He ended up scoring this laptop four out of five stars and marked it as one of the best laptops available for purchase right now.
Being able to use this device as a laptop, a tablet, or in tent mode like a propped-up tablet makes it a truly versatile piece of tech that can fit a number of use cases and scenarios.
This laptop is powered by a Snapdragon X Plus processor, and as is usually the case for these kinds of devices, it offers long battery life and solid performance in a slim frame.
In our own testing, it managed to last for up to 15 hours and 37 minutes while running basic office tasks. That's more than long enough to make it through a busy school day or workday. Plus, the lightweight nature makes it easier to travel with than some other laptops out there.
Just last month, I wrote about my smooth experience using two different Snapdragon X-powered laptops while on a long-distance work trip from the USA to Taiwan and back. These devices lasted through my super-long workdays without being too heavy to tote around.
If you want to grab one of the best gaming laptops while it's at a great discount, don't miss out on this Lenovo 14" IdeaPad 5x 2-in-1 clearance sale at Best Buy.
