Convertible laptops are different. They have a special hinge; thanks to that, they can be used as both a notebook and a tablet. 2-in-1s are suitable for numerous tasks and use cases, from private use in the living room and at the garden table to the education sector or professional environment, since convertibles are very suitable for presentations. The best convertibles Notebookcheck knows of are listed in this article.Sebastian Bade (translated by DeepL) Published 🇩🇪 🇹🇷 ...
Convertibles, also known as two-in-one laptops (2-in-1), are hybrids that can be used as both a laptop and a tablet. They can come in the form of a tablet with a separate keyboard, or as an old-school clamshell notebook with a 360-degree hinge.
In this article, we focus on 2-in-1 laptops, i.e. classic notebooks with a special display hinge allowing one to use them as tablets. Windows tablet PCs with detachable keyboards are covered in a separate article.
The table below is a list of the best convertible notebooks tested by Notebookcheck in the last 12 months, as well as other products that are relevant and 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. The most important factor is having a bright display so that the user does not have to accept any restrictions, even in difficult work conditions.
Due to their rather compact design, cooling very quickly reaches its limits under load, which is why many systems suffer from performance throttling as soon as 5-20 seconds into a stress test. Notebookcheck reviews include throttling checks, so please take a look if interested in any specific model.
1st Place - HP EliteBook X Flip G2i 14 AI
The HP EliteBook X Flip G2i 14 is designed for discerning business users looking for a high-quality and exceptionally flexible notebook. Thanks to its 360-degree hinge, this compact 14-inch laptop can be used not only as a traditional notebook but also in tablet, tent, or presentation modes. This gives the EliteBook a clear advantage for mobile users and versatile use cases. The high-quality chassis makes an excellent impression while remaining compact enough for everyday mobile use. Modern Intel hardware ensures high application performance and good efficiency. Depending on the configuration, a high-resolution touchscreen is also available, which effectively complements the convertible’s flexible use.
Its comprehensive business features include modern ports and numerous security functions. Input devices and portability are also among the strengths of the EliteBook X Flip G2i 14. Limitations arise primarily from the limited upgrade options. Overall, the HP EliteBook X Flip G2i 14 is a high-quality and versatile business convertible that convincingly combines performance, mobility, and flexibility.
2nd Place - Asus ProArt PZ14
The Asus ProArt PZ14 is an interesting alternative to traditional laptops and is aimed primarily at creative users with high demands for portability and display quality. This slim 14-inch tablet combines a high-quality chassis with a large OLED touchscreen and also supports precise input via stylus. This makes the ProArt PZ14 ideal for image editing, design, and other creative applications, among other things. An efficient Qualcomm platform delivers the necessary performance while also enabling long battery life. Its light weight and compact design make the device an attractive companion for on-the-go use. Modern AI features and Windows on ARM further expand its range of applications.
One of its greatest strengths is the high-resolution OLED display with vibrant colors and high contrast. Combined with the keyboard, the ProArt PZ14 can also be used as a mobile workstation. Limitations arise from the ARM platform and potential compatibility issues with certain applications.
3rd place - Lenovo Yoga 9 14 2in1 G10
The Yoga 9 14 2-in-1 Gen 10 is a powerful premium convertible. Its 14-inch OLED display with high resolution and touch offers brilliant colors and first-class image quality. Equipped with Intel Core Ultra processors from the Lunar Lake series, fast SSD and 32 GB of RAM, it delivered smooth multitasking and high performance in our testing. We also liked its high-quality aluminum casing, long battery life and features such as Dolby Atmos-branded speakers, fast enough Wi-Fi 6E and integrated fingerprint sensor.
4th place - Lenovo ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 10
The ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 G10 is a high-quality convertible for business use. It combines a slim, yet durable chassis with a 360-degree hinge, and comes equipped with Intel processors of the Lunar Lake generation. It further has a bright 14-inch display (optionally OLED) and extensive security features. Input devices are typical ThinkPad - precise and comfortable.
Despite its solid performance, the convertible remains quiet in use.
5th place - HP OmniBook Ultra Flip 14
The OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 sports elegant design, a high-resolution OLED display and a powerful Intel processor. Particularly noteworthy are its long battery life of up to 13 hours and modern features such as a 9 MP webcam with IR support.
As expected from a Lunar Lake-powered machine, the OmniBook has a dedicated NPU (Neural Processing Unit) for AI-supported applications, with Windows 11 itself being AI-enabled. The portable computer also offers a variety of ports and is designed with sustainability in mind, meaning recycled materials were used to make it.
6th place - Asus ZenBook Duo
The ZenBook Duo UX8407AA is a further development of the dual-screen concept. With this machine, two high-quality 14-inch OLED displays meet Intel's new Panther Lake platform, which provides noticeably more performance and good efficiency at the same time. The revised hinge significantly improves usability, as both screens are closer together now and can be used more naturally in both "book" and "regular work" modes. The high resolution and 144-Hz refresh rate make content look vivid and multitasking more pleasant than previous-gen models.
The magnetically attached keyboard offers good typing experience, and is complemented by a precise stylus. Despite featuring two large displays, the device impresses with surprisingly good battery life in real-world use. Connectivity such as Thunderbolt 4 and fast Wi-Fi is naturally present; soldered RAM, higher-than-desired weight and the lack of a card reader are the system's notable drawbacks.. The EU model comes without a charger in the box. Either way, the UX8407 is a strong option as well as one of the most sophisticated dual-screen convertibles in its class.
7th Place - Asus ProArt PX13
The ProArt PX13 is the perfect solution for creative users looking for high performance in the most compact and portable form factor possible. This 13-inch convertible combines a high-quality chassis with modern AMD Strix Halo hardware, making it suitable for both mobile use and demanding creative applications. The built-in Ryzen AI Max+ 388 offers high CPU performance and powerful integrated Radeon graphics, allowing the ProArt PX13 to excel even at more computationally and graphically intensive tasks. Another highlight is the high-resolution OLED touchscreen in a 16:10 aspect ratio. The high image quality, with vivid colors and deep blacks, really shines during image and video editing. Thanks to the 360-degree hinge, the device can also be used flexibly as a traditional laptop or in tablet mode.
Despite its powerful hardware, the ProArt PX13 remains comparatively compact and portable. Modern ports and a comprehensive feature set further enhance its suitability for everyday use. Limitations arise primarily in terms of upgrade options and the limited space available for high-performance cooling. Overall, the Asus ProArt PX13 is an exciting choice for creatives looking for a particularly compact OLED convertible with high CPU and graphics performance.
8th place - HP EliteBook 8 Flip G1i 13
The EliteBook 8 Flip G1i 13 proved to be a versatile business notebook in Notebookcheck's tests. It can be used both as a classic laptop and as a tablet thanks to its 360-degree hinge.
Its compact 13-inch display, bright and colorful, is driven by Intel's fresh Core Ultra 7 265U SoC that delivers solid performance and features an integrated NPU which efficiently supports AI-enabled apps.
The machine's high-quality casing, quiet cooling and good input devices all make for a professional user experience. In addition, there are extensive security functions and modern connectivity with Wi-Fi 7 and versatile connections. Despite its compact design, the battery offers good battery life so that the EliteBook can be used reliably on the go.

The Yoga 7 14 2-in-1 Gen10 combines flexibility and performance in a single elegant package. Its brilliant 14-inch OLED touch display with a 2.8K resolution, 120 Hz and 100 percent DCI-P3 delivers sharp images and rich colors. Modern Intel Core Ultra processors (258V-powered SKU tested) with integrated Intel Arc graphics ensure solid performance, supported by fast LPDDR5X RAM and speedy SSD storage.
Highlights include Wi-Fi 7, versatile connections including Thunderbolt 4, good speakers, a high-resolution 5 MP webcam with a privacy shutter, slim aluminum housing and long battery life.
10th place - HP OmniBook X Flip 16
The 2025 OmniBook X Flip 16 is a powerful 2-in-1 notebook. Thanks to its 360-degree hinge, it is particularly suitable for creative tasks, presentations or use on the go.
