MICROSOFT SURFACE LAPTOP STUDIO 2
With the appearance of a traditional clamshell,
this laptop’s innovative hinge lets the
screen slide face-up onto the keyboard to
form a tablet. The device sports a 14.3-inch
touchscreen and is compatible with Microsoft’s
optional Surface Slim Pen for handwriting
recognition. Inside is a powerful Intel Core i7
processor and the option of NVIDIA graphics.
ASUS ZENBOOK DUO
With two 14-inch OLED touchscreens,
this laptop offers the choice of typing on
glass or using the included detachable full-size
keyboard, which attaches to one screen using
magnets. The Zenbook can also act as a
dual-screen display to boost productivity.
MICROSOFT SURFACE PRO
(11TH EDITION) COPILOT+ PC
A “kickstand” lets this 13-inch tablet stand
upright, but to use it like a laptop requires
the optional detachable Surface Pro keyboard
(and it supports the Surface Slim Pen 2).
Keep in mind, it features a Snapdragon
processor. Alternatively, the Microsoft Surface
Pro 10 for Business features an Intel Core
Ultra 5 or 7 processor that supports all
Windows applications.
ASUS CHROMEBOOK PLUS CM34 FLIP
Running Google’s ChromeOS, the
Chromebook’s 14-inch laptop screen folds
back onto the keyboard for use in tablet mode.
It also features a “garaged” slot for storing
the optional stylus.
DELL INSPIRON 14 2-IN-1 LAPTOP
APPLE IPAD PRO
This 14-inch laptop features a hinge that
lets the screen fold all the way back onto
the keyboard, plus it comes with the Dell
Active Pen. It has an Intel Core processor,
but it is only a mid-range model, so it is
not a multimedia powerhouse.
Running Apple’s iOS, this 11- or 13-inch tablet
supports the optional Apple Pencil or Apple
Pencil Pro. Apple’s Magic Keyboard for iPad
Pro can hold up the tablet to mimic a laptop,
or you can choose from a range of third-party
keyboard cases.
