Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 5
2-in-1Product Gallery
Product Overview
The ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 5 is a premium business 2-in-1 laptop computer designed for durability and performance on the go. In its 5th incarnation, the X1 Yoga offers improved battery life, connectivity, and form factor; it is also Lenovo's first laptop to be Intel Athena Certified.
Sharing much of the design details and configurable components with the clamshell X1 Carbon Gen 8, the X1 Yoga Gen 5 is more versatile, with arguably no compromise except for the comparatively more reflective display.

Reviewer score 77% (normalized by Neofiliac)The ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 5 is a more modern business laptop, but it still has a commercial heart. The 1080p screen is the better choice for most potential buyers, as it'll result in longer battery life. The included stylus is a unique feature too, one that's matched by only the Samsung Galaxy Book Flex.
Pros
- Excellent build quality
- Excellent keyboard and TrackPoint stylus
- Long battery life
Cons
- Slightly stodgy design
- No Thunderbolt 3

Reviewer score 80% (normalized by Neofiliac)PCMark 10 and 8 are holistic performance suites developed by the PC benchmark specialists at UL.

Its gorgeous screen still makes it a solid choice for managing digital photos.
