3 of the best 2-in-1 laptops available now
The best two-in-one devices offer versatility like no other laptop. The devices like the Surface Pro 8 offer a super-flexible work environment where you can type on the go and detach the display when needed. The segment is growing lately because people value flexibility in getting work done. The best two-in-one laptops help you do more than a traditional laptop without a significant increase in size, weight or price.
Most two-in-ones are convertible laptops, with hinges where the keyboard and trackpad can fold or rotate around to the back of the display; others are essentially a tablet with a detachable keyboard.
Here are three of the best two-in-one laptops you can buy now.
HP Spectre x360 14
Best small 2-in-1 with a 3:2 display
Starting at $1,520
Co-engineered with Intel for its Evo platform, the Spectre x360 14 we tested had zippy performance and more than 14 hours of battery life. Along with an assortment of privacy features, it is the best touchscreen laptop that has a bright 1,920-by-1,280-pixel-resolution, 13.5-inch touchscreen display with a 3:2 screen ratio that is roughly the same as a standard sheet of paper and has about 20% more vertical viewing space than a 16:9 display. That means you do less scrolling when you’re working. It also makes it more comfortable to use as a tablet, especially with the included active pen.
Lenovo Yoga 9i
Best 2-in-1 with 14- and 15.6-inch displays
Starting at $1,480
Whether you go with the 14- or 15.6-inch touchscreen 9i model, you’re getting the best features Lenovo offers in a consumer two-in-one. That includes things like a clear display; speakers that you’ll actually want to use; Thunderbolt 4 for power (on the 14-inch model), speedy data transfers and external display support; faster integrated graphics and the option for discrete graphics on the 15.6-inch unit; and an included active pen stored in the laptop. And this convertible laptop has a sturdy but lightweight metal body that can be used in laptop or tablet mode.
Microsoft Surface Pro 8
Best detachable 2-in-1
Starting at $948
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 laptop. Microsoft recently overhauled it for the Surface Pro 8, which has a larger 13-inch display, 11th-gen Intel Core processors and two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports; accessories are sold separately. 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.
