Convertible / 2-in-1

It's creaky. Last year, MSI introduced the Prestige 16 laptop featuring the Core Ultra 155H processor. Now, an AMD-powered A16 variant has arrived, equipped with a Ryzen 9 processor and an NPU (Copilot+), priced at €1,599. This new model makes a significant leap forward in performance. However, the AMD version isn't without its trade-offs compared to its Intel counterpart. Here's a closer look!

Small battery long runtime. Chromebooks don't need a lot of power to meet the demands of everyday use reliably. A battery with 29 Wh is enough for the economical device to run for 12 hours. However, the robust Chromebook Duet 11 also shows surprising strengths in other areas.

Chromebook and Convertible. This works well together and covers many areas of use. The Lenovo 2-in-1 laptop also serves as a powerful tablet with pen input and is fully compatible with many Android apps, featuring a strong Intel Core processor. With Gemini, the user also has a versatile AI at their side.

Extra-long battery life with ARM. The IdeaPad 5 2-in-1 14Q8X9 is one of the least expensive convertibles available running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus processor. However, its performance leaves a lot to be desired even after accounting for the low starting price.

Now a Copilot+ PC. Samsung has given its large 16-inch Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 convertible the latest Lunar Lake processor from Intel, which comes with lots of advantages. Apart from this, the device continues to boast a slim case as well as an impressive 120-Hz AMOLED display.

Never change a running system. The Lenovo ThinkPad X12 G2 business Windows detachable is designed to be particularly flexible. It allows users to work either in laptop mode or without a keyboard dock in tablet mode and offers long runtimes. A stylus for the touchscreen is also included. We put the flexibility promises to the test.

Sleek but with underwhelming colors. The Yoga 7 2-in-1 14 has been refreshed with newer and faster processor options from AMD. Its slim design is still as attractive and as portable as ever, but its display is disappointing especially for content creators.
AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS | AMD Radeon 780M | 14.00" | 1.6 kg

Outperforms even the new Yoga 7 2-in-1 14. The Ryzen 7 8845HS is a gaming-level processor that has somehow found its way to a 14-inch budget convertible. Needless to say, performance is off the charts for the size category regardless of price.

Balances performance with weight. The OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 may be one of HP's lightest 14-inch convertibles, but it's far from being the slowest. Intel's new Lunar Lake CPU helps to strike a great balance between portability and performance.
Intel Core Ultra 7 258V | Intel Arc Graphics 140V | 14.00" | 1.3 kg

Calculated business moves. The Dell Latitude 7450 2-in-1 delivers good performance with its Intel Core Ultra 7 165U vPro processor while offering a solid set of features tailored for business professionals on the go. Dell even includes a robust array of tools to keep IT admins happy. However, improvements over its predecessor are incremental and its competitors, particularly the new Lenovo ThinkPad lineup, present equally compelling options.

Intel Core Ultra 7 and Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 on one machine. The hybrid Windows-Android approach can effectively replace your existing laptop and tablet all at once. However, the 2-in-1 Lenovo machine isn't necessarily better than a standalone laptop and standalone tablet in terms of battery life and weight.

3K IPS display. Chuwi has released the new Hi10 Max, a low-cost tablet with an IPS screen, an Intel processor, and Windows 11 Home. For a total of US$319, the package also includes a stylus and an attachable backlit keyboard. However, you shouldn't have overly high expectations regarding performance and battery life.

Dell's first 10-inch fully-rugged tablet. The Latitude 7030 Rugged Extreme is a modernized Windows tablet with multiple USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports, Intel 12th gen CPUs, great colors, and tons of connectivity options all in a 10-inch form factor.

For creators on the go. Asus' new ProArt PZ13 is a relatively robust convertible for creative users who also want to be able to do their work in adverse conditions. The new 8-core Snapdragon X Plus from Qualcomm powers the device, which ensures long runtimes, among other things. However, the same as on the other ProArt models, its OLED touchscreen is limited to 60 Hz.

Vapor chamber cooling on a Windows tablet. The Microsoft Surface Pro 9 gets its strongest competitor yet with the latest Latitude 7350 2-in-1. The Dell system has a lot going for it including the uncommon Core Ultra U7 CPU, but it's not quite the homerun we were expecting.
Intel Core Ultra 7 164U | Intel Graphics 4-Core iGPU (Arrow Lake) | 13.00" | 865 g

Powerful, premium and professional. The HP Elite 1000 family is lauded for its portability and auxiliary features that business users can appreciate. The latest Elite x360 1040 G11 continues the trend, but a bigger cooling solution probably wouldn't hurt to keep those core temperatures down.
Intel Core Ultra 7 165H | Intel Arc 8-Core iGPU | 14.00" | 1.5 kg

A significantly better price-to-performance ratio. The base variant of the new Surface Pro 11 has gone with an IPS display and the supposedly slower Snapdragon X Plus processor. In practice, you don't notice the lower performance but some constraints remain due to the ARM version of Windows.
