The XPS 13 2-in-1’s keyboard is a $100 add-on that includes an active pen (a $30 option with the Lenovo), and it has an edge-to-edge design that’s similar to the XPS 13 Plus. The included touchpad is small but functional.

The IdeaPad Duet 5i includes a detachable keyboard, and it has a comfortable feel, with sufficient key spacing and light, snappy switches. The XPS 13 2-in-1 relies on its detachable folio keyboard for a kickstand, and offers just three magnetically secured angles. It’s like the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 in this respect. They’re both solid designs, although the IdeaPad Duet 5i has one distinct feature - a kickstand that’s centered in the rear of the tablet and props it up at a wide range of angles. The same goes for build quality, with both manufactured from aluminum and the XPS 13 2-in-1 featuring an all-glass back. Both designs are simple, with little to differentiate them aesthetically. Lenovo offers two colors, Storm Grey and Stone Blue, while the Dell comes in Sky and Slate. At the high end, you’ll spend $1,449 for a Core i7-1250U, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD, without the keyboard and pen.īoth tablets are typical slates, with the IdeaPad Duet 5i being slightly more rounded at the corners. That compares to the XPS 13 2-in-1 that starts at $1,000 with a Core i5-1230U, 8GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD, and without the $100 keyboard folio or pen. The keyboard folio is included, but the $30 pen is not. There’s just one configuration of the IdeaPad Duet 5i, a $790 model with a Core i3-1215U CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD.
