What Is A 2-In-1 Laptop?

The key difference between a touch screen laptop and a 2-in-1 laptop is the manoeuvrability of the keyboard. With a 2-in-1 laptop, you have greater flexibility to convert your laptop into a tablet. There are two different types of 2-in-1 laptops:

• Convertible laptop: where the keyboard remains attached to the screen but it can be folded/rotated out of the way
• Hybrid Laptop: the keyboard can be completely removed

When it comes to computing you can’t get much more flexible than a 2-in-1 laptop. Offering the exceptional portability of a lightweight tablet with the productivity powerhouse of a laptop they work well in the many different situations that life presents. If you’re frequently on the go you’ll appreciate being able to slip it into your bag and use it as a tablet on public transport. When it comes to blazing through intensive workloads, simply flip the keyboard back around and you're ready to go. These hybrid laptops also allow you to use them in a ‘standing’ position which is ideal when it comes to watching films or when you have to give a work presentation.

Perhaps one of the biggest reasons to buy a 2-in-1 laptop is the touch screen; a feature that gives these devices their unique character. If you prefer taking notes by hand, you’ll love the integrated S Pen; Samsung’s iconic stylus that enables you to write, draw and do so much more with your 2-in-1 laptop. You can find out more about the stunning S Pen stylus in our 'How to get the most out of your S Pen' guide.
