Hello everyone, I'm a watermelon gentleman who sets up a stall (๑╹◡╹)ノ"
Today I will talk to you about the 2-in-1 tablet, a slightly niche market product, and help you do a simple screening.
The first is the current 2-in-1 tablet product:
Prices are indicative only
The above are the 2-in-1 tablet products currently on sale in the flagship stores of major brands on Double 11.
It's a pity that the current Microsoft Surface GO 3 series has been taken off the shelves, which has led to the current minimum threshold of 2-in-1 tablets to a price budget of four or five thousand. It is an electronic product with a relatively high threshold.
First of all, before recommending, let's talk about what a 2-in-1 tablet is, and what is the difference between it and what we often say about a tablet?
Huawei MateBook E
The essence of a 2-in-1 tablet can be seen as a laptop with a detachable keyboard and touch screen, which can run the full Win system and enjoy the ecological software of Windows.

It can be said that in addition to the appearance and form is different from traditional notebooks, its core essence is exactly the same as that of traditional notebooks. It can be said that everything we can do with a laptop can be done with a 2-in-1 tablet.
Then the 2-in-1 tablet can be split apart, so it can be used handheld like an ordinary mobile tablet, and it can be used in the hand to brush videos, look at documents and materials, and the portability will be much higher than that of ordinary laptops, and it is also more suitable for carrying out.
Microsoft Surface Pro 9
After all, you must have seen users who take the bus and subway with a tablet or go out, but you must not have seen the scene of going out while holding a notebook, even if it is an emergency, you will take the notebook to find a place to sit down and deal with things.

And the 2-in-1 tablet supports stylus, which is an advantage that most laptops do not have, which means that many learning users can use the stylus to meet the needs of daily study note-taking, global annotation of various documents, etc., which are the experience advantages that traditional notebooks do not have.
Therefore, the above is about the core advantages of 2-in-1 tablets, that is, it has complete Windows productivity and light office capabilities, and also has the portability of mobile products.
Then there are the disadvantages:
Although it is a 2-in-1 tablet, there is still a big gap between it and our common mobile tablets.
First of all, you can't directly run the mobile APP software, you must use the PC software, most of the mobile software is run by installing a virtual machine, whether it's official or third-party, it's basically this way.
Therefore, this method is destined to be relatively poor in our daily entertainment, and there will be a lot of software incompatibility.
Then there is the hardware power consumption and chip heating of the 2-in-1 tablet that cannot be suppressed at all, and the water cooling of the desktop is more than that of the fan on the laptop, which is a configuration that the 2-in-1 tablet cannot be a luxury.
Thin and light body
Because the 2-in-1 tablet needs to take into account the thinness of the body, it is impossible to say that the thickness is as bulky as the notebook, so there is no way to pile up heat dissipation, which leads to the fact that even if we have a higher performance chip, it is difficult to play on the 2-in-1 tablet. A 2-in-1 tablet with the same configuration will be much less powerful than a laptop.
Therefore, at present, the vast majority of 2-in-1 tablets have problems such as short battery life and high heating, mainly to meet the daily use needs of some light offices, and if you want to play various 3A games or run heavy painting creation, video editing is basically impossible. Unless it's about plugging in the power and getting a set of auxiliary cooling equipment to make the chip run, but that's it, why don't we just buy a laptop... Right.
Then these 2-in-1 products have their respective advantages:
The current 2-in-1 tablet brands are actually three, one is Microsoft, the big brother brand. One is Huawei, an emerging brand in the past two years. The other is ROG, which is an alternative to the 2-in-1 tablet.
Microsoft's advantage is the big brother of the industry, with more product iterations and an overall user experience. However, the premium of its own products is relatively high, and it basically has a purchase budget of seven or eight thousand or tens of thousands at every turn, which belongs to the type that relies on brands to eat.
Huawei is a new force, and it has begun to make efforts slowly in recent years, so the hardware configuration of the product will be better, and the cost performance is more suitable for the vast majority of ordinary consumers.
Final Purchase Recommendation:
Prices are indicative only
At the moment, there are actually two 2-in-1 tablets worth talking about, Microsoft's Surface Pro 9 and Huawei MateBook E. The price budget is about the same, and the hardware configuration is not much different.
As for the direction of purchase:
MateBook E
I actually recommend that you choose Huawei's MateBook E This 2-in-1 tablet, everyone is also a product of the WIN 11 system, at the same price, Huawei has a memory configuration of 16+1T, while Microsoft Surface Pro 9 can only buy 8+256G memory, for notebooks, this daily experience is a heaven and an earth.
And in terms of appearance, Huawei MateBook E is far ahead, ultra-thin body and ultra-narrow bezel, it is really a representative of high appearance.
And Microsoft's Surface Pro 9, although the core memory is relatively small, is an old brand after all.
Surface Pro 9
The overall user experience is still very good, not to the point that it can't be used. It's just that compared with Huawei, the cost performance is lower, and the product power is slightly insufficient. But if you really don't like Huawei, then choosing this Microsoft Surface Pro 9 will also be a good choice.
About the Huawei MateBook E GO 2023 2-in-1 Tablet:
Because this 2-in-1 tablet does not use the original Intel chip, there is still a relatively large gap in the software ecological adaptation of the PC chip of the Snapdragon series, and the productivity software adaptation of many WIN systems is not well optimized. So it's not particularly recommended for everyone to buy.
So that's all for this article, thank you very much for reading.
Because there are indeed too few products in this market at present, there is not much choice for users, and it was still the competition of Xiaomi, Lenovo and other brands last year, but now they have been taken off the shelves.
Therefore, if you don't have a special goal, you need the portability and light office ability of a 2-in-1 tablet, or it is recommended to consider it, and sometimes it is better to sacrifice a little portability to buy a laptop.
