If meetings, presentations and brainstorming sessions are a part of your job, a 2-in-1 is a good option for you. Operating the device as a tablet makes it easier to use on site or to take down notes in meetings and lectures. Some 2-in-1s are compatible with a pen and a whole host of other 2-in-1 accessories, such as keyboards, mice and monitors, to make working easier. Couple your machine with a projector for presentations in front of a larger audience or use it while in tent mode for smaller displays and brainstorming sessions. If you prefer to use a full-size keyboard, the screen will also be closer to you, making it easier to see because you can detach the laptop keyboard or fold it away.

Using a 2-in-1 in tent mode is useful to view recipes, take courses, and watch videos. In tablet mode, you can use them to take notes, read, and play games. As a laptop, you can use them to work on a spreadsheet, online banking, blogging, and various other administrative tasks in addition to all the things a laptop can typically do. You can even attach an external CD/DVD/BLU-RAY drive for movie night. With a compatible pen, you or your kids can draw and write freehand when using the 2-in-1 in tablet or tent mode.

For basic use, an Intel® i3 processor works just fine. But if you need to run many programs at one or run an application that requires a lot of power, one of the Intel® i7 laptops may work better. The newer 8th gen laptops and higher run better than older generations. If you want a more powerful device but within a specific price range, choosing a later generation will still give you an upgrade if you have been using an older machine. A detachable 2-in-1 allows you to separate the keyboard and screen. A convertible 2-in-1 will enable you to fold and position the device to use as a laptop or tablet in various modes. A range of brands and sizes are also available. There is an option for every need.
