Whether you want to watch a movie, deliver a small presentation, or type a quick document, a 2-in-1 convertible excels in a host of scenarios. That said, with dozens of options available in the market, it can be confusing to pick one on a tight budget. But, don’t worry – we’ve done the research and you’ll find five enticing options listed below.

1. Dell Inspiron 14 7425

• Processor: Ryzen 5825U | Screen Resolution: FHD+ IPS
• Screen Refresh Rate: 60Hz | On-board RAM: 16GB DDR4
• On-board Storage: 512GB

Most modern laptops have adopted a taller aspect ratio, and the Inspiron 14’s 16:10 FHD+ IPS panel is no different either. Backed with an AMD Ryzen 5825U processor, the laptop depends on an integrated Radeon GPU to handle graphically-demanding tasks, like editing photos and videos or running casual games.

The laptop also ships with an FHD webcam, thereby ensuring you look your best during video calls. Paired with a capable sound system, you won’t miss a beat from your co-workers in a team meeting. That’s not all, as it is equipped with fast charging chops. As such, you can juice up the device up to 80 percent in an hour.

The port selection is impressive too, and the unit gets a handful of USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and Type-A connectors. Unfortunately, your purchase doesn’t include a pen, which is a bummer for a 2-in-1 convertible.  

2. Lenovo Yoga 7

• Processor: Intel Core i5 1235U | Screen Resolution: 2.2K IPS
• Screen Refresh Rate: 60Hz | On-board RAM: 8GB DDR4
• On-board Storage: 512GB

For one, Lenovo has outfitted the laptop with a 2.2K IPS panel that’s slightly more pixel-dense than what you’d get with Dell’s contender. The Yoga 7 is also powered by Intel’s 12^th generation Core i5-1235U processor. For those unaware, the 1235U is a battery-efficient (15W) CPU that can handle your day-to-day tasks without taking a toll on the laptop’s battery.

The laptop also ships with a fantastic keyboard and a dedicated pen to jot down notes in tablet mode. The company promises 11.5 hours of runtime, but you should always take such claims with a pinch of salt (especially with the Intel CPUs).

As for the port selection, you have one USB 3.2, HDMI 2.0 (no 2.1, though), a microSD card, two Thunderbolt 4.0 ports that support high-speed data transfer, Power Delivery, and the ability to run an external GPU on the go. Needless to say, Lenovo has covered all the basics, and you don’t have to invest in a dongle when you opt for the laptop.

3. ASUS Zenbook Flip

• Processor: Ryzen 7 5800H | Screen Resolution: 2.8K OLED
• Screen Refresh Rate: 90Hz | On-board RAM: 16GB DDR4
• On-board Storage: 512GB

That’s not all, as the laptop has been outfitted with AMD’s powerful Ryzen 7 5800H processor. The CPU is capable enough to meet your usual needs and can even hold its own when subjected to creative workflows. Although the Zenbook Flip is available in a handful of display options, the OLED variant is the best of the bunch.

Another standout feature is the inclusion of NumberPad 2.0 tech, which lets you access an LED-illuminated numeric keypad on the trackpad with the press of a button. Needless to say, the feature is a godsend for someone frequently dealing with Excel files.

Please be aware that the laptop may experience OLED burn-in problems. That said, the company has added some nifty software tweaks to mitigate the same. You can access the same by going into the MyASUS app. On the bright side, ASUS bundles a stylus as well as a protective sleeve with your purchase.

4. HP Spectre x360

• Processor: Intel Core i5 processor 1135G7 | Screen Resolution: FHD+
• Screen Refresh Rate: 60Hz | On-board RAM: 16GB DDR4
• On-board Storage: 512GB

Most laptops offer a 16:10 aspect ratio panel. HP is a step ahead and follows the Microsoft Surface line with a 3:2 aspect ratio. The laptop’s screen offers more vertical real estate, and correspondingly, you can glance at more content without endlessly scrolling through web pages or documents.

Although the laptop is backed by a dated 11^th Gen Intel i5 (U-series) CPU, it offers plenty of computing power to tackle tasks like web browsing or running Office apps. However, don’t expect to edit videos or perform any creative work on the unit. The port selection is not the best either, so make sure to get a dongle if your heart is set on the Spectre x360.

5. HP Envy x360

• Processor: Intel Core i7-1250U | Screen Resolution: FHD+
• Screen Refresh Rate: 60Hz | On-board RAM: 16GB DDR4
• On-board Storage: 512GB

The HP Envy x360 won’t win any laurels in the design department. To that end, the laptop looks the part of a standard 2-in-1 notebook and is available in a Silver colour trim. That said, the laptop is backed by capable internals, so it should serve you well for a few years.

HP bundles a stylus to sketch and take notes in tablet mode. The laptop also comes with useful add-ons like an appearance filter and auto frame to keep you in focus during video calls. It’s an Intel Evo-certified product, meaning it meets Intel’s strict guidelines to deliver an optimum experience.

Use Windows to Its Full Potential

The aforementioned convertibles can help you jot down notes, or watch movies seamlessly when you’re on the go. Off the lot, you should go for the Zenbook Flip if you consume a lot of content on your laptop.

For everyone else, the Envy x360 is a great bet, thanks to its competent specs. Which 2-in-1 did you pick from the list? Share your preference in the comments below.
