<\/a><\/h2>\nHybrids, convertibles, and two-in-ones<\/h2>\n
If you\u2019re on the fence about just how<\/em> mobile you want to go, a hybrid, convertible, or two-in-one might be right up your alley. These are all terms for the same type of device. Hybrids straddle the fence between PC and slate, offering laptop functionality when you need to get things done, and tablet-style form factors when you want to kick back and relax with a touchscreen.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll find two types of hybrids. \u201cLaptop-first\u201d convertibles (like the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11s or Dell XPS 12) are basically full-blown laptops but with screens that fold, flip, or rotate to convert to a flat laptop form factor. Thinner, lighter \u201ctablet-first\u201d hybrids have slide-out keyboards or are basically tablets with optional keyboard accessories.<\/p>\n Laptop-first hybrids carry a price premium over standard laptops, while tablet-first hybrids trade performance for mobility and often offer a subpar typing experience. The touchscreens found on all hybrids can also impact\u00a0Lenovo FRU 42T4819 Laptop Battery<\/b><\/a> life, especially if you aren\u2019t buying a newer model with an energy-efficient \u201cHaswell\u201d Core processor or \u201cBay Trail\u201d Atom CPU. And all hybrids are relatively big and thick compared to straightforward tablets, especially laptop-first variants.\u00a0Your arms will quiver and shake if you try lying down and holding a convertible over your face for an extended period of time. As such, hybrids are better suited for laps, even while in tablet mode.<\/p>\n So you don\u2019t want a two-in-one, you couldn\u2019t care less about the high-end frills of Ultrabooks, and you find Chromebooks too limited for your needs. Sounds like you\u2019re in the market for a laptop without a catchy marketing buzzword attached.<\/p>\nLaptops<\/h2>\n
