Transformer laptops can be called one of the most modern solutions to the problem of choosing between laptop power and tablet mobility. Successfully combining low weight, compactness, a touch screen with a full-fledged real keyboard and a productive processor, this type of notebook is a kind of compromise between two completely different devices.
The best of them in terms of performance can even be compared with a computer, as a result of which they are not only indispensable for study and work, but also cope well with popular games. Most of them should be considered primarily not as a home computer, but as a convenient laptop for traveling, business travel and outdoor use.
Device "two in one" is very practical. If the angle of view and rotation of a regular laptop is severely limited, then the transformer easily rotates 360 degrees. The keyboard is folded in one motion, and now the laptop has already become a convenient tablet. In some models, the screen of the device may even rotate around its axis. In this case, the keyboard also becomes a reliable stand.
Also often there are detachable laptops. Such devices are disconnected from the keyboard, turning into a regular tablet. However, most experts believe that they are inferior to all-in-one laptops in reliability. This is explained by the presence of a large number of mounts and unprotected contacts, which make the collapsible tablet laptop quite fragile. In addition, the classic Transformers, as a rule, win in performance and price, which makes them the best in their niche.
The best inexpensive transforming laptops: a budget of up to 35,000 rubles
Laptops "two in one", by definition, are not too cheap, because this is a unique category, much more convenient than ordinary laptops. Nevertheless, here there is a budget class, which models are several times smaller than their counterparts. Because of this, they are slightly inferior to powerful expensive devices in a number of characteristics, including in the frequency and number of processor cores, and hence in the speed of the system, but still they have some advantages.
First of all, inexpensive laptops, tablets, as a rule, are rather tiny and not weigh too much, therefore they often become the best option for traveling and business trips. Some of them are even able to work without charging a little longer than models with an average cost, since a small screen requires much less energy.

Rating (2019): 4.3
The top three representatives of the budget category opens the domestic laptop-transformer with the lowest price.A small model with a thickness of just over 1.6 centimeters is not only the thinnest and most compact participant in the TOP of low-cost devices, but also the lightest of them. A modest weight of just 1.19 kilograms makes it possible to call the Irbis the best two-in-one mobile laptop, which, compared to its competitors, is almost not felt in the bag. At the same time, for its diagonal of 11.6 inches, the model has an excellent screen resolution, reaching a figure of 1920x1080 pixels.
Buyers consider the device best for their money and it’s hard to argue with that. Despite the low cost, the laptop is made in a metal case, equipped with a 2-megapixel webcam and quite nimble quad-core processor. However, the size of the hard disk is relatively small - 32 GB. However, the memory can be expanded with a micro SD card.

The best transformers laptops of an average price category: up to 65,000 rubles
