It's not a true 2 in 1 if the keyboard doesn't disattach from the display. The displays that just flip behind the keyboard are fucking gay, and shit design. Laptops are gay too.
2-in-1s
I was thinking about buying a tablet for a while now however work threw threw this out since the warranty expired. I use it to read manga so far. Haven't really found another use for it yet.
i'm thinking about getting the thinkpad yoga 490
do you think its worth 1000€ (1120$)?
The Surface Pro 6 is by far the tablet/laptop hybrid that pulls it off the best. Weights about 800 grams with the keyboard cover and tablet combined, despite the cover being thin it has actual key travel and is really nice to type on.
I have a surface book 2 but while it is nice it weights twice as much as the SP6, the keyboard detaches with a button press and doesn't flip up and down as effortlessly as the typecover (obviously sicne one is designed to be a cover and the other one a keyboard base with batteries, a GPU attached with a hinge system)
Not nearly as mobile and weightless as the SP6, kinda regret this thing

Yeah believable.
Free is free my man. Its current use as a manga reader is probably as far as it'll ever go.
I'm not talking about it being free, I am questioning why your workplace is using Inspiron laptops
Pretty sure it was from an acquisition. Our machines are all Thinkpads or Thinkcenters.
To be honest? I would rather have a decent NORMAL laptop with a decent power and decent battery life and have a cheapest Android tablet and use a capacitive pen to annotate.
If you need pen you can use a pen tablet.
While detachable and convertible are honestly pretty based, sometimes their hardware can't do proper Linux (running Manjaro) nor is a proper ARM Android (looking at you, React Native. Context: apps build with React Native that doesn't include native x86 or x86_64 will crash while using libhoudini), nor Android-x86 is polished enough.
Also the 2-in-1 tax is pretty steep.
Maybe next time I'll get a old ProBook to run hackintosh.

>Honestly, just buy a good laptop and a cheap tablet and you're set.
I think this is the way to go.
