And, as usual, you get WiFi 6 and Bluetooth. On the inside the Acer is available with Intel’s Core i3, i5 and i7 processors, with those chips capable of everyday tasks and some tougher creative workloads at the top end. It offers good quality, too, with well-balanced colours and reasonable contrast. The 13.5in touchscreen uses an unusual 3:2 aspect ratio, which means you get more vertical space than on most laptop screens – a boon for working and web browsing. Pros: Best-in-class Full HD display ergonomic tablet mode terrific speakers big trackpad S Pen stylus Cons: Overeager fans no 3:2 or 16:10 display

But we can live with that.Īlso consider: Our most recent top 2-in-1 pick before the Samsung, the HP Spectre x360 14 (from £1,200) comes with a squarer display, which is great for day to day productivity – as well as a stunning OLED panel for all your movie-watching needs. Oh and as the Galaxy Book Pro 360 is so slim, there's no slot to hide the S Pen, as on some of the Surface line. Our only complaints? Those fans are a tad eager, though Samsung offers custom ‘silent’ and ‘no fan’ modes that you can keep on for everything but sustained creative work. The trackpad is nice and big too - and, as per for Samsung, the speakers are impressive too. There's a lot more to like too, from the delightful S Pen stylus, which zips along with no lag and is comfortable to hold and scribble with for long periods, to the excellent keyboard which offers good feedback and decent travel. And because it's so thin, light and comfortable to use, the only reminder that you in fact aren't in fact using a regular oversized tablet is essentially the feeling of the keys on the back. It's extremely thin at 11.9mm and surprisingly light too, for a 15.6in model, at under 1.4kg but the aluminium shell still feels high end. Where it really comes into its own though is in tent mode, where the vibrant 1080p AMOLED display works brilliantly as a portable movie screen, and particularly in tablet mode. Despite compact dimensions, it's a near-perfect laptop for productivity, thanks to Intel's latest 11th Gen processors and a choice or 8GB or 16GB of RAM. Samsung's Galaxy Book Pro 360 (from £999) earns the top spot thanks to its titular 360 degree hinge.
