Galaxy Fold first look at Samsung's Unpacked
Samsung gave its foldable phone an official name and revealed when you can buy it. (Warning: It isn't cheap.)
Microsoft surprised everyone with the innovative Surface Book. As good as it looks, there are some other nice options in the 2-in-1 category.
Windows 10 has been optimized for both laptop and tablet use, and Microsoft has done a good job with it. It works using a keyboard and trackpad as well as it does the tablet touch screen. The hybrid, aka the 2-in-1, is a good fit for those wanting to take full advantage of what Windows 10 has to offer.
In an industry where there are seldom secrets, Microsoft surprised us all with the unveiling of the Surface Book. With the premium design from top to bottom, the newest member of the Surface family is one of the best laptops. Popping the screen, or Clipboard as Microsoft prefers to call it, off using the innovative latch is icing on the cake.
Microsoft pitches the Surface Book as a laptop first and tablet second, and the three hour battery life of the Clipboard makes that clear. Those needing to use a tablet for longer than that in a day may find that to be limiting.
As nice as the Surface Book is, there are some reasonable alternatives for those in the market for a 2-in-1 device. We’ve collected five of them for your consideration. These are some of the best models currently available. While some may be considering the iPad Pro for a work system, all of these run Windows 10 to keep comparisons straightforward.
