Convertible / 2-in-1

One of the very best configurations of the ThinkPad X1 Yoga has received a considerable discount as part of a clearance sale at Lenovo's official online store, which is where the well-equipped 14-inch convertible with a 4K screen can now be ordered for less than one third of its original MSRP.

The 8 GB RAM / 256 GB SSD version is also discounted to US$549.99. This model impresses with great battery life, excellent processing power for its class, quiet operation and features such as 1080p webcam with IR sensor, fingerprint reader and microSD card reader.

The HP Spectre x360 series of notebooks are some of the best convertible laptops on the market. The 2023 version with a Core i7-1355U CPU is enjoying a steep US$761 off for an open-box unit in excellent condition at Best Buy. For the price, the laptop appears to be a worthy buy as it has a high consumer rating of 4.8 stars out of 5 at the retailer.

Fujitsu has announced that it has upgraded its Lifebook-series laptop and convertible tablet to 13th-gen Intel processors.

They are also equipped with 16:10 FHD displays that can be touch-responsive in either model.

Huawei has announced a 2023 version of the MateBook E, a 2-in-1 with a built-in kickstand and a detachable keyboard.

Thanks to two stackable coupon codes, the well-equipped 14-inch convertible with a Core i5-1240P and 16GB of RAM has now dropped below the US$1,000 threshold, which arguably turns the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga into a pretty good bargain.

The arguably most reasonable configuration of the Surface Pro 9 is now back on sale for US$1,299 on Amazon, which is one of the lowest price thus far for the latest iteration in Microsoft's prestigious line of Windows tablets.

Physical keyboards could soon return to be a part of OLED displays - sort of. Designers from Carnegie Mellon University claim to have proven that the panels are compatible with fluid-filled bumps that can act as a keyboard. They are deployed via an innovative pumping mechanism that can cause them to inflate at need.

Robo & Kala touted its eponymous tablet PC as the thinnest and lightest machine in its category on its launch via Kickstarter. That event has gone so well that the start-up is now able to sell the 2-in-1 via its own online shop. It also now sells accessories such as the device's magnetic keyboard and Smart Pen.

Dell touts the Latitude 9440 as the smallest 14-inch laptop you can buy right now - then again, you may be most inclined to order it for work, as it is also hyped as the OEM's most "collaborative" PC yet.

Asus and the apparel brand Acronym assert that their new version of 2023's ROG Flow Z13 is for creators and style icons as much as it is for gamers. Its heavy re-design adds a lot of extra metallic casing to the Core i9-13900H-powered 2-in-1's back-plate and kick-stand. The Z13-ACRNM RMT02 is also now the PC's highest-end SKU with RTX 4070 graphics, and is modded so as to act as its own bag at need.

The Yoga 9i 14 is Lenovo's most expensive consumer convertible and relies exclusively on Intel processors.
