Best 2-in-1 laptop deals: Turn your laptop into a tablet for $290

One of the great things about 2-in-1 laptops is that you don’t have to go for either a traditional tablet or a full-blown laptop, but you really can go for something a little bit in between. In fact, convertible laptops have become very powerful and lightweight in the past few years, with much more power under the hood than they used to. Luckily, there are many great options you can pick from, from cheap Chromebooks to more expensive models decked out with AMOLED screens. Either way, we’ve collected some of our favorite deals below to help save you the trouble of having to go looking, so be sure to check out our picks below.

Contents

  • Chromebook Duet 3 — $290, was $430
  • HP Envy x360 2-in-1 — $600, was $850
  • Samsung Galaxy Book3 — $1,000, was $1,550
  • 16-inch HP Spectre x360 — $1,450, was $2,130
  • Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 — $2653, was $2,800

Chromebook Duet 3 — $290, was $430

For a low cost and highly affordable Chromebook, try the Chromebook Duet 3. It’s got a minimalist construction and a surprisingly good battery life (in our Chromebook Duet 3 review, we were able to get nearly 16 hours of video playback out of the small machine). The Chromebook Duet 3 has 8GB of RAM, 128GB of eMMC storage, and a nearly 11-inch screen. It even includes a webcam and works with the Lenovo Digital Pen.

HP Envy x360 2-in-1 — $600, was $850

The 14-inch HP Envy x360 2-in-1 looks fairly ordinary at first, but opens way beyond the 120 degrees or so that you’re used to, flipping its screen all the way around back. When completely flipped the keyboard to bottom, you then control the laptop with the included HP USB-C Rechareable MPP2.0 Tilt Natural Silver Pen. This version of the HP Envy x360 2-in-1 includes a 512GB SSD and 8GB of RAM.

Samsung Galaxy Book3 — $1,000, was $1,550

Samsung’s Galaxy Book3 brings — with the exception of the graphics card — premium hardware to make a quality, touchable (and pen-able, if you purchase an S Pen separately) 2-in-1 suitable for creatives and workers alike. It runs on 16GB of RAM with a 13th Gen Intel Core i7 processor. You’ll have 1TB of SSD storage, but there is also a microSD port (in addition to Thunderbolt 4 and USB-C ports) to give you ample room to store and manipulate video, artwork, and whatever other files you’ll need for work, hobbies, and recreation.

16-inch HP Spectre x360 — $1,450, was $2,130

The HP Spectre x360 is a 2-in-1 that feels solidly constructed and doesn’t skimp on quality physical components in the face of getting the 2-in-1 shape right. As our HP Spectre x360 16 review will make clear, that can mean that the tablet mode feels heavy at times, but that shouldn’t scare you away too much. This is a 2-in-1 made for the long term or, to quote our hands-on review, “should last for years of abuse.” This model has 16GB of RAM, 2TB of storage, and use a 13th Gen i7 processor.

Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 — $2653, was $2,800

The very recently released Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 has insane stats and a highly convenient folding mechanism that allows the touchpad to be visible at the same time as its screen. It ha a 14.4-inch screen, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. It runs with an Intel Core i7 processor and an RTX 4050. Our Surface Laptop Studio 2 review gave a lot of attention to the special PixelSense Flow display, which is only a small upgrade over the previous version’s display, but will look great for anyone that isn’t changing laptops every time a new model hits the shelves.
