While laptops have grown popular over the last decade, portability and comfort have become an issue for those who work or study remotely. Then, this portability problem inspired tech giants to combine the processing power of computers with the portability of tablets, and this is how they developed the 2-in-1 laptop.

In short, this touch-optimized convertible laptop (or tablet, as well) is fantastic for all those workers and students who are constantly on the move. On the other hand, buying a convertible laptop can be cheaper than buying a separate laptop and tablet.

Here's a breakdown of the pros and cons of 2-in-1 laptops:

(+) PROS:

• You can save money.
• Its software is fully compatible with Office apps.
• Hybrid laptops can be reverted from laptop to tablet.
• Great specs and design.
• You can do creative things like drawing or painting.
• You can set the screen angle however you like it.
• They enclose the best features of both tablets and laptops.

(-) CONS:

• Top models can be expensive.
• They commonly have smaller hard drives and processing power than regular laptops.
• Some models are thicker and heavier than tablets.
• Less comfortable to use.
• Battery life.
• You will have to pay for the physical keyboard and mouse.

As we've already outlined, the main point of choosing a hybrid laptop is to save money and time by not having to buy a separate tablet and laptop. However, if you need a portable device for heavyweight tasks, gaming, or video editing, it will be better for you to choose a traditional desktop.
