Curious about what 2-in-1 laptops can do for you? You’ve probably seen a lot of buzz about laptops that can also be used as tablets. Here’s what you need to know.
Laptops are designed to be a portable version of a Desktop Computer setup with built-in peripherals like a Keyboard, Screen and Track Pad which performs the same functions as a Mouse. Expanding from this basic design are several different types of Laptops including 2 in 1 Laptops, Ultraportables, Chromebooks, MacBooks and a traditional Notebook style.
2in1 Laptops aka Convertible Laptops are designed to switch between a Laptop mode and a Tablet mode. This means 2-in-1 Laptops always have touchscreens and the Laptop itself is designed to change form factors to replicate using both modes.
The design of 2-in-1s varies considerably across different brands and models with each striking a different balance between portability, power and versatility. Unlike most conventional Laptops, many 2-in-1 Laptops can be connected to a Mobile Phone Network in the same way that a Tablet PC can.
Convertible 2-in-1 laptops have some advantages over Tablets and other Laptop types. A significant point to consider is that a 2-in-1 Laptop reduces the number of devices in use at home and work. If it's being used professionally or for study, their portability also means you may only have to carry a single device around all day.
The designated Keyboard is a comfortable and practical option to work or type out a long assignment, something that is less feasible for a traditional Tablet. When compared to other Tablets, 2-in-1s also offer more input and output (IO) ports for peripherals, the operating systems tend to be faster and more compatible with software.
If you are an arty person or work professionally in a digital creative field, the touchscreen on a 2-in-1 is great for drawing and sketching directly on to the screen, which is not possible on a traditional Laptop or PC.
A 2-in-1 laptop is great for work, study and entertainment in both Tablet and Laptop modes. They can also be used to play games, although the Gaming performance will vary depending on the specs of your specific model as well as the game being played.
Before buying, it is worth considering how you want to be using your computer and what games you want to be able to play on it. The minimum and recommended specifications for running any game are available to check online before buying or you can. You can also check online if a specific game will run on a specific computer model number.
One of the great things about playing games on a 2-in-1 is the option to play portably. Depending on what sort of games you are looking at playing, you will want to make sure you have a powerful enough graphics card and enough RAM to run the game smoothly. For the best possible Gaming performance, we recommend our range of Gaming PCs.
Before buying a new 2-in-1 Laptop, consider how you'll use it. Different 2-in-1 Laptop models will strike a different balance between portability, power and versatility. This means that there is a good chance there is a 2-in-1 Laptop designed for how you want to use it, if you know yourself.
If you want to use your laptop for high quality streaming or Gaming, then you will probably want to think about screen resolution as well as the graphics card and RAM. Screen resolutions (e.g. HD, Full HD and 4K) vary from low end 1366 x 768, up to 2736 x 1824. If you want to run games smoothly we recommend at least 8GB of DDR4 RAM, with plenty of 2-in-1s offering up to 16GB of RAM.
Another factor to consider is a foldable or detachable keyboard. Most models are foldable with hinges that allow the keyboard to fold all the way around to fit behind the screen for tablet use and allow various configurations.
