Ranking: Best Windows tablets and detachables reviewed by Notebookcheck
Windows on smartphones has failed, but the OS continues to play a key role on PCs. Solo tablets with Windows (without a keyboard) are hardly offered on the market anymore, or the usage concept of these tablets is designed for a docking keyboard (Surface Pro). For this reason, this top 10 list only includes 2-in-1 devices that consist of a tablet and docking keyboard, also known as detachables. All "Yoga-like" devices, i.e. laptops with a screen that can be folded 360 degrees, are not included in our list of the best 2-in-1 laptops to find.

Note: The switch to a new rating system took place in June 2024 . In the new v8 rating, the criteria were adapted to current hardware developments, new points were added and individual measurement methods were changed. As a result, the v8 ratings are slightly lower than under v7. The new v8 rating is not directly comparable with previous versions. For this reason, we are listing two tables with the best devices according to v7 and v8 rating here for the time being. Further information on the new v8 rating can be found here.

Editorial comment
If you want Windows on your tablet, you don't want to get stuck in the first app you come across due to a lack of performance. True to this solution, the market now offers almost all devices with real SSDs and Core-i processors (with/without fans). Core-m/Y- proved to be a kind of intermediate solution, which is preferably found in detachables (HP Spectre Folio, Surface Pro 6 i5,...), which are supposed to work even more economically, without a fan and with longer runtimes.
All the models mentioned here in the top list claim to offer notebook performance, at least approximately. The crux of the matter is that the Core i systems very often throttle their clock rate significantly after 5-20 seconds at maximum performance in order not to exceed certain thermal limits. Here you should read our respective tests carefully.
Rating Version 8:
1st place - Asus ProArt PZ13
The Asus ProArt PZ13 is a powerful tablet and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus X1P-42-100 processor. Asus also installs 16 GB of RAM and an SSD with 1 TB of storage space.

Rating Version 7:
1st place - Microsoft Surface Pro 8
With the Surface Pro 8 microsoft wants to win over even more customers and even compete with Apple. In our in-depth test, we have shed light on whether the Microsoft Surface Pro 8 is better than the iPad Pro.
Equipped with the Intel Core i7-1185G7, the SoC is based on the latest Tiger Lake architecture. The model also has 16 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD. It's great to work with. The implementation of Thunderbolt 4 is probably the biggest innovation in addition to the improved design. Both USB-C interfaces support the fast data connection and therefore expand the range of applications enormously. It is worth mentioning that the SSD is still interchangeable, which means you don't have to commit to a specific size when buying. The display offers a good size in 3:2 format and is not inferior to the competition thanks to 120 Hz.
The Microsoft Surface Pro 8 offers many improvements over its predecessor thanks to the new display with 120 Hz, Thunderbolt 4 and the revised design.
You need to know the disadvantages of the Surface Pro 8 and weigh up for yourself how important these points are to you. The slightly poorer battery life compared to its predecessor is probably the biggest disadvantage here.
2nd place - Asus ROG Flow Z13
The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a 13-inch tablet with enormous performance. The compact device uses an Intel Core i9-13900H together with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 laptop GPU. Overall, the Asus ROG Flow Z13 was not only able to impress with its pure performance, which puts the tablet right at the top of our Top 10. Useful features and a great display are just some of the points that contributed to the great result.
3rd place - Dell Latitude 13 7320
The new Dell Latitude 13 7320 impresses with its solid performance and good display. In addition, the Tiger Lake SoC features a fast iGPU that works significantly faster than the previous generation. All in all, the Dell Latitude 13 7320 is Dell's fastest Windows tablet. The 16 GB of RAM fits the tablet just as well as the fast NVMe SSD.
The minimalist design and good features make the Dell a great device.
The Dell Latitude 13 7320 Detachable is listed in the Dell Shop listed. The device can currently be ordered there for 2,390 euros.
4th place - Minisforum V3
With the Minisforum V3 the Chinese manufacturer is the first ever to install AMD's Hawk Point APU in a Windows tablet. Specifically, it is an AMD Ryzen 7 840U with 32 GB RAM and a 1 TB SSD. In the test, the tablet impressed with great performance. The display of the Minisforum V3 is also impressive and with its high color fidelity, the tablet is also suitable for professional use. In addition to the tablet, the scope of delivery also includes a keyboard cover and a magnetic back cover. We were also able to test the stylus, which is only available as an optional accessory. On the connectivity side, the Minisforum V3 is minimally equipped, although two USB4 ports offer sufficient scope for expansion.
5th place - Microsoft Surface Go 3
With the Surface Go 3 microsoft has a very affordable Windows tablet in its portfolio. As with the larger Surface tablets, the workmanship is impeccable and the choice of materials also leaves little room for criticism. Visually, the Surface Go 3 has not changed compared to the Go 2. Technically, however, the device is up to date and offers useful features, such as the IR camera with Windows Hello support.
In the test, the 10-inch device impressed with a very high-quality screen including high color space coverage. In terms of performance, the passively cooled tablet with the Intel Core i3-10100Y offers better performance if you rely purely on the technical data. However, the Surface Go3 was not able to significantly outperform the Surface Go 2 in the test.
The Microsoft Surface Go is a very high-quality Windows tablet with a low entry-level price by Surface standards. However, the relatively expensive accessories could put some buyers off.
The battery life is good, although too short for a full working day. However, the silent cooling unit makes the Surface Go interesting. The company is staying true to its line here, as the Surface Go 2 also offered a passive cooling unit. However, you shouldn't be blinded by the relatively low purchase price, as the Signature Type Cover or the Surface Pen will quickly push the price up.
6th place - Microsoft Surface Pro X
The Microsoft Surface Pro X is based on an ARM processor for the first time and is therefore ideally suited for mobile use. This is also underpinned by the use of an LTE modem. Microsoft typically packs everything into a very high-quality casing, and the 3:2 screen is of course a must. The device works silently and even the SSD can now be easily replaced. The good front camera, the keyboard dock and the stylus round off the package nicely.
