What miracles of technology in the field of computers can not be found today. A modern person no longer wants to buy a simple laptop or netbook. If you are going to buy a small portable computer, many are lost in the choice - to buy an ultrabook or a tablet. Stores are full of offers, manufacturers offer many functions in small sizes - how not to get confused here! Relatively recently, a wonderful hybrid appeared on the market - a transformer-ultrabook.
Transformer laptops were an "experimental" model compared to improved devices - transformer ultrabooks. Such gadgets have less weight, small thickness, autonomy, quick exit from standby mode (5-10 seconds), as well as a very attractive design. The transformer-ultrabook can also be used as a tablet, while the transformation mechanisms are different for all manufacturers.
Hybrids are mainly based on the Windows 8 operating system. This decision is due to greater convenience when working on the touchpad and touch screen. In addition, Windows 8 provides longer validityelectronic device from the battery. Without a sensor, it is not very convenient to work with this operating system, but manufacturers are trying to provide video navigation with gesture recognition through a webcam built into the tablet cover.
Let's look at the examples of several models, the main advantages and disadvantages of such gadgets.
Ultrabook-transformer Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 is a model that has become a sales leader and surprised many users. The ability of the cover to transform into a tablet by turning 360 degrees allows you to flip the touch screen to the back of the device. Thus, to work in the tablet state, the keyboard becomes the basis of the transformer. The manufacturer has thought of this nuance: as soon as the screen is rotated, the keyboard functions are blocked (by the way, this option is easy to disable). The transformer-ultrabook can be installed as a tablet on a stand - a “house” or a “stand”, which makes it easier to work on the touch screen, and also at an angle it is better to watch videos or read books.
Asus Taichi 21 is an interesting engineering solution - the ultrabook turns into a tablet. The designers did not come up with complex mechanisms, they simply added another screen to the device's lid. Now, when you close the ultrabook transformer, it becomes a tablet. The only negative is the heavier weight of the lid and the instability of the gadget in the open state.
Dell did not change the technology tested on convertible laptops. She outfitted her XPS ultrabook13 frame, within which the tablet can be rotated at an angle convenient for work.
Sony has endowed the Vaio Duo 11 transformer-ultrabook with a proven and robust slider mechanism. To get started on the tablet, simply slide the lid forward a little and lock it in place.
You can buy a transformer ultrabook, the prices of which are slightly higher (28,000-70,000 rubles) than for ordinary laptops or transformer laptops, in many electronics stores.
