Why don't you have a 2 in 1 laptop?

>he fell for the 2-in-1 meme

Why do so many threads here start with

>Why don't you have X, /g/?
>Why aren't you using Y, /g/?
>Why aren't you doing Z, /g/?

Are people here fucking sheep or something? Do you all just want to do what the others here are doing? Go deal with your buyers remorse or whatever the fuck and keep it off /g/. Why do you care what other people here are doing?

>>59545720
You forgot the laptop has an attribute that is outside the 2-1 set.
Not being fucking retarded.

A 360 degree hinge literally takes away nothing from it being a laptop while adding an additional feature at no compromise. Literally what are you retards complaining about?

>>59545720
don't need to. I need a laptop for work and comfy shitposting and I use a tablet to read light shit, check /g/, emails, comfy remote control for media center/netflix.

>>59546144
This. People will complain about everything.

>>59546144
>A 360 degree hinge literally takes away nothing from it being a laptop while adding an additional feature at no compromise.
Wrong. 2-in-ones compromise performance for battery life and are less powerful than professional laptops while having worse battery life than tablets.

That being said, there's still a market for them.

>>59546341
No they don't. This isn't 2015 dumbass. You can get a 2 in 1 with the same specs as a traditional laptop.

>>59546375
Your reading comprehension is literally shit.

>>59546411
You seem to not understand the concept behind "no compromises". I'm sorry.

>>59546375
I can't speak for 360 degree hinge designs, but for the 'tablet-in-a-dock' approach, even if they have similar or the same hardware you're gonna run into to other issues. The Surface Pro 4 I'm typing this on for instance has an i7 in it but it thermal throttles a fair bit, even with the pretty damn cool water cooling loop.

>>59546434
>implying I can't find a laptop more powerful than any 2-in-one you can find
That's the compromise, dumbass.

>>59545720
>glossy screen

>>59546457
Not talking about tablet & dock

>>59546461
Any laptop that has specs a 2 in 1 "can't" have currently would barely qualify as a laptop.

no it's a better tablet, worse laptop

>>59545720
In what use case would it be beneficial to remove my keyboard?

>>59546847
>He doesn't know tablet + dock isn't the only type of 2 in 1

>>59546771
It's a pretty solid laptop.
Everybody who isn't in marketing uses them at my work and once you slap the dock on they're pretty fucking great.

>Folding the keyboard backwards to get rid of the functionality, but still retain the weight and bulkiness of a laptop

Again, when would I ever not want to use the keyboard?

>>59547073
It's literally just an additional feature on a laptop. I don't see any reason one would choose a traditional laptop over a 2 in 1 assuming same specs.

>/g/ is a consumer board
I'd argue but that's true now

>>59547265
This is the lowest effort analogy I've ever seen in my life.

A laptop will always have a hinge. A bike will not always have 3 wheels.

>>59547298
>BUT MUH 90° HINGE

>>59546144
>>59545720
My dell 2-in-1's hinge became faulty. It leads me to believe 360 degree hinges spoil more easily.
2-in-1 have touchscreens. It means a glossy display, extra cost and extra battery usage for a feature I don't use.

>>59547378
>dell 2 in 1
There's your problem. You bought objectively one of the worst 2 in 1s on the market, and no most high end laptops have glossy displays due to also having touch screen and high resolution screens. Take the spectre x360 for example. It has one of the best battery lives of any laptop despite being 2 in 1, and costs less than an equivalent XPS 13.

>>59547335
This isn't 2015

>>59545720
Because I haven't money

>>59547435
My Zenbook ultrabook has an IPS matte display. 1080p is enough, 4K are just meme battery drains.

>>59547435
yup it's 2017 and the bottom bar is probably even shorter due to the thin meme

actually if you don't literally need 15 hours battery life 4k displays are really nice. Most high end 4k laptops now a days can easily achieve 10+ hours.

>>59547502
Because they're not as useless as /g/ wants you to believe.

>>59545720
Battery usage

>>59547525
You don't tell me what I need or don't need. Most 4K laptops can't achieve 10 hours, don't make up numbers.

Those numbers aren't made up. If you actually looked at what I said "high end" and looked at what's available on the market you'd know.

>>59547525
They would require a use in order to not be classified as useless.

Hello? I can't find a 4K monitor with 10 hour tested (not claimed) battery life. Have you actually looked anything up?

Kaby Lake Dell XPS 13:
Battery Life

The Dell XPS 13 was already one of the longest-lasting ultraportables on the market, and the new version includes a beefier 60-watt-hour battery -- up from 56 watt hours on the previous model. As a result, the new nontouch version of the XPS 13 offers truly epic endurance, lasting 13 hours and 49 minutes on the Laptop Mag web surfing battery test. (We set all screens at 100 nits of brightness.)

If you really care about battery life, you might want to think twice about the touch screen model. The XPS 13 we tested with a Core i7 CPU and a beefy 3200 x 1800 touchscreen display lasted four and a half hours less, a time of 9:11. Still, that's better than the ultraportable average of 8:05.

Where's my 10 hour 4K touch screen laptop?

If we were talking a Surface Pro 3, I might agree, but the 4 works pretty fantastically as both. I've fiddled with a few of them but this is the first where I felt like I finally saw what MS was going for with them. Also the first I actually put money down on.

>>59547904
I need something bigger than 12 inches man. If the surfacebook wasn't so goddamn expensive I'd get that in a heartbeat.

>>59547926
I really liked the look of the Surface Book, but I couldn't justify the expense for what I need a thing for. I've got a proper desktop for heavy duty stuff, and this as a device to drag to uni or for lighter stuff that I used to use an Android tablet for.
