can even game. At pretty good frames. 60+ on most games (depending on the game of course). Also, the keyboard lights up, so it can be good when used in the dark. Only downside is it does not come with a stylus pen. So you would have to buy one.

[@kartik8704]

Great review, I just got mine. However I just realised that it doesn't have those rubber shoes that prevent the keyboard from coming in contact with the surface when you use it in tablet mode. I am also kind of worried if the edges will get damaged in tent mode. What are you people's experience on this? How can I protect my keyboard?

[@SeeRoosterTech]

Hey. Thanks for the comment. Regarding the rubber feet for the device, many people have this issue unfortunately. I would actually recommend contacting customer support since you just got this device, and try to see if you can get some sort of warranty replacement. If they are unresponsive to your request, I would suggest buying your own protective rubber that you can just tape to the back of the device. Sorry to hear about your experience with the device. Hope this helps. Have a wonderful day!

@@tharinisachindyafernando9842for me i like it, it's not so light but the weight give me some "durability felling" 😆 . Iam using it to office work and playing games. For me the pen is so much useful to taking some fast note, but if it's for drawing i don't think i can't explain it to well because iam not using that for drawing maybe just some scribble.. And the only games i played just genshin impact, even tough it get hot around keyboard but it manageable and i use tent mode when playing games to reduce the heat and expose the fan.. The minus is maybe you can't place the pen, actually it come with some add on/device (?) to plug the pen to the usb port (?) but the laptop just have 2 usb port so it tricky to use it and iam so worried to scratch my keyboard edge when iam using tablet mode because i haven't find the case or keyboard cover or maybe some little cushion for that, but so far is still good because iam not using tablet mode so much. Hope you can understand what iam trying to say because English isn't my first languages. Hope you can find your best laptop for you🙏🏻
