Hybrids
More and more ultraportables are being released as what we call convertible hybrids, or 2-in-1s. These "mash-ups" let you enjoy both laptop and tablet functionality, thanks to hinges and swiveling joints that let you bend the display back around to use without a keyboard, though the systems don't come apart the way detachable-hybrid slates do. The best-known systems of this type are in Lenovo's Yoga line, but we've seen similar designs from several other manufacturers, too.
These convertible devices are laptops first, but they aren't limited to the traditional clamshell design. Because they feature specialized hinges and touch screens, you can also prop them up like a tent, or turn the keyboard facedown so the screen is better positioned for watching a movie or giving a presentation. The one point of concern is that every extra-flexible hinge or rotating joint also presents a new point of failure for the display, and while they are relatively rare, screen issues occur with convertible designs more than with standalone laptops.
With thinner, lighter, and more powerful ultraportables available now than ever before, there's something in the category to suit anyone's needs. No matter your preferences for brand, display, or feature set, there's a variety of options to choose from across a range of prices. Below are 10 of the top ultraportables we've tested. Be sure to also check our overall laptop favorites, as well as our top picks for work and play, and if you're on a budget, the best low-cost laptops.
