Samsung Galaxy Book 2

If you’re planning to upgrade your 2-in-1 soon, Microsoft and HP are offering some of the best products. The late 2018 launch of the Surface Pro 6 and the Envy Spectre Folio deliver premium quality and performance. Google wants to grab a piece of the pie as well with the Pixel Slate, but ChromeOS might not be everyone’s cup of tea. While it might look like a heated battle between the Palo Alto-based manufacturer and the Redmond tech giant, another competitor jumps into the mix–the Samsung Galaxy Book 2.

It appears the South Korean consumer electronics company might be riding on the success of its Galaxy Tab S4. However, when it comes to Windows-based platforms, it’s an entirely different ball game. The aforementioned device along with the likes of the iPad Pro is a great portable alternative to notebooks. However, their performance is normally not up to par for serious productivity. With that in mind, the Samsung Galaxy Book 2 will not be replacing your laptop anytime soon. Yet, its spec sheet appears ideal for those who don’t really need the extra computing horsepower.

We have to honestly point out that the 12-inch super AMOLED display is stunning. The screen technology is known for its vibrant colors and deep blacks. Packing a Qualcomm Snapdragon 850 chipset with 4GB of RAM, the Samsung Galaxy Book 2 will be running on Windows 10 S. This combination of power-friendly components allows the 2-in-1 to deliver up to 20 hours of battery life. The $999.99 retail package reportedly includes an S Pen and keyboard cover.

2018 Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga 2-In-1 Business Laptop

Lenovo’s ThinkPad range of laptops is mostly thought of as machines made for business. As such, features and gimmicks often delegated to entry-level and mid-range models are mostly absent. However, it doesn’t mean that you can’t bend the rules on some occasions. That’s exactly what the brand did with the 2018 Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga. Looking back, this is actually already the third-generation rework of its 2-in-1 notebook.

You can easily mistake it as a casual laptop given the 360-degree folding nature of its design. But it comes with advanced security features that would make your office’s IT administrator life a bit easier. Lenovo was one of the first few manufacturers to integrate a sliding cover over its front-facing HD webcam called the ThinkShutter. Furthermore, the built-in fingerprint reader sports anti-spoofing tech to restrict access and protect your data.

Exceptional performance is a must when it comes to your work, so the 2-in-1 laptop uses an Intel Core i7-8650U with vPro and up to 16GB of LPDDR3 RAM. Internal storage won’t be a problem since you can choose up to a 1TB PCIe-NVMe SSD OPAL2.0.

This versatile business laptop is intended to be ready when you need it at a moment’s notice. Standard connectivity options are given a substantial boost with optional 4G LTE for areas with no Wi-Fi hotspots. With a projected 15-hour battery life, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga is there for the long haul. Moreover, if you’re low on power, the onboard RapidCharge system can take you from zero to 80 percent in just 60 minutes.

2018 Asus ZenBook Flip 2-In-1 Laptop

Asus just recently unveiled its new lineup of top-shelf laptops during the 2018 IFA event in Berlin, Germany. We spied three notable models that were on hand during the expo—the ZenBook Pro, ZenBook S, and the ZenBook Flip. The latter is a premium 2-in-1 that comes with a suite of new features that make it an attractive alternative for those in the market for a new notebook.

You probably already figured out from its name that this is unlike your conventional laptop. It can be used in default, tablet, stand, and tent mode. Just like other premium models in its roster, you can look forward to an elegant aluminum body that’s adorned with a two-tone finish. It actually appears exceptional no matter what configuration you set it to.

Just like us, you probably have concerns regarding the durability of the 360-degree hinge given its multi-faceted usage. However, Asus assures everyone that it undergoes rigorous testing to ensure that it does not falter. The notebook also uses the lineup’s ErgoLift mechanism to lift the base up at an angle in laptop mode. Furthermore, it flaunts a Windows Precision Touchpad that can switch into an LED-illuminated number keypad.

There are two models on offer, a 13.3-inch variant and a 15.6-inch option and both equip an Intel Core i5-8265U or Core i7-8565U processor. The smaller one is your typical choice with portability and performance to get the job done. On the other hand, we favor the bigger notebook due to the GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q on board.
