12 best convertible laptops

A high-performance top-level laptop, made as two-in-one type: with a flick of the wrist, this transformer turns into a tablet. But more importantly, it uses a 15.6-inch touchscreen display with 100% AdobeRGB color reproduction, which significantly increases the comfort of working with graphics and photos. Further more, in addition to a nimble 4-core CPU with a clock speed of 3.1 GHz, the XPS 15 9575 received a discrete graphics card with 4 GB of HBM2 format memory, i.e. the gadget will come in handy at your leisure, launching most games without any problems. As for the most common shortcomings, most often in the reviews the model is scolded for the lack of conventional USB ports (only Type-C) and the ability to add RAM, and also complain about the reduced viewing angles.

Convertible laptop from the leading Chinese manufacturer of gadgets two in one. I got a quite tolerable display, so it's good when used in tablet mode. The performance is average, the 2-core processor is clearly not top-level, plus only 4 GB of RAM. True, the latter is quite nimble, plus it supports replacing the bar with up to 16 GB. Among other positive nuances, we note the presence of a card reader, the pleasant operation of the keyboard and the presence of a USB Type-C port. On the other hand, the fragile and easily soiled plastic of the body is frustrating, but the limited autonomy is much more unpleasant - without an outlet, the laptop will last 6-7 hours, and even then in surfing the net.

A good gadget two in one from ASUS.The model is relatively inexpensive, especially against the background of the features offered: a high-quality 14-inch display with a responsive sensor and first-class color reproduction that allows you to work with graphic content, a 6-core processor, 8 GB of RAM and an SSD drive. In terms of autonomy, the indicators are average - up to 7 hours. It is made reliably, but the manufacturer overdid it with the display mount, which is why the screen opens extremely tightly. Another problem that most influenced the rating is the delivery with Windows in Chinese without the ability to switch to Russian. In addition, the kit includes a cover that does not fit in size.

This model is a novelty on the Russian market of two-in-one devices, which is rapidly gaining popularity due to a well-balanced balance of price and quality. In general, the gadget is inexpensive, but equipped with a 10th generation processor (albeit a 2-core one) and easily handles all office tasks, as well as online services for study and entertainment. As befits a transformer, the screen is touch-sensitive, and the rotary mechanism allows you to turn the ultrabook into a tablet.The autonomy is also pleasing - without an outlet, the novelty can last up to 11 hours. Now about the sad. So far, the model is rather damp and often comes across a marriage, expressed in assembly defects: gaps, dangling keyboard buttons, creaking when opening the lid, etc.

A mid-budget 2-in-1 laptop that easily converts to a tablet thanks to its 360-degree touch screen. Built on the basis of a frisky AMD processor with a very productive graphics core, which will allow you to work calmly with graphic content at the top level. The base gets 8 GB of RAM, but a replacement for a 16 GB bar is supported. It is worth noting the presence of a 512 GB SSD drive, which is very rare at this price. As for the opinions of buyers, the reviews are full of laudatory words about the design and build quality, while the negative points include battery life (up to 5-6 hours), a glossy screen coating and a tendency to quickly heat up with prolonged maximum loads.

Inexpensive convertible laptop with tablet function, which entered the market in 2020. The model is office, so it received a 2-core processor, but with a good level of performance. The hardware is supplemented with 4 GB of RAM, but it is possible to upgrade up to 16 GB, which is recommended to be done immediately after purchase. There is an SSD, but even here a small fly in the ointment crept in - the volume of 128 GB is not so big by modern standards. In general, we get a typical two-in-one device, confidently taking its place in our top. If we evaluate the few reviews so far, then the key drawbacks of the new product are ergonomic flaws, poor BIOS design and fragile plastic.

A premium convertible laptop with a presentable design and a metal case. Very thin and light, but at the same time quite productive. On board a 4-core processor, 8 GB of RAM and an integrated video chip suitable for games. However, the amount of RAM is not large enough to count on comfortable gaming, so the model is more inclined towards office work or simple entertainment, because the manufacturer did not stint on high-quality acoustics with 4 speakers and introduced a powerful battery that can withstand 11 hours without recharging. A fly in the ointment will be the small diagonal of the display - at 13 inches with a small movie you won’t see much. Plus, for such a price, it would be logical to see a fingerprint scanner, but the Americans saved on it.

A relatively inexpensive convertible laptop with the highest quality AMD hardware and a good balance of functionality and performance. The main trump card is a 14-inch touchscreen display that can open 360 degrees, turning the gadget into a full-fledged tablet. On board 8 GB of RAM soldered on the board, i.e. you can’t increase it, but its operating frequency of 3200 MHz is impressive. We also note a 512 GB SSD drive, the volume of which is enough for any task. In general, this model is an excellent two-in-one device, suitable for both work / study and entertainment - most games will run at least at the minimum graphics settings. Long-term autonomy (up to 12 hours) also works as a plus, which is often written in reviews, where, on the other hand, there is an increased visibility of the display.

A very compact convertible laptop that looks more like a tablet with a keyboard. Here everything is at the bare minimum: a modest 11.6-inch touchscreen display, 4 GB of RAM, integrated graphics and a 64 GB eMMC drive. Upgrade is not provided, but as compensation there is a high autonomy - up to 12 hours. In addition, the model is made in a reliable metal case, received a card reader, a quite comfortable keyboard and a high-speed USB 3.x port. In general, an inexpensive gadget is not bad for simple office tasks or study, i.e. perfect for a student as the first personal device, but the two-in-one layout will partly make it possible to compensate for the lack of performance by the convenience of working with various software.

A typical inexpensive transformer with iron oriented to office work or study. Quite "survivable", both in terms of reliability of components, and endurance without recharging (up to 10 hours of autonomy). At the same time, in order to reduce the price, the Chinese saved a lot: the display here is not the best in the class, the case is made of easily soiled plastic, and the upgrade only includes replacing the base RAM bar, and the upper limit of memory support is limited to 8 GB. We also note the SSD drive, yes, it is fast and of high quality, but it is far from the top and holds only 128 GB of data, so you will additionally have to use an external HDD. And the reviews are full of various complaints about ergonomics.

An interesting laptop-transformer for office work. I got to the top thanks to an excellent touch screen with good picture detail. And yet, this is an inexpensive gadget two in one, claiming to be the best option as the first device in this class.The model is very versatile, plus it has a large selection of ports for connecting peripherals: USB 3.2, USB Type-C and even HDMI. Responsible for performance is a 2-core Pentium with a clock frequency of 2.3 GHz, i.e. the laptop-tablet will cope with office tasks with a bang. What's more, the base 4 GB of RAM can easily be upgraded to 12 GB for a noticeable performance boost. The reviews also praise the model for a decent level of autonomy, reaching 9 hours of surfing the net.

Inexpensive and budget-friendly transformer with a 2-core processor, a 128 GB SSD, integrated graphics and only 4 GB of RAM in the basic configuration. The latter can be expanded up to 8 GB using the second slot, which will slightly increase the system's capabilities, but in general this model is a typical representative of the class of office notebooks. Among other features, we note the presence of a card reader and a USB 3.1 Type-C port. But much more important is the presence of a powerful battery that allows you to work without recharging up to 11 hours.The screen is the most standard for this type of device - IPS matrix, 14 inches diagonal, responsive sensor, good color reproduction. In the minuses, you can safely write down the fragile plastic of the case, so it’s better not to drop the gadget.
