Lenovo Yoga 9i

Powerful, stylish 2-in-1 that can go the distance CPU : 11th Generation Intel Core i3 i7 | Graphics: Intel Iris Xe Graphics | RAM: up to 16 GB LPDDR4X | Screen: 14.0" FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS, glossy with Dolby Vision 14.0" UHD

If you want a high-performance 2-in-1 laptop that will keep going long after its rivals have given up, the Intel Evo-certified Lenovo Yoga 9i is the best 2-in-1 laptop for you. The price of entry here isnt what you would categorize as cheap, but given the power, battery life, and premium features, its actually quite reasonably priced. This means that youre getting a lot of
value for paying just a bit more. Among those noteworthy features are the rechargeable Lenovo Active Pen, its reasonably-quick pen charging dock built-in on the laptop, and its great sound.

Of course, its performance is phenomenal. Its capable of handling just about anything you can throw at it thanks to the 11th-gen Intel Core processors and the Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics powering it. Its displays 16:9 aspect ratio may be a bit of an acquired taste and give you less room to work with, but its not a big deal-breaker.

IdeaPad Duet Chromebook

Everything that netbooks should have been CPU: MediaTek Helio P60T Processor
| Graphics: ARM G72 MP3 800GHz | RAM: 4 GB LPDDR4X | Screen: 10.1" FHD (1920
x 1200) IPS, glossy, touchscreen, 400 nits | Storage: Storage: 64 GB eMMC Lightweight and portable Long battery life Very affordable Tiny keyboard and finicky trackpad Charger and headphones share a single port

Is it a Chromebook or is it a tablet? Well, luckily, you wont have to decide. True to its name, the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook delivers two form
factors in one while keeping the price unbelievably low. In fact, if youre looking for a budget option, this is the best 2-in-1 laptop for you. This Chromebook utilizes the versatility of the Chrome OS while you back much less than many of the top Windows tablets out there.

Of course, true to its Chromebook nature, its battery packs an incredibly
long life of almost 22 hours you could pull an all-nighter, work through the day and mid-afternoon, and youll still pass out before it runs out of juice. For this price, sacrifices have to be made, naturally the keyboard is tiny, the trackpad isnt as reliable, and the charger and headphones share one port. However, if budget is your top priority, this has to be your top choice.

The Dell XPS line has been upping the ante in the world of portables since
its launch, and that hasnt changed years later. It has now penetrated the premium game, forcing its budget-conscious fans to look for cheaper alternatives, but that higher price tag is more than justified considering this laptops build, features, and prowess. The Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 (2020) remains to be among the best laptops right now, touting more versatility thanks to its hybrid design. We love this laptop so much, wed get it just for the pleasure of using it. But, if that price is holding you back, let us assure you: this is worth paying extra for.

Its absolutely stellar battery life, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, plenty of storage, and quiet operation are among the most noteworthy features here. As is its bright and vibrant display thats just a pleasure to use in tablet mode as it is in traditional laptop mode.

A fantastic 2-in-1 laptop CPU: 10th-generation Intel Core i5 i7 | Graphics: Intel Iris Plus Graphics | RAM: 8GB 16GB | Screen: 13.5" (2256 x 1504) 3:2 touchscreen display | Storage: 256GB 512GB SSD Fantastic battery life 3:2 display perfect for note-taking Feature rich stylus included 3:2 display not ideal for 16:9 video Bloatware includes desktop pop-up ads

A great feature set definitely adds a lot of value, and if youre looking for the best 2-in-1 laptops, thats one thing to keep an eye out for. Its that
kind of feature set combined with its affordability that makes the Acer Spin
5 (2020) a terrific candidate. This 2-in-1 laptop isnt just versatile due to its form factors and fantastic battery life. It also comes with a 3:2 display and a feature-rich stylus that together give it that extra advantage for students and professionals over its rivals: an easy and seamless note-taking experience. If youre one of those folks who have a contempt for typing up notes in class, this old-school approach might just seal the deal.

Of course, that just-under-12-hours battery life is a bonus, and the fast stylus charging that gives you about 90 minutes of use for 15 or 20 seconds
of charging is a boon. Finally, that stellar performance is impressive considering its affordable price.

An excellent 2-in-1 CPU: 11th Gen Intel Core i5 i7 | Graphics: Intel Iris Xe Graphics | RAM: up to 24 GB DDR4 3200MHz | Screen: 14.0 FHD (1920 x 1080)
IPS, glossy, touchscreen, 300 nits | Storage: up to 1TB PCIe SSD Great performance Garaged stylus Battery life is just OK

Lenovos latest release, the ThinkBook 14S Yoga, is a solid and affordable convertible that comes with some great features and terrific performance.
Even though admittedly, it isnt perfect, theres a lot to love here, starting with its great price-to-performance ratio. Youll appreciate the specs behind that power that 11th-gen Intel Core chip and Intel Iris Xe graphics inside will ensure that itll see you through even arduous tasks. And, although that coveted 2-in-1 design may come standard on every hybrid, for example, its garaged pen is not, making it a boon to those who tend to lose small peripherals. Plus, its webcam shutter is there to protect your privacy.

Sadly, that battery life is no match to the competition. It falls just shy of the nine hour mark, which means that you should take your charger with you if youre clocking in a full work or school day. Still, for the price youre paying, this is among the best 2-in-1 laptops out there.

Powerful performance if not the most comfortable CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7 / 11th-generation Intel Core i5 i7 | Graphics: AMD Radeon / Intel Iris Xe Graphics | RAM: 8GB - 16GB | Screen: 15.6" diagonal 4K UHD, UWVA,
BrightView, AMOLED 15.6" diagonal FHD, IPS, micro-edge, WLED-backlit | Storage: up to 256 GB Intel SSD + 16 GB Intel Optane memory Best-in-class performance Exceptional battery life Fantastic price Tablet mode a bit unwieldy No docked stylus

The HP Envy x360 15 (2021) is nearly in a class in its own right, a 2-in-1 laptop that combines impressive CPU and GPU power with an elegant yet robust design, a stunning display, and outstanding battery life all for an incredible price. In fact, if you dont want to spend a fortune, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better value for a 2-in-1. Especially when youre already getting best-in-class performance. Its huge collection of ports make it an even better value. If you have a few peripherals in your arsenal, you wont find its connectivity options lacking.

Its not the most comfortable to use as a tablet, however. Because its on the heavier side, it doesnt offer the best tablet mode experience. However, the positives far outweigh these points for us, especially because even the most premium contenders on this list arent perfect, so its easy to forgive this laptop for that.

An extremely premium piece of kit CPU: 10th Gen Intel Core i5-1035G7 i7-1065G7 | Graphics: Intel Iris Plus Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti with Max-Q Design | RAM: 8GB 32GB 3733Mhz LPDDR4x | Screen: 13.5-inch 3000 x 2000 (267 PPI) 15-inch 3240 x 2160 (260 PPI) PixelSense Display | Storage: 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, or 2TB PCIe SSD Beautiful design Comfortable keyboard Gorgeous screen Weak U-series processor Tiny trackpad Lackluster speakers

In many ways, the Surface Book 3 is an example of just how far the best laptops have come in just a few short years. It has an extremely premium
piece of kit, starting with its display, which is one of the best displays weve used in a laptop. That PixelSense display looks amazing and vibrant,
with a 3:2 aspect ratio is a godsend for working. Other features worth mentioning here are a keyboard that will put the MacBook Pros new Magic Keyboards to shame, and a hybrid design with a removable screen.

This follow-up to the outstanding Surface Book 2 is truly one of the best 2-in-1 laptops 2021 has to offer. Unfortunately, its somewhat held back by a weaker processor (next to its rivals), lacklust speakers and a high price
tag. Also, youll have to take that charger with you everywhere. Still, its an excellent portable, if youve got the money for it.
