The best thing about hybrid laptops is that they are handier than you're regular laptop. Unlike tablets, they are also full-powered PC, which simply means that you can do all major PC tasks in them despite their tablet-like nature. With a 2-in-1 laptop, you'd get a tablet and a laptop without the hassle of bringing two devices at once or sacrificing power in exchange of portability. Here are some of the best convertible laptops that you can buy this year.
HP Spectre x360
The HP Spectre x360 is one of the most popular laptops right now. Not only because it's convertible, but also because it is an uber-powerful laptop even without the hinges that makes it hybrid. HP just recently revamped the Spectre x360 giving it an even more powerful processor in the form of Intel Kaby Lake. It has also improved in more ways than this, making the new HP Spectre x360 a really good deal this year. As for the laptop's battery life, Tech Radar says that it can be used for more than eight hours regardless if you're using it in tablet or laptop position.
Dell Inspiron 13 7000
Dell also has one convertible that's not only powerful but also attractive. Like most laptops these days, the Dell Inspiron 13 7000 also comes in different spec variants (Intel Core i5-i7). However, what's interesting about this laptop is that its keyboard is waterproof, making it a good bet for people who multitask between working and drinking something. The Dell Inspiron 13 7000 is also known for its sturdy build, which actually makes it a little heftier than other convertibles. Needless to say, it's still a very good convertible all in all.
Lenovo Yoga 900
Lenovo has been known for its range of convertibles that cater to the needs of different people. They have low-end hybrid devices that are more budget-friendly than the others and they also have super high-end convertibles that are perfect for working people. One of the more premium 2-in-1s that the company has is the Lenovo Yoga 900.
It has amazing display, premium internals and most importantly, a slim body. It's a bit on the more expensive end of the Lenovo convertible price range but it is definitely one of the most powerful laptops on the market. Its price is practically a good deal considering its overall value. Overall, Lenovo boasts of Yoga 900's 360 watchband hinge and thin build.
Microsoft Surface Book
The king of them all is probably the Surface Book. It's one convertible that most of the other brands want to be compared to. It's very futuristic in nature and this is very visible in the separation of the monitor to its keyboard. It's also very thin and very powerful.
As of recently, Microsoft has revamped the Surface Book stuffing it with Kaby Lake, Intel's latest processor. This means that the Surface hybrid isn't only physically attractive, it's got top-of-the-line internal specs too. If you want tablet portability and laptop power, the Surface Book is one of the best choice you have right now. If you're willing to splurge, you can also get the variant with up to 1TB configuration.
