Eighth Microsoft's Windows excited the novelty of his empire not only software developers, and mobile computing industry. Given the dual nature of the new Windows, manufacturers of laptops and tablets do not have to wait long, and have developed a device known as laptops 2 in 1, or transformers.
Such a device can be used as a laptop, tablet and the like. This is possible in two ways - either construction is removable and looks like a tablet with touch controls, or it convertible, where the laptop hinges have the ability to rotate 360 degrees. So far, the developers could not boast of such a successful experience of technology transformation laptops tablets and vice versa, but experience shows that progress is not in place and all is gradually changing for the better.
Given the similarity of the hybrids with ultrabooks build quality, slim body and light weight, hybrids usually are in the same price range - from $ 700 to $ 2,000. These gorgeous, powerful, eye-pleasing devices have several uses that can be successfully used in different situations. In our review, we have collected for you the best laptops transformers 2015.
Notebook-transformer Dell Venue Pro 11 7130
This tablet from Dell is ideal for business users, but it does have a few minor drawbacks. Its 2-megapixel front camera is only suitable for calls to Skype, as an 8-megapixel rear camera makes dark images. In addition, the sound he has a pretty weak.
This is something that applies to flaws. Basically, Dell Venue extremely multifunctional.Impressive Full HD panel high definition and powerful enough processor that allows you to perform almost any job.
You also have the option to purchase additional luxury keyboard with built-in rechargeable battery, which will help extend the battery life. For 747 dollars is an extremely valuable asset.

Laptop-Transformer Asus Transformer Book TX300
Asus Transformer Book TX300 (price starts from US $ 1499) is framed by polished aluminum body. This finish gives the device an elegant, finished look, so in terms of design it can be safely put shoulder to shoulder with the MacBook Air.
However, the highlight of this device is that the flick of the wrist screen detachable from the base of the keyboard, and this zamechatelnyy13-inch notebook turns into a 13-inch tablet, on which you can play games, sit on the Internet, watch movies. Along with 4 GB of RAM, the device has a processor Ivy Bridge Intel Core i7 3517U third generation.

Notebook-transformer Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro
Testing the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro (price starts from US $ 1099), we can confirm that the display with 3200 x 1800 pixels is really delicious. Add to this an unusual form factor, which we really enjoyed working, backlit keyboard, and a fast SSD-drive with a reaction time similar to mobile devices.
However, based on our experience, such as thin ultrabooks at Haswell are supposed to work independently twice as long as Yoga 2 Pro, even with a full charge. When we tested this hybrid, it lasted about five hours without recharging. Even with cloud services such as Google Drive, SSD-drive volume of 128 GB do not want to recommend even your grandparents.
Thus, taking into account all the shortcomings, we can conclude that Yoga 2 Pro - winner among laptop hybrids simplicity and quality of the image. With a price tag of about $ 1,000, you can give Yoga 2 Pro in someone's hands and not even doubt that this one will be completely happy.

Laptop-Transformer Microsoft Surface Pro 3
To date, Microsoft Surface Pro 3 - is not only an amazing multi-function device from Microsoft, but the most convincing representative in the line of hybrids. And believe me, it's loud statement from a longtime skeptic about such devices is well worth it.
However, Surface Pro 3 (price starts at $ 799) has a number of drawbacks that can not be ignored by us, for example, the battery life of the battery. The idea is that the battery life Battery Pro 3 should be the same as the majority of ultrabooks, however, it is far from that of the flagship laptops and tablets from Apple. And the keyboard module Type Cover pretty expensive.
Whatever it was, the thing is that the price of this hybrid complete with Type Cover is still less than the price of the most affordable Ipad Air and 13-inch MacBook Air together. Theoretically, this hybrid is more powerful than any gadget from Apple, not to mention most other comparable price laptops and tablets. Yes, Surface Pro 3 is not ideal, but today it is the most striking example of transformation into a tablet laptop and vice versa.
