The Best Stylus Convertibles

If you are tired of the suboptimal displays or need particularly accurate colors, the AMOLED display of the IdeaPad Duet 5 is a strong argument.

In the USA, users can order Lennovo IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook via Amazon, prices starting at $394.50.

The Dell XPS 13 9315 is slim and light with a high battery life.

The device has one drawback. As with many devices, the matching stylus is only sold separately. And that is not easy at all, because the four different purchase options give different information about the compatibility. According to the product description, the Active Pen PN5122W should work, but according to Dell's compatibility list, only the more expensive Dell Premier pen fits, and there is also the XPS pen, which only fits XPS 13 2-in-1 laptops.

The XPS 13 9315 2-in-1 became widely available on November 14. You can find the device on Dell's official store where prices start at $999 without keyboard dock and pen. Amazon US also lists a variant of XPS 13 9315 with prices starting at around $1,252 with keyboard and no pen.

Samsung delivers a quiet, mobile work device with the Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 that convinces with its 360-degree display.

As a convertible, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga does a great job. However, due to its thin case it cannot keep up with other convertibles in regard to connectivity and performance.

If you are looking for a particularly thin, robust, and lightweight convertible the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga might be a good choice. And while more powerful SKUs exist they cannot do much to alleviate the laptop’s other flaws.

In the US, users can order the device via Amazon for around $1,149.

Lenovo’s ThinkPad Pro stylus is significantly thinner than other pencils and therefore more strenuous to hold in hand. In return it is easier to store inside a device such as the ThinkPad X1 Yoga.

It supports a solid 2,048 pressure points which are decent but nothing to write home about and features two buttons, one on each side. Its battery should last up to 130 minutes according to Lenovo, and the stylus is charged when inserted into the case.

The Dell Latitude 9000 series acts as a flagship and the Latitude 9330 also provides no reason to deny that. The build quality and stability of the device are outstanding among 13-inch convertibles and left a long-lasting and reliable impression on us.

With a 12th generation Intel Core i7-1260U, 16 GB LPDDR5 RAM and a 512 GB NVMe SSD, the convertible is well equipped. Unfortunately, it is also true for this laptop that those looking for the AdobeRGB color space do not need to read any further here. Only sRGB is fully covered by the monitor of the 2-in-1 laptop. On the other hand, the color deviations of the display are particularly small when it is provided with the ICC profile that we created in the review.

Despite some mixed features, the Dell Latitude 9330 2-in-1 is our top recommendation among business convertibles, as it will certainly be a good companion for several years.

As with many Dell convertibles, the problem here is that the manufacturer does not include the stylus and the compatibility information is confusing. According to the spec sheet, the rechargeable active Dell Premier stylus, among others, fits the laptop here.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga G7 has received a major update and with the 16:10 display, the device comes in handy for many users. In addition, the Alder Lake SoC is a powerful and at the same time modern processor, which comes with a fast iGPU in the form of Intel's Iris Xe. The 14-inch display supports pen input and thus gives creativity free rein.

The pen is part of the scope of delivery and is stored in the device. On its website, Lenovo states that the Lenovo Active Pen 2 is also compatible with the device, but it cannot be stowed in the device.

An AMOLED display and a whole range of strong features packed into a thin case. The result is a convertible with pen input and plenty of power that shows a slim format is compatible with everyday performance, although the Galaxy Book Pro 360 does suffer from heat buildup at times. Thanks to the flat design, the 2-in-1 laptop almost feels like one in tablet mode in the hands. Thus, pen input is also very pleasant. The S Pen is also included here.

The Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 is an exceptionally versatile everyday companion with a high performance and many technically sophisticated refinements. The notebook's weaknesses are due to its flat build.

In summary, the slim Galaxy Book Pro 360 is an eye-catcher with performance that is appropriate for the circumstances. Samsung still manages to install a generous battery in the convertible. Eleven hours without a power adapter are possible without problems for the Galaxy Book Pro 360.

In the US, Amazon lists a variant which equipped with a Core i7-1165G7 and 16 GB of RAM, prices starting at $1,179.

Good for education with low requirements, rather bad for everything else: The Asus ExpertBook B3000.

At the time of writing, the ExpertBook B3 Detachable can be order through Amazon US for $589.33.

The Latitude 9430 2-in-1 has done a lot right and only has a few weaknesses that should not be a problem for most users.

Besides the screen, the strengths are primarily the computing power and the battery life. The weak points of the device are rather the low repairability of the 2-in-1 laptop.

At the time of writing, the Dell Latitude 9430 2-in-1 can be configured on Dell's official store, prices starting at $1,939. Users can also order a Core i7-1265U variant at Amazon US for $1,899.99.

Asus’s ExpertBook B7 Flip is a well-rounded 2-in-1 premium business notebook.

It also features a great display, great performance, and great battery life. Unsurprisingly, it scored very well overall.

The Asus ExpertBook B7 Flip is not available in North America.
