Are 2-in-1 laptops just a meme or actually useful? I'm

I bought a 2:1 laptop in my first year of university and still use it now. Honestly it's a neat trick but you won't usually find the need to flip it outside it's traditional laptop format. There's a reason laptops are still used over tablets, they're more ergonomic. Having a touch screen is neat sometimes though. A few times I've used the stand mode but then you end up getting dirt on your keyboard from the desks ect

tl;dr Don't buy one simply for the flip feature, it's overrated.

I agree. I have a yoga laptop and I rarely use it in tablet mode. It's not that it's bad, but that it makes no sense to leave the keyboard hidden away when trying to input data. Tablet mode is a nice feature for when you're watching movies in bed or just plain browsing, which happens to be when you don't need a keyboard.

That's not to say that the touch screen is a gimmick. Drawing formulas is a lot easier with a stylus, you can easily highlight and draw on documents on modern office suites, and making drawings in general is a lot nicer than just using pen and paper (if you're not using a cheap rubber stylus).

I had been using X series Thinkpad tablet. Was pretty cool, took my notes with the digitizer. It was too bulky to use as a regular tablet, but being able to use a normal operating system was a huge advantage compared to Android tablets. Later the screen broke and I replaced it with regular X series Thinkpad and an Android tablet (I also wanted more battery life). It was really annoying switching to it, I think Android shouldn't be present on devices bigger than 7". Also, I use it almost exclusively as a digital notebook because it's so fucking annoying to navigate with that shit. I expected that though. I'm constantly on the lookout for a good 2-in-1 to replace those two, but all of them lack in some aspect. They either
>can't be really used as a laptop (who needs hinges?)
>have terrible aspect ratio for notes
>don't have a digitizer
No clit-mouse is another downside usually.

From what I've seen all those new 2-in-1s feel pretty clumsy. So far I'm convinced that carrying around a solid laptop and a separate tablet is much better if you really want to make notes with a digitizer (which I personally like, copy-paste and undo are very comfy when writing).
