Modern computer technology has long stepped over the edge of bulky and noisy devices. Current developments amaze even the experienced user. First, more convenient laptops appeared on the market, then they were replaced by compact tablets. Now in the windows you can see absolutely stunning
devices that combine several PC options at once. A laptop-transformer is a unique invention in its properties.
For quite a long time, the niche of such original laptops could not attract a sufficient number of consumers. Confused by the price and unusualness of the device. However, over time, the level of sales reached unprecedented heights.
So what is a transformer laptop? This device in its original form looks like a standard laptop model . However, the display is able to perceive handwritten input of information using your fingers or a special stylus pen. Thus, the screen works in the mode of an ordinary tablet. As a rule, the display can not only rotate at any angle, but also separate from the laptop itself. This greatly simplifies the work with the device in most situations.
A convertible laptop can be of several types. There is the following classification of this type of device:
- ultrabook slider;
- detachable laptop transformer;
- a device with a classic form-changing option;
- PC with a design transformation mechanism.
All these models are slightly different from each other in terms of properties, as well as in appearance. The classic version of the transformation involves the vertical rotation of the display around its axis. About 1.5 years ago, a similar model appeared on the market with the Dell logo. He weighed quite impressive (about a couple of kilograms) and was not quite comfortable in work. However, as a first swallow, such a transformer notebook (its price also turned out to be considerable) interested the general public. The example of Dell was followed by Lenovo, which released the entire line of ThinkPad devices.
Ultrabook slider borrowed its design from smartphones. Its screen can not only rotate around its axis, but also hide the keyboard, turning the classic model of the device into a more compact tablet. The main feature is the higher quality of the display itself. The matrix gets high definition and superb resolution. The companies that introduced such devices to the world were MSI and Sony.
The Samsung ATIV Smart PC convertible laptop along with HP models has become an excellent example of a detachable laptop. In this case, the screen is easily separated from the keyboard and works in the stand-alone mode of the tablet computer. This option is ideal for all business people who need to have a lightweight version of their PC on hand.
But there are brands that are trying to compete in the market due to new ideas in terms of the form factor of their “brainchildren”. These are Asus and Acer. In this case, the transformer laptop received a design change. Such a device is conveniently used to demonstrate a presentation. In addition, an interesting appearance allows you to use a PC as an interactive easel.
