Sometimes, you need a proper laptop with a keyboard, mouse, and a traditional screen. Other times, it works better to have a tablet, with a viable touchscreen to navigate. For example, if I'm typing up a meaty article or report then I want that keyboard. But if I'm waiting some time at the airport, kicking back trying to watch a show or movie, then I want the tablet format. The best part about a 2-in-1 laptop is you get all of that in a single package. You can unfold normally like a laptop, or fold it backward -- convertible style -- to set the computer up like a tablet. You can also do a bunch of other configurations, like standing up the system to prop it up and keep your hands free. Most 2-in-1 laptops are pretty expensive, though. You can find many of these versatile devices in student laptop deals and back to school laptop deals, of course.
