Ranking: Best Windows tablets and detachables reviewed by Notebookcheck
Windows for smartphones failed, but with PCs, Windows still is king.
Considering Windows-powered tablet PCs that have no keyboard in the box are extremely uncommon, this top 10 list only includes 2-in-1 devices that consist of a tablet and a docking keyboard, also known as detachables. All "Yoga-like" devices, i.e. laptops with a screen that can be folded all the way back, can be found in the following article: Best 2-in-1 laptops.

Editorial comment
Those wishing to have Windows at their fingertips, on their lap, hardly want to get stuck opening a Web browser or any other basic app due to poor performance. Thankfully, electronics makers know this, and there is no shortage of models with full-fledged SSDs and proper Intel Core, AMD Ryzen or Qualcomm Snapdragon X processors, both with and without fans, on the market. Core M and Core Y power-class chips proved to be a reasonable middle ground, power-saving, able to function without a fan and delivering longer runtimes.
All models listed here in the article aspire to be close to laptops, performance-wise. It isn't uncommon for Windows tablets to suffer from thermal clock speed throttling mere seconds into a stress test; for details like that, consider reading the full reviews.
1st place - Asus ProArt PZ13
The ProArt PZ13 is a powerful tablet running a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus X1P-42-100 processor, which is mated to 16 GB of RAM and a 1-TB SSD. The tablet's extremely high-quality casing is perfectly finished while also being extremely stable and rigid, helping make the tablet a great everyday companion. The ProArt's great OLED screen has accurate colors; connectivity is also impressive, with 2 modern USB 4 ports. A keyboard cover and stylus come included in the box.
2nd place - Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Detachable G2
The ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2 is a powerful 2-in-1 device combining the mobility of a tablet with the functionality of a business notebook. The detachable 12.3-inch touchscreen with Full HD+ resolution is driven by fresh new Core Ultra processors with integrated Intel graphics. Supported by up to 32 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and a fast PCIe SSD, the device offers enough power for demanding office and multitasking tasks while remaining power-efficient.
Its casing is made out of robust magnesium-aluminum alloy, and will work very well for business use. In terms of connectivity, the X12 Detachable G2 scores plus points with Wi-Fi 6E, Thunderbolt 4 and optional 5G. An IR-enabled webcam and a fingerprint sensor enable secure biometric unlocking.
3rd place - Dell Latitude 7350
The Latitude 7350 with Intel's Core Ultra 7 164U SoC aims to be a high-quality business tablet. Equipped with the efficient and powerful Meteor Lake CPU, the Latitude delivers strong performance for typical work tasks such as office applications, moderate multitasking and Web-based applications. Its slim and robust casing as well as high-resolution display offer comfortable use, even on the move. Overall, the Dell Latitude 7350 scores highly in terms of performance, mobility and features, making it a reliable choice for business users looking for a powerful, portable PC.
The availability of the SKU we tested is limited at this writing, but other SKUs (different SSD capacity, et cetera) are available.
4th place - Dell Latitude 7030 Rugged Extreme
The Latitude 7030 Rugged Extreme is a rugged system designed for use in extreme environments. With its robust housing and certifications for shock, dust and water resistance, it can withstand the tough conditions and is ideal for outdoor use, for example in industry, construction or emergency services. The Intel Core i7-1260U CPU offers solid performance for everyday work, easily handling multitasking and applications of the more demanding kind. The bright display's contents are easy to read even in direct sunlight, and the keyboard is designed to be comfortable to use even in low light conditions.

5th place - Chuwi Hi10 Max
The Hi10 Max is an affordable 2-in-1 tablet suitable for simple tasks such as Web surfing, watching videos online, and office applications. Its Intel N100 processor offers enough power for basic applications, but the system is not designed for demanding multitasking or computing-intensive programs. Its 10.1-inch IPS display impresses with good colors and decent brightness, ideal for media consumption. The Hi10 Max's slim design and low weight make travelling with the tablet easy. The touchscreen and keyboard are usable, but not ideal for prolonged work due to their small dimensions.
Battery life is solid overall, but only good for a few hours of intensive use. Overall, the Chuwi Hi10 Max is an inexpensive option for users who are looking for a versatile tablet for everyday use and want value for money.
In Germany, the Chuwi tablet is orderable directly from Chuwi Store.
6th place - Alldocube iWork GT Ultra
The iWork GT Ultra is a versatile Windows convertible with a powerful Intel Core Ultra 5 125H, which is particularly suitable for productivity work and multimedia use. The system's 13-inch IPS display with 2.5K resolution is sharp, but fairly imperfect otherwise. Various ways to do work and have fun are possible thanks to the detachable keyboard cover and stylus.
Connectivity is impressive and includes full-size USB ports. Build quality is good, but speakers are weak; still, the device offers good value for money despite the compromises.
