Google pixelbook
The Google Pixelbook remains one of the best 2-in-1 laptops because it offers something that other Windows 10-powered devices can’t – it offers a taste of Android while still maintaining the design and features of Chrome OS. The Google Pixelbook packs a lot of modern style into a maturing, convertible form factor. And, if rumors are to be believed, it may get a widely implemented dark mode in the near future.
While sold separately, the Google Pixelbook does wield a stylus that alleviates much of the pain you would expect from using Android applications on a laptop. At the same time, the fact that you can flip the machine 360 degrees inside out makes for another compelling case to buy the Google Pixelbook for its growing variety of use cases.
It may be a Chromebook-meets-Nexus at first glance, but its specs, too, are far superior. Equipped with a 2,400 x 1,600 pixel display and 7th-generation Intel Core ‘i’ processors, the Google Pixelbook isn’t anything to scoff at. Plus, as you'll realize, it dons a modest price tag that puts Apple’s comparably specced offerings to shame.
