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.

The CPU upgrade to an i7 they offer is also only 2 real cores.

Broken hinges are rare on thinkbooks, but their fans are notoriously loud compared to ThinkPads.

Anyways, for what it's worth, I've had a Thinkpad Yoga 460 for some years and I've never really noticed fan noise. Granted, it's not exactly a powerhouse and I wasn't really doing any really heavy lifting. I wouldn't expect that to be an issue for mid(low?) range Thinkpads, but I'm no expert.
Edit: Whoops, just realized the distinction between Thinkpads and Thinkbooks. Guess I just offered some more useless info.
