While the tbook Flex offers portability and the option to watch videos, shows, movies among other things, don’t expect the 2-in-1 to manage performance and graphics-intensive tasks well. You’ll need more power under the hood for that.
It looks good, but it doesn’t integrate with the tablet as seamlessly as we’d like. For starters, the Windows soft keyboard doesn’t pop up automatically when you tap a text field and the physical keyboard isn’t connected, which can be frustrating for people who don’t know which menu to find it in. We also took for granted that the keys and trackpad would deactivate when the cover was folded over backwards, but this has to be done manually and individually using Fn keys. We also found that on rare and intermittent occasions either the keys or trackpad would stop responding, and the only remedy was to physically disconnect and reconnect the cover.
