2-in-1 laptops combine the workhorse capabilities of laptops with the sleek designs and portability of tablets. They come in several specifications to cover multiple uses, ranging from casual browsing to gaming and graphic design. Staples® offers a wide selection of laptops, computers, and tablets from leading technology brands.
Hybrid and Convertible 2-in-1 Laptops for Productivity
Hybrid laptops feature detachable screens that work independently as tablets. Some keyboards include additional ports for connectivity. Hybrids come with light or heavy keyboards. Heavy keyboards provide a strong base and support the screen much like normal laptops. Options with lightweight keyboards come with kickstands to support the screens when in use. Convertible laptops feature keyboards that attach permanently to the screen. Their hinges either flip or swivel almost 360 degrees to make them work like tablets. Such laptops are usable in tent, stand, laptop, and tablet orientations. These modes make it easier to share screens during meetings or get into a comfortable position for drawing or taking notes.
2-in-1 Laptop With High Processing Speeds
Laptops with powerful AMD or 8th generation Intel® processors offer excellent processing and multitasking capabilities to handle heavy tasks such as analytics. Such options have 8GB of RAM or more to quickly load data for smooth and fast operations. The type of storage also affects speeds with solid-state drives providing the fastest data retrieval. This kind of drive is available with storage ranging from 128GB to 1TB. Hard disk drives are still popular on many devices and offer large storage capabilities starting from 320GB to 1TB. Many laptops are available in new and certified refurbished options. Choose devices with eco-friendly and recycled components to help minimize environmental impact.
Laptops in Various Screen Sizes
Most models feature screen sizes from 13 to 17 inches. Larger screens are suitable for watching movies and sharing information while smaller options have the compact feel of tablets and are good for note-taking. Displays vary in clarity, with 4k options suitable for users who want to edit photos and videos. High-definition screens provide a great viewing experience.
Are There 2-in-1 Laptops for Gaming?
These feature discrete GPUs and added RAM starting from 2GB. These components support light to moderate gaming. Such options also include fans for cooling to increase efficiency and prolong performance. Games take up more storage, which is why most gaming devices have storage ranging from 500GB to 1TB.
What Are the Available Operating Systems for 2-in-1 Laptops?
Options with Chrome OS™ are suitable for most web-based tasks, such as browsing sites and editing documents. If using resource-intensive applications, such as graphic design software or advanced accounting applications, opt for Windows® operating systems because they support a wide range of functionalities.
What Are the Connectivity Options for a 2-in-1 Laptop?
Most laptops feature Wi-Fi® connectivity and some options have Bluetooth® functionality for an alternative way to transfer data. USB A and USB Type-C® ports enable fast data transfer.
