It has plenty of ports so you can quickly set it up with an external display, keyboard and mouse for desktop-like experience, but the larger built-in display gives you room to work while you're away from a desk, too. It also lasted more than 11 hours on our battery test.
Read our HP Envy x 15 review. Although it's not the Surface Laptop , the Surface Pro continues to hit all the right notes if you're looking for a do-it-all Windows tablet that doubles as a Windows laptop. The Surface Pro 7 is still around for the time being at a discount, and an updated version called the Surface Pro 7 Plus will stay in the lineup, so you'll still be able to get the classic Pro design but with new processors.
Read our Microsoft Surface Pro 8 review. This is essentially a Chromebook version of the first Microsoft Surface Go. Like the Go, the Chromebook Duet is a inch tablet with a detachable keyboard and touchscreen.
Unlike Microsoft, though, Lenovo includes the keyboard. This device is essentially a smaller, albeit less powerful, Pixel Slate that makes more sense for more people with a price that's more in line with what people expect a Chromebook to cost.

As the name implies, it gives you more vertical room to work, but it still has the width of a typical Between that and its battery life that lasted nearly 13 hours in our tests, you'll be able to get more work done in a day and it's still thin and light enough for an everyday carry.
The latest version of this Chromebook is the first to receive Intel's Evo verification, which means you'll be getting the best possible mobile experience with this model. It's also the first with Thunderbolt 4 support letting you connect to multiple external displays as well as giving you fast data speeds and networking.

Joshua Goldman. Best small premium 2-in-1 Dell XPS 13 2-in Jump to details. Best small 2-in-1 with a display HP Spectre x It does the miraculous by combining a high-resolution display that is both bright and vivid with long battery life — it's a feat we very rarely see. Digging into the specifics, the Latitude has a inch, x pixel display and gets more than 15 hours of battery life. Those stats are just astounding. Business users will appreciate the extra security features including the fingerprint sensor and IR camera for facial recognition.
The laptop is sturdy, having withstood military-grade durability tests, and has great sound quality. If you're for something a bit more unique consider the ultra-lightweight ThinkPad X1 Titanium. See our Dell Latitude 2-in-1 review. Microsoft has struck the right 2-in-1 balance.
Instead of having a detachable lid like the Surface Book it replaces, or an attachable keyboard like the Surface Pro 8, the Surface Laptop Studio employs a unique hinge that allows the display to be pulled forward and positioned into different modes. Not only can the Surface Laptop Studio be transformed into a digital drawing board, but it does so without compromising the standard laptop mode.
This flexibility, along with excellent performance and long battery life, makes the Surface Laptop Studio a compelling option for creative professionals. See our full Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio review. HP's EliteBook x G7 is among the best business laptops money can buy. This stunning laptop has a gorgeous chassis that flaunts a flexible hinge, allowing the x G7 to convert from a laptop into a tablet.
It's one of a few rare notebooks that seemingly has no downsides. Along with that stylus chassis, you get a bright and vivid inch display. But the EliteBook x G7's greatness doesn't stop there.
The laptop also has a surprisingly comfortable keyboard, fast performance and a host of security features, including an IR camera, a fingerprint sensor and MIL-SPEC rated durability. The 10th Gen Intel CPUs, while lacking graphical oomph, are powerful, and the battery lasts for longer than 11 hours on a charge. The Samsung Galaxy Book Flex 15 sports the world's first QLED display, which means you'll get to feast your eyes on a color-rich, super-bright screen -- and you won't have to sacrifice too much battery power to get it.
In fact, when we tested the gorgeous royal-blue Flex 15 in our lab, the laptop gave us a whopping 15 hours of battery life. Ah, we no longer have to imagine a world where we can spend all day on our 2-in-1 without having to worry about battery life; Samsung's made it possible. Another draw of this amazing Samsung 2-in-1 is its built-in S pen as well as its touchpad, which has the ability to charge Qi-compatible devices.
One downside of the laptop, though, is its shortened Shift key, which will take some time to get used to. See our full Samsung Galaxy Book Flex 15 review. You first need to decide what type of 2-in-1 laptop is right for you. If you want a primary computing device for home and work, you should probably go with a laptop that can convert into a tablet, or what we call a bendback 2-in If you want something more portable or just need a nice display for content viewing, consider buying a tablet that converts into a tablet via a detachable keyboard.
Tablets are also great for artists or designers because they typically support a stylus input and aren't as unwieldy as convertible laptops. Once you've made a choice between tablet or laptop, decide how much power you need. AMD is coming in hot with its Ryzen chips , so keep an eye out for those. Battery life is another key component of any good 2-in-1 laptop. If you plan to take the notebook to class or the library, don't count on there being an outlet!
Consider a laptop that gets at least 9 hours of battery life, which should be enough to get you through a couple of classes with enough juice for studies. We put 2-in-1 laptops through extensive benchmark testing — both synthetic and real-world — before they end up in the hands of our reviewers. We evaluate each aspect of the laptop, including its performance, battery life, display, speakers and heat management. In our benchmark testing, we use a Klein K10 colorimeter to detect the brightness and sRGB color gamut of the laptop's display.
For performance testing, we run the laptop through a gauntlet of benchmarks, including Geekbench 4. To determine real-world performance, we task the laptop to convert a 4K video to p resolution and to duplicate a 4.
Our real-world graphics test is the Dirt 3 benchmark with medium settings at p resolution. Gaming laptops go through an entire library of games at high settings to see how their discrete GPUs keep up. We also run heat tests by playing a minute full-screen video and measuring temperatures in different areas of the laptop. Last but not least, our battery test consists of continuous web surfing over Wi-Fi at nits of brightness.
For MacBooks and premium Windows 10 and soon Windows 11 laptops, a runtime of over 9 hours is considered a good result whereas gaming laptops and workstations that can stay powered for longer than 5 hours deserve praise. These tests are complemented with extensive hands-on testing from our reviewers who critique everything from the laptop's materials to the feel of its touchpad.
