9 best Transformers Notebook

A laptop-transformer is best suited for users who are uncomfortable typing relatively large texts on the tablet's on-screen keyboard, and this has to be done periodically. Gagemer gadget does not satisfy, unless you run undemanding online toys with minimal graphics quality settings. It is also desirable that the owner of Yoga 300-11 be able to cleanly uninstall various optional software or have friends who are “advanced” in this regard.

The performance of any ultra-budget notebook category is so modest that you have to fight for every percentage of it. That is why we in our rating preferred a laptop-transformer from Lenovo.Our nominee can boast a fresher processor (than competitors), who can accelerate if necessary (Turbo Boost) and have the best performance in single-threaded mode. Actually, just such a load scenario will prevail most of the time.

The flagship ultrabook transformer Lenovo has a very elegant, and thanks to the original swivel and memorable appearance. The design of its connecting loops is a unique link mechanism, each consisting of 813 individual elements. In such a chic case there simply cannot be an unsuitable filling, and the technical characteristics convincingly confirm this assumption. It is noteworthy that despite the large screen resolution, the autonomy of the device did not suffer at all. The company promises that a single battery charge will be enough for continuous viewing of video during the flight from Las Vegas to London. Of course, with Wi-Fi turned off (on the same plane) and not at the highest screen brightness.

However, the combination of a capacious battery and an efficient mobile processor is capable of not such miracles. That's what she is definitely not capable of - so it is for good results in games. At least in those where a powerful video card is required, so the model is aimed more at business users.

High-quality work "horse" class 2 in 1, without any frills, but at a very reasonable price. In any case, such a definition can be given to the younger model of the line, the most significant disadvantages of which are a slow hard disk and a relatively modest amount of RAM. If you want more and there is a financial opportunity - pay attention to the next generation of the same transformer (INSPIRON 5378). By the way, superficially, and the main components, they practically do not differ.

Against the background of competing offers, our nominee is distinguished by faster DDR4 memory, a very worthy wireless module from Intel (Wi-Fi 802.11ac + Bluetooth 4.2), as well as a two-level backlit keyboard. We should also mention the device screen. Along with high contrast and fairly accurate color reproduction, its maximum brightness level is not impressive. And since the coating is glossy - the laptop is not suitable for work under the sun.

It does not happen cheaper - so you can headline the text about this transformer. It is not necessary to expect miracles of performance from the ultrabudgetary device, but this task KREZ solves quite successfully - it provides the opportunity to work with various documents on the way, make a presentation at the customer and watch the video at your leisure. The device has two strengths: a surprisingly decent Full HD display with an IPS matrix at the base and good autonomy. The company promises up to 10 hours of operation on a single battery charge, but in real life the corresponding figure will be a quarter less. Of the important drawbacks, it is worth mentioning the extremely modest capacity of the built-in storage device - only 32 GB. Given that most of it is occupied by system files - you can not do without a memory card. By the way, at one of the authoritative forums there are reviews of real owners about the ability of the laptop to work with 128 GB cards (despite the stated support only up to SDHC inclusive).

Unlike the vast majority of other transformer laptops, both presented in our review and never included in it, this model is equipped with a built-in network card. Yes, we have long been firmly “hooked” on Wi-Fi, but in some cases the connection using a twisted pair simply does not have an alternative. Actually, with wireless interfaces, there is also a complete order, including support for the 802.11ac specification. There are also a couple of USB 3.0 ports and one previous version of the standard, but it can charge mobile gadgets even when the laptop is off. Do not greedy developers and omnivorous card reader.

Obviously, a 15-inch device in tablet mode is not particularly convenient, after all, it's a decent weight and thickness is rather big, but if you hold it in your hands or on your lap. And for the same negotiations at the same table, this option is optimal from different points of view.

The laptop screen is made on the basis of the IPS-matrix and does not distort the picture even when you have to look at it at large angles to the perpendicular. The filling is very smart, and one battery charge lasts about 7-8 hours of work.
