Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £1024.33 ex-VAT, the ThinkBook 14 2‑in‑1 G5 is a decent “proper business” hybrid if you actually plan to use the touchscreen/convertible angle—meetings, quick whiteboarding, on-the-go note taking, that kind of thing. The ThinkBook line is usually where you get reliable build and business-friendly management without paying ThinkPad prices. With 16GB RAM and a modern Ultra 5-class processor, it should feel smooth for everyday office work, Teams, light content work, and multiple browser tabs without drama—so you’re paying for something that won’t feel obsolete in 2–3 years.

That said, I wouldn’t buy this for a team that mostly does classic laptop work (email, spreadsheets, basic reporting). At this budget you can often get a more traditional clamshell with better value, better keyboard ergonomics and (realistically) better long-term durability where the 2‑in‑1 hinge gets more wear than you’d expect. Also, if your users rarely use touch, the touchscreen premium becomes dead weight. Net: buy it for mobile staff who benefit from the 2‑in‑1 form factor; avoid it if you want the best value “laptop for the money” and your users won’t use it in tablet/tent modes.
