The growing demand or a multifunctional computing device has continued to generate a wave of new models of personal devices that not only look and function differently, but also boast of designs and capabilities that are changing how people interact with technology.

Called 2-in-1’s or hybrid PCs, these devices bridge the gap between ultra-portables and the near-desktop functionality of laptops and allows users tap, twist, flip and detach their PCs to fit their needs and pleasure.

The beauty of this hybrid device is that it functions as a laptop when you need it and a tablet when you want it.

The product offers users new ways to interact with a computer that are more comfortable and engaging when using for reading, entertainment or gaming.

Perhaps one of the interesting things about the 2-in-1 device is its appeal. While a laptop or tablet usually has a particular audience as a stand-alone, 2-in-1 devices have universal appeal and application.

For instance, while it is great to kick back with a tablet and watch a video, read an e-book, listen to music, or play a game as a student, it doesn’t go beyond that.

If you have to take it into the classroom to take notes, then you may have a hard time doing so because a tablet’s on-screen keyboard is quite awful for taking notes or writing papers. This is where the 2-in-1 device becomes very help, functioning as a laptop when you need it and a tablet when you want it for entertainment.

And for the enterprise users who want to be free from their Laptop while maintaining their functionality, the 2-in-1 PC is a good choice.

For one, 2-in-1s remove a lot of the mobility headaches associated with laptops. E.g an executive on the go who needs to travel light, as well as work on complex presentation slides, would find the 2-in-1 tablet extremely useful.

Why your next laptop should be a 2-in-1

Do It All with a 2-in-1: 2-in-1 devices allow for an unequalled level of mobility mixed with functionality, allowing you compress many devices into one. Type out the rest of a work memo, sit back and read an e-book, pick up where you left off in a fun app game, or stream a movie all on one device without having to switch things up.

Take Your Work With You: With 2 in 1 devices outfitted with a 5th gen Intel® Core™ processor, you no longer have to be on your desk to get work done. Thanks to premium performance and serious processing power, you can finish up a presentation or send out important e-mails on the go after you walk out the door to keep your workload moving and to maintain productivity.

Gives You More Free Time: You will think the all-in-one mentality would slow things down, but the 2-in-1 devices have exceptional strength when you’re looking to multitask in a flash. With speeds that far surpass most other tablets and laptops, these devices let you zip to the next thing, giving you more time to do more or relax.

Edit Like a Pro: You will also think that making 2in1’s fast and more functional would sacrifice the amazing HD resolution found in other devices, but that is not the case. 2in1’s are capable of unparalleled sharpness whether you’re playing games, watching videos, or shooting them. You can even edit your videos and photos with the same high-definition clarity.

Cost effective:  The product  let you keep a little bit of your money while giving you much more in return.

The benefit is that 2in1’s are generally cheaper than tablets and laptops, and buying one costs less than buying both other devices separately.

Gaming: Tired of peeking at the tiny screen of your smartphone while trying to play your favorite mobile game? Then the 2in1 is your best bet when you want to up the screen size to fit your on-the-go gaming needs. Match that with the graphics, and you’ll get lost in your games for hours.

Take your fun with you: So while work is over, the 2in1 enables you shift gear and focus on getting other things done. And if you need to look up a recipe while making a scrumptious dinner, have the 2in1 right by your side to be your digital sous chef.
