Convertibles laptops (also called 2-in-1 laptops) are great for those who are always on the move. The machines have the processing power of a laptop and the comfort of a tablet, making them compact and easy to carry around — you can use these devices for work in laptop mode or switch to tablet mode to watch videos. While some 2-in-1 laptops make use of the 360-degree hinges, the others have detachable screens making them independent from the keyboards. Lastly, these laptops have touchscreen displays, with support of a stylus on a handful of them, that further enhance productivity.

As the popularity of the convertible laptops continues to grow, they are getting less expensive, making them as affordable as their clamshell counterparts. We’ve compiled a list of the best convertible laptops available in India right now across various price points.
