Reviews for the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 2-in-1 14Q8X9
Source: Digital Trends
At $850, the IdeaPad 5x 2-in-1 is a great laptop. It has a very good OLED display, so long as you’re OK with the resolution. It’s also quite fast and gets excellent battery life. It’s well-built with an aesthetic that’s kind of boring but certainly isn’t ugly. I wish it had a haptic touchpad, and it doesn’t have a fast USB4 port. But the best thing is, it’s entirely possible that you’ll be able to grab the IdeaPad 5x at an even greater deal at under $700. At that price, the laptop becomes even more than just an easy recommendation.

The Lenovo IdeaPad 5x 2-in-1 is a fine choice if you’re looking for an affordable 14-inch laptop or 2-in-1 that has an alluring OLED touchscreen and good connectivity. It falls behind in 3D performance and battery life, but those downsides are easier to overlook at $850. Shoppers who want a Windows machine that’s enjoyable for basic day-to-day tasks and office productivity should give the IdeaPad 5x 2-in-1 a look.

Qualcomm Adreno X1-45 1.7 TFLOPS: An integrated graphics adapter that the Snapdragon X Plus 8-core X1P-42-100 SoC features. Compared to the faster 3.8 TFLOPS and 4.6 TFLOPS X1-85 iGPUs, this one does not just run at lower clock speeds but also has fewer unified shaders at its disposal, with 768 being the most likely number. The underlying architecture is reportedly not much different from what was used in the Adreno 730. As for its gaming performance, it's only just sufficient for pre-2020 games at resolutions such as HD 720p on low graphics settings.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
