2-in-1s

Are 2-in-1s just a meme? I guess it all hinges on the hinge, huh?

Would you rather have a separate laptop and tablet?

Id rather a laptop, no tablet but im a luddite

generally for most applications (student, teacher, graphical developer and programmer, etc) a 2-1 is very convenient.
Ideally it would be done by digital pencil only though, since finger-touch screens ARE a meme.

all the disadvantages of a laptop combined with all the disadvantages of a tablet.

second for "just laptop, no tablet"

I have one myself (HP Elite x2), you sacrifice ports, gpu, a decent keyboard, some repairability (mine has soldered RAM), overheats like a motherfucker, and screensize. Probably more but thats all I can think of now.

With that said, it still fits my needs (wish the keyboard was better though). I needed something snappy and small as I'm rarely home and I mostly use it for work. If you're into drawing as well its pretty neat and gaming isn't bad but obviously not the best. Otherwise, if your laptop is going to be your main pc (gaming, work, etc), then avoid 2-in-1s completely.

Honestly, just buy a good laptop and a cheap tablet and you're set.

It's to impress your friends desu.
Like, just to make them go "look, user has a laptop that folds!".

I had the Acer Aspire R a few years back. Was actually very useful in class. Could lay it down with a pdf of lecture notes open and scroll through it, without sticking up and distracting from what was happening in class. Was good until the display cable got worn out by too many flips and the screen went bonkers. Maybe they've improved that part of the tech by now?

Actually was surprised with how out of the box it was with Linux. Keyboard and touchpad turned of as expected when in tablet mode.

Great for notes I guess. Got a free Envy x360 15". Kinda too big to be a tablet but folding it back to write on the screen is nice and so is having everything on one single device. Still have a separate tablet though.

It has its uses. Not many but there are some.

what about the surface pro, are they decent?
