Good 2-in-1 notebook / tablet?

I will soon need a light companion for my school to work productively and maybe do something creative (in my case, drawing).

Are there recommendations that are good up to 700 euro? Have an eye on the Surface Go 2, is that good so far or are there better ones in this price segment? Please let me know, I look forward to every answer!

You won't get anything good there. At 1600 it starts with a Surface Book.

The other Surface devices are either notebooks or tablets with a keyboard. You can only use the latter with a keyboard at the table.

How about an iPad Pro? Unfortunately it starts at 850 euro, but it's the best tablet out there. There's also a real keyboard for this. Which is then again expensive. Maybe you don't need a keyboard at all, just a pen?

It was already clear to me that I had a tablet with a keyboard, which is why I had an eye on a Surface, as I would rather use it with a keyboard at a table, otherwise with a pen.
In any case, thanks for the answer, I'll see how my budget can handle an iPad

I have the Lenovo IdeaPad C340 and I'm totally satisfied with it

I recently bought an HP Envy x360 15 convertible notebook.

The notebook is really great so far, but there's one thing that really bothers me, but I hope that the HP fixes something via BIOS update, but more on that later.

As a processor, I chose a Ryzen 7 4700U with 16GB DDR4 3200 RAM and a 1TB Samsung NVMe SSD. The sound from the speakers is really very good. Watching films and listening to music is a real treat and not a horror, like with so many other devices.

A 15.6 inch touchscreen is used as the display. The display front is glazed.

This device costs over 1000 euro in this configuration variant. If you don't need a 1TB NVMe SSD, you save a lot of money.

Now to the biggest point of criticism. If you use the notebook in tablet mode, i.e. You fold the display 360 ° backwards, all keys on the keyboard are switched off. Normally that would be great…

However, if the display goes out or the device goes into energy-saving mode because you haven't used it for too long, you can no longer wake it up. You have to fold the device once by at least 180 °, so the buttons are activated again and you can wake up the device again. I hope that HP can remedy this with a BIOS update.

What should also be mentioned, the device has no Thunderbolt. So you can't connect an eGPU. However, it has a USB-C port, which you can use e.g. You can charge a smartphone or the other way around, you can recharge the notebook with a power bank.

In addition, the keyboard is illuminated, which I personally like very much. It is a plain white light and not such a garbage with different colors.

The battery life is in normal operation about 9-10 hours, depending on how bright you set the display.

In addition, the device has different modes in which you can choose which performance it should have. I usually use the quiet mode. This will turn off the fans. Great in the office. You can't hear anything when watching a movie.

In turbo mode the SSD achieves at least 3GB / s in read and write and the CPU / GPU performance increases to the maximum. GPU has a clock rate of 1600 MHz. In quiet mode this is throttled to 600. One notices clearly when gambling. A game that previously had 70 fps now only has 20 fps.

In conclusion, it should be said that the device can also be used for occasional gaming. Of course you shouldn't expect to be able to set mega blatant graphics, but at low details at 1080p, 60 fps can be achieved.
