believes that users who are accustomed to using thin and light laptops will most likely switch to a 2-in-1 laptop for their next computer, because it is more convenient to carry, and the keyboard can be detached and used as a tablet. You can also use a stylus to point, write and draw on it. There are many more ways to play than a thin and light laptop.
So, which 2-in-1 laptops are currently available on the market to consider? Are each of them worth buying? This article lists 7 Windows version 2-in-1 laptops for you. I hope it will be helpful for you to choose a 2-in-1 laptop.
first model: Surface Pro 9
This two-in-one computer was launched by and Microsoft . It is relatively mature at present. Only their own products have the best compatibility with Windows systems. Of course, the price is also lower than that of . The more expensive one, the one I recommend is the version equipped with i7-1255U processor + 16GB memory + 256GB solid state, plus the keyboard and stylus set, the total price will be more than 14,000, but fortunately, there are occasional promotions with 2,177 off for purchases over 10,000, so the calculated price is 11,999.
For users with relatively well-off financial conditions, this price is completely acceptable, but for ordinary students, don’t consider it. The advantage of this two-in-one computer is that it has a very good screen. It is a high-resolution screen that supports 120Hz high refresh rate. The resolution is up to 2880*1920, which is a 3:2 productivity screen. The screen size is 13 inches, and the pixel density is as high as 267ppi. It is also equipped with 5200MHz LPDDR5 memory. When combined with a high-speed solid state drive, the performance is very smooth. The reason why
recommends the 16GB memory version to everyone is because the graphics card it uses is a core graphics card, which requires part of the memory capacity to be used as video memory. Ordinary 8GB memory may be more difficult to use, and because the memory is onboard, it is not convenient for later upgrades, otherwise it can save another budget. But there is no need to worry about the hard drive capacity. It has a Thunderbolt 4 interface. If the 256GB is not enough in the future, you can expand the mobile hard drive. Copying files is also very fast, so there is no shortage of memory.
Second model: ROG Magic The PCIE4.0 solid-state drive version, and more importantly, the RTX3050 independent graphics, comes with an original magnetic keyboard in the package, and the price is only 9969. In terms of cost performance, it is much higher than the first Surface Pro 9. The performance and heat dissipation of
ROG Magic In addition to the flaw in battery life,
ROG Magic
However, users who do not have very high requirements for this can also consider it. After all, it is equipped with standard pressure i7 and RTX3050 ray tracing independent graphics. It is quite good for playing slightly low-end 3D games or watching videos and dramas.
The third model: Surface Pro 8
In fact, judging from the current selling price, the price/performance ratio of Surface Pro 8 is really not as good as Surface Pro. 9. If you want the 16+256 version, even if you choose the i5-1135G7 processor plus a keyboard and stylus set, it will cost 12,376. This is obviously not as good as the first Surface Pro 9 recommended by the author, which is equipped with an i7-1255U+16GB+256GB, and the keyboard and stylus set is less than 12,000.
Moreover, the processor performance of Surface Pro 8 is generally not as good as Surface Pro 9, and the memory version is also slightly lower, so judging from the current price, choosing 8 is not as good as choosing 9. However, maybe by the time you read this article, the price of Surface Pro 8 has dropped. You can compare it with 9. If you can accept it, you can also consider buying Surface Pro 8.
The screen parameters of Surface Pro 8 are exactly the same as those of Surface Pro 9.
The fourth model: Lenovo Xiaoxin Duet
This two-in-one laptop has an i5-1235U processor and is equipped with 4266MHz LPDDR4x memory. Although it is not as good as LPDDR5, it is not bad, and its solid-state drive is PCIE4.0. Combined with the 12th generation i5 processor, the overall performance is not bad, and it also has a 12.4-inch 2.5K LCD screen.
But the only shortcoming is that its screen does not have a high refresh rate, only a 60Hz refresh rate, and it is an LCD screen, so the look and feel is slightly worse, but its price is still very attractive. The i5+16+512 version only costs 5999, and the sound effect is very good. The original comes with a keyboard, but the stylus needs to be purchased separately, but the overall budget required is much smaller than the first three models.
fifth model: Huawei MateBook E
This is the first 2-in-1 notebook released by Huawei in 2021. Compared with the fourth Lenovo Xiaoxin Duet, the screen is slightly better. The screen of MateBook E is a 12.6-inch 2.5K OLED screen, which also only has a 60Hz refresh rate, but the OLED screen will display smoother than the LCD screen.
So since it is a product released in 2021, the processor it is equipped with may be relatively inferior. It is the 11th generation Core low-power version, but the performance is sufficient. It is recommended to choose the version equipped with i7-1160G7. As time goes by, the price of this two-in-one notebook has also declined, and the i7+16+512 version only costs 6999.
takes into account its advantages in multi-screen collaboration. It also has an i7-1160G7 processor + OLED screen, and it also comes with an original magnetic keyboard. So even if it is 1,000 more expensive than the fourth Lenovo Xiaoxin Duet, I personally think it is acceptable. The experience is not much worse than the Surface Pro 8 and 9, which cost 10,000 yuan, and is even better in some aspects.
The sixth model: Huawei MateBook E Go
This is a two-in-one laptop launched by Huawei in 2022. Perhaps because the performance of the previous generation Huawei MateBook E equipped with an 11th generation Core low-power processor was not satisfactory, this generation of Huawei uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen2 processor, and the ARM version of Win11 is pre-installed, so there is no need to consider the issue of heat dissipation in such a tight body.
The MateBook E Go's screen has also been upgraded to support 120Hz high-refresh screen. Of course, it has also been replaced with an LCD screen that has a longer life and does not have to worry about screen burn-in. The ARM version of Win11 may not be as complete as the X86 architecture Win11 ecosystem. You cannot install whatever software you want, and you need to adapt the corresponding ARM version of the software.
However, a 2-in-1 computer with a configuration like the MateBook E Go cannot be used to do some relatively demanding work. It is already very good to be able to process some documents and can meet the needs of some users. The most important thing is that its price is very cheap. It can be purchased for 4,499. It can also be used to insert the LTE version of the SIM card. It also supports multi-screen collaboration with Huawei and Honor mobile phones.
The seventh model: ASUS Intrepid 2-in-1
This is the cheapest 2-in-1 computer in this article. It sells for just over 3,000, but its performance may not be very good because the processor it uses is the older Pentium series N6000, but this means that it is pre-installed with the X86 version of Windows system, so there is no need to worry about software compatibility issues.
In addition to slightly inferior processor performance, the memory used by the Intrepid 2-in-1 is still 4266MHz LPDDR4x, and the solid-state drive is also the PCIE4.0 version. Generally speaking, it is relatively balanced. More importantly, it also uses an OLED screen, but its OLED screen only has a 1080P resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate.
Generally speaking, it seems that buying an ASUS Fearless 2-in-1 is not as good as spending more than 3,000 on a tablet, so I don’t recommend it. However, some users who don’t have high requirements for performance and screen but have very high requirements for portability can still consider it. After all, it’s cheap.
If I want to say that the 2-in-1 laptop I recommend most in this article, it has to be Surface Pro 9. Although it is more expensive, it is also the most authentic. It can be said to be perfectly compatible with Win11, and all aspects of experience, configuration and workmanship are excellent. Microsoft has been deeply involved in 2-in-1 laptops and has accumulated a lot of technology over the years. Other manufacturers are a bit like becoming a monk halfway, so the control of details may not be as meticulous as Microsoft.
Surface Pro 9 is relatively expensive, and there may be a brand premium, but I think it should be worth the money. What do you think? Welcome to interact in a friendly manner in the comment area!
