Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i 14" Convertible Laptop Is not a totally new concept. Open the screen part way and it’s a laptop. Flip the screen completely over and it switches to tablet mode.In terms of specifications, the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i 14" Convertible Laptop is low to average. It has an FHD (1920 x 1080) Touch Screen Display, an Intel Core i3 processor, 4GB DDR4 RAM and a 128GB SSD. It’s not a screamer by any means, but it gets the job done for typical home tasks.The Lenovo’s IdeaPad Flex 5i 14" Convertible Laptop is larger and heavier than I what I had expected for a 14” laptop. My Dell XPS-13 is a fraction of the size and weight and much thinner, but it has a somewhat smaller screen and it isn’t a convertible. In addition, the Lenovo’s screen is dim outdoors even in the shade and even with full brightness.The Lenovo IdeaPad Laptop runs Windows 10 in S Mode. The “S” doesn’t stand for “Super” or “Special.” S Mode is a limited, locked down version of the Windows 10 Operating System. Microsoft states that S Mode is a faster, more protected version of Windows. And that may be true, but Windows 10 S also prohibits installing any application that weren’t downloaded from the Windows Store. The only Browser that can be installed is Edge. Google Chrome and Firefox may not be run. This is rather restrictive at least for me. Fortunately, Microsoft allows users to change the Windows version from Windows S to Windows Home without charge (for this model.)Just to see what would happen (and because I need to install apps that do not come from the Microsoft Store) I switched the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i 14" Convertible Laptop out of S Mode to Windows Home. The change is well documented on the Net and YouTube. Be aware that the process of switching isn’t hard, but it is not possible to switch back from Windows Home (or any other Windows version) to S Mode. This change is strictly one way. Once it’s done, it can’t be undone.Maybe it’s just me, but I’m not a fan of Windows Tablet Mode. It always seems to be awkward and forced and very much unlike an iPad or am Android tablet. Maybe I just need to get used to Windows way of doing a tablet. Nevertheless, with the Lenovo’s IdeaPad Flex 5i 14" Convertible Laptop it doesn’t matter as much since I can have it either way.
