Build quality is quite good. Fans are quiet. Performance is basically what you expect it to be - very good for non-gaming applications. The FHD camera (on our i7 model) is surprisingly good - significantly better than the 720p version. The screen gets bright enough and the color range is good. Touch works well along with the pen. (the prior generation 14s had issues with the pen not working.... ever)
There are a few downsides though - the screen is just 16:9 and glossy. Xe graphics are somewhat inferior to the Vega 7/8 of the AMD U series. Thunderbolt ports (there are two) are only on the left side along with a HDMI 2.0 (not 2.1) port. Additionally, AMD powered versions of the Thinkbooks, in my experience, are just better. They are quieter, perform better, and generally cost less. (we have hundreds deployed) That said - there is no AMD powered Thinkbook 2 in 1.
Overall, if you want a 2 in 1, I don't believe you can do much better for the price. Easy to order and easy to return if needed. My only suggestion is that you stay far away from the blue version. While it does look good, it's a fingerprint magnet, and the silver is very much not.
Other than that, it's a pretty good deal.

our lenovo 7i is 400 nits glossy and we can barely see anything if the room is bright or there's some sunlight
lower brightness would seem borderline unusable
The CPU upgrade to an i7 they offer is also only 2 real cores.
i5-1235U [cpubenchmark.net] (2P+8E, 12 threads)
Single: 3482
Multi: 14123
i7-11390H [cpubenchmark.net] (4P, 8 threads)
Single: 3027
Multi: 10590
i7-11600H [cpubenchmark.net] (6P, 12 threads)
Single: 3159
Multi: 15907
Maybe there are some areas where having only 2 big cores falls flat, and maybe there are power efficiency issues (Rembrandt is said to be better at low TDPs). But these are far from weak.
Intel is going to stick with this strategy for years to come. We will probably see 8+32 cores on the desktop.
It works well. I like the capability. I could increase RAM to 32, but have not yet.
My only complaint are the power drain and the inability to set the Power Conservation mode to 80% charge. (Lenovo engineers put it at 60% and unlike the ThinkPad, it is not scalable. What a bunch of morons.)
The nice thing about this ThinkBook is that you can have 3 displays and STILL have it charging and powering one of the external displays.
- Display 1: tent mode
- Display 2: USB-C display (powered via USB-C)
- Display 3: HDMI (self powered via AC)
*You can buy a USB-C adapter that will have two HDMI inputs.
I have a ThinkPad for work, and it only has one USB-C, so unless I bring the dock (which has a power block), I can only have 2 displays (main and HDMI) when powering the ThinkPad via AC. Likewise, I have to supply power to the external display.
Was holding out for a 12th Gen processor + 16GB RAM + 2-in-1 design under $750, and this fits the bill perfect!
is this laptop 2 in 1 Style ?
can i upgrade their ram by myself for example using crucial ? not from lenovo
