Ranking: Best convertibles (2-in-1 laptops)
Convertibles, also known as two-in-one (2-in-1), are hybrids that can be used as both a laptop and a tablet. There are many different types: either as a docking tablet on a keyboard base or as a clamshell chassis with a 360-degree hinge.
In this overview, we will focus on notebook convertibles or 2-in-1 laptop convertibles, i.e. classic notebooks that fold down their display using a special hinge mechanism and can therefore also be used as a tablet. Windows tablet PCs with a dockable keyboard or convertible notebooks with a detachable display (detachables) can be found in a separate top list.

Note: We transitioned to a new rating system in June 2024. In the new v8 system, some criteria were adapted to current hardware developments, new points were added and certain measurement techniques were changed. As a result, v8 ratings are slightly lower than v7 ratings and not directly comparable with previous versions. Further information on the new v8 rating can be found here.
The table above shows an overview of the best convertible notebooks tested by Notebookcheck in the last 12 months and relevant products that are still available. If several products have the same rating, the newer review will be listed higher. Link: all tested products in this class
Editorial comment
Convertibles combine the advantages of a tablet and a conventional laptop. True to this solution, the market offers a wide range of devices. The most important criterion is a bright, anti-glare display so that the user does not have to accept any restrictions, even in difficult operating conditions. The general system performance benefits immensely from the latest Intel SoCs. However, due to the rather compact design, cooling very quickly reaches its limits under load, which is why the Core i systems very often drastically reduce performance after 5-20 seconds. We address this specifically in the individual tests - so it's worth taking a look. SSDs are indispensable, as they are not only very fast, but also require very little space in the case, which in turn benefits battery.
