Ranking: Best convertibles (2-in-1 laptops)
December 2025 update.
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.

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 rating points were introduced and certain measurement techniques were modified. As a result, v8 ratings are slightly lower than v7 ratings and not directly comparable with previous versions. Further information on v8 ratings can be found here.
The table above is an overview of the best convertible notebooks tested by Notebookcheck in the last 12 months, as well as other (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. 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 G1i 14 AI
The EliteBook X Flip G1i 14 AI is a versatile business convertible with a 14-inch 1200p touch display. It uses Intel Core Ultra 200V processors with integrated NPUs for AI-powered tasks.

2nd place - HP Envy x360 2-in-1 14
The Envy x360 2-in-1 14 is a versatile and powerful convertible notebook. Thanks to its 360-degree hinge, the touch-enabled machine easily switches between laptop, tablet, tent and presentation modes. Powered by the latest Intel Core 100-series U-class processors, 16 GB of RAM and a fast PCIe SSD, the Envy is suitable for a variety of tasks. Its great 14-inch 1800p OLED screen supports pen input, and displays colors accurately.
HP's Envy x360 2-in-1 14 is a versatile convertible with low emissions and a great OLED display.
A Core Ultra 5 125U-powered SKU is available from NBB for around 900 euros in Germany, but it's not the one Notebookcheck tested as it features a 60-Hz IPS display. SKUs featuring an OLED display cost 999 euros in Germany and have a more powerful 155U CPU.

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 - Dell Latitude 7450 2-in-1

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.

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.

Its 13.4-inch display with 180 Hz and 16:10 format delivers sharp images and smooth motion. The ROG Flow does not fall short when it comes to color profiles, either and is therefore suitable for professional use.
The product is powered by AMD's latest-and-greatest Strix Halo APU (the Ryzen AI Max+ 395) and its an enormously powerful iGPU. At just 1.6 kg, the Z13 is lightweight and versatile, aided by an integrated kickstand. The detachable RGB-backlit keyboard offers good typing experience.
