There are laptops and there are tablets. The first ones are time-tested and reliable, the second ones are modern and "advanced". Both have their advantages and disadvantages, and depending on the situation, each can be more useful than the other.
But the inventors came up with a combined version - a tablet and a laptop in one, in a different way - a transformer. This roll-out portable personal computer can easily be laid out on a table.
Transformers are versatile, because depending on the situation they can be used as a laptop and as a tablet. In addition, there are convertible netbooks, also compact and ergonomic.
Tablet and laptop models combine such useful qualities for users as the ability to enter data using a sensor and the versatility of working with a keyboard, while both methods should be convenient. This explains the fact that tablet computers are equipped with small screens, because such a device would be difficult touse as a tablet. As a rule, manufacturers equip their tablet and laptop in one screen, the diagonal of which is 12 inches.
It must be said that a touch-sensitive touchpad is not particularly necessary for such a device, it is rather present here as an appendage and is not mandatory. Still, manufacturers are trying to put as many functions as possible into one universal gadget.
Asus laptop tablet
The leading gadget manufacturers in the world are engaged in the release of such devices. Asus is a company that is a trendsetter in the world of tablets. Let's look at two models of devices from this manufacturer.
Bold design and innovative solutions - Transformer Book Trio. This is the best laptop-tablet you can use in any situation. After all, such a Transformer can easily turn into three different devices at once. In addition to a laptop and tablet, Asus' Transformer Book Trio is also a Windows personal ultraportable computer. There is an 11.6-inch screen, as well as a docking station that is hidden in the keyboard.
If you connect them together, you get an ultrabook with Windows 8. It is enough to separate them, and you have an Android tablet in your hands, and the Windows 8 stuffing remains inside the keyboard. You can connect an external monitor and a mouse to the latter - here you have a full-fledged personal computer. In a word: twist, twist, as you please.
Another bold move by Asus is a laptop and tablet in one Taichi. itthe unique device is equipped with two screens. When opened, Taichi is the most ordinary laptop. If you close the device, you will see a beautiful real touch screen that can work with a stylus. This laptop-tablet opens up unique possibilities for artists, but still, a screen instead of a top cover is not a very reliable solution.
The creative imagination of modern designers-inventors has no limits. What else can we expect, for example, next year? A tablet and a laptop in one are devices that are increasingly gaining market share these days. They become more versatile, thanks to the desire of developers to create a single device that would combine the functions of several gadgets at once.
