2022-07-18

Since Microsoft launched the surface two in one tablet, the debate between the two in one tablet and notebook has never stopped. The two in one tablet computer is not the Android and Microsoft dual system product promoted by small copycat manufacturers, but a product that combines notebook and tablet computers. It has some functions for ordinary tablets and some functions for notebooks. So, will two in one tablets replace notebooks in the future? The answer is no! Because the two in one tablet computer looks perfect, but it also has shortcomings that cannot be ignored.



How to choose two in one tablets and notebooks?



What are their advantages and disadvantages? We know that no product can be perfect, whether it is a two in one tablet or laptop. How to evaluate their advantages and disadvantages cannot be generalized, but can be compared according to different use requirements and hardware configurations.



1、 For daily use, whether it's a two in one tablet or laptop, it's usually used to watch videos and surf the Internet. In this regard, as long as the two in one tablet or laptop with slightly better configuration can easily be competent. It can be said that the two sides are neck and neck in this respect.



2、 Entertainment can be divided into three aspects: Video & music; Reading and browsing; game.



Listen to music. Both tablet computers and notebooks can be played out, and headphones (wired and Bluetooth) can be worn to answer. The sound quality is related to relevant devices, and there is no big difference between the two sides as a whole. Watching videos is dominated by two in one tablets, which can be held in hand on the bed or on your legs. You can quickly and effectively control the screen through the touch screen at any time; Notebooks can only be placed in a fixed position and operated by mouse and keyboard. In this regard, the overall two in one tablet wins.



It's really inconvenient to surf the Internet with a browser or read with a reading software and use a notebook. The two in one tablet computer is very interesting. It can be operated by touch at any time through the screen. Moreover, the screen is also much ahead of the mobile phone, and the browsing effect is very good. The two in one tablet wins in this respect.



As for games, both two in one tablets and laptops can easily play Android mobile games through the simulator, and because of the leading configuration, it is even more fluent than playing on mobile phones. However, in terms of end games, the two in one tablet is generally not equipped with an independent graphics card for its ultra-thin size and heat dissipation, while notebooks are basically equipped with independent graphics cards, especially high-end game books. The configuration is no different from desktop computers. All kinds of mainstream end games can be played easily. Notebook wins in this respect. In terms of the whole entertainment, two in one tablets win two to one notebooks.



3、 Business office business office can be divided into light office (such as the use of office software), medium Office (the use of professional software, such as Photoshop, flash, etc.), deep Office (more virtual machines, server building, 3D software use, etc.).



In light office work, both two in one tablets and notebooks can be completed without pressure; In terms of moderate office work, due to the low-voltage CPU and no unique display, the performance of the two in one tablet computer can't keep up, while the notebook can still be completed; In terms of in-depth office work, two in one tablet computers have been completely powerless, while some highly configured notebooks are still capable.



In business office, notebook wins easily. 4、 When you go out to play, you should pay attention to portability and endurance. You may also need to store photos, process photos, edit diaries, etc.



In terms of portability, two in one tablet computers generally weigh less than 1.5kg and have a thickness of less than 10mm (excluding the keyboard); Even the thin and light notebook generally weighs about 2.0kg and its thickness is about 15mm. The two in one tablet wins in this regard. The battery life of the two in one tablet computer is generally about 7-9 hours in normal use; Notebooks generally take about 5 to 7 hours, and the two in one tablet wins again in this regard.



In addition, if you take a lot of photos, the storage space needs to be larger, while the two in one tablet generally has only 128G hard disk, and notebooks generally have more than 256g. Notebook wins in this respect.



Photoshop software is needed to process photos. The two in one tablet configuration will be a little difficult, and the notebook can be completed. Notebook wins again in this respect.



When editing a diary, the two in one tablet needs to be used with a keyboard, while the notebook has its own keyboard, which is equal in this regard.



On the whole, two in one tablets and notebooks are indistinguishable in this regard, and both have their own advantages and disadvantages. Two in one tablets are better than portability and battery life, and notebooks are better than doing more.



In addition to the needs in different scenarios, we also need to consider a problem, that is, cost performance, that is, who is better equipped with two in one tablets and notebooks at the same price? In other words, with the same configuration, the price of two in one tablets and notebooks is lower.



There are many categories of notebooks according to different needs, such as student books, business books, game books, thin books and so on. So here we will compare the light and thin book with the two in one tablet computer.



In the low-end market of 3000~5000, the configuration of two in one tablet computers is roughly as follows: ① CPU: Intel Pentium low-voltage processor, previous generations of core i5 or M5 ultra-low-voltage processor; ② Memory: 4g/8g; ③ Graphics card: core graphics card; ④ Hard disk: 128G solid state disk; ⑤ Display screen: 1920*1200 or 1920*1080 IPS high-definition screen. The configuration of thin and light books is roughly as follows: ① CPU: mainly the seventh and eighth generation low-voltage i5; ② Memory: 4g/8g; ③ Graphics card: core graphics card, mx150 independent display; ④ Hard disk: 256g solid state or 128G solid state +1t machinery; ⑤ Display screen: 1366*768 standard definition or 1920*1080 IPS high-definition screen. It can be said that except for the display screen, other configured notebooks have the upper hand.



In the mainstream market of 5000~8000, the configuration of two in one tablet computers is roughly as follows: ① CPU: the seventh and eighth generation i5 low-voltage version or M5 ultra-low-voltage version is mainly used; ② Memory: 4g/8g; ③ Graphics card: core graphics card; ④ Hard disk: 128G or 256g solid state disk; ⑤ Display screen: 1920*1200 or 1920*1080 IPS high-definition screen. The configuration of the thin book is roughly as follows: ① CPU: the eighth generation low-voltage i5 or i7; ② Memory: 4g/8g; ③ Graphics card: core graphics card, mx150 independent display; ④ Hard disk: 256g or 512g solid state; ⑤ Display screen: 1920*1080 IPS high-definition screen. At this price, the light and thin book configuration is basically ahead of the two in one tablet.



In the high-end market above 8000, the configuration of the two in one tablet computer is roughly as follows: ① CPU: the eighth generation low-voltage i5 or i7; ② Memory: 8g/16g; ③ Graphics card: core graphics card; ④ Hard disk: 256g or 512g solid state disk; ⑤ Display screen: 1080p or 2k/4k screen. The configuration of thin and light books is roughly as follows: ① CPU: the eighth generation i7 low-voltage version; ② Memory: 8g/16g; ③ Graphics card: core graphics card, mx150 independent display and above; ④ Hard disk: 512g solid state or above; ⑤ Display screen: 1080p or 2k/4k screen. In this range, the configuration of light and thin books is still higher than that of two in one tablets.



To sum up, there is a clear answer to the question of how to choose two in one tablets and notebooks. The advantages of two in one tablet lie in entertainment, portability and endurance; It lags behind notebooks in other aspects. If you watch videos and other entertainment, and often go out to play or travel light office, you can choose the two in one tablet computer, and others are recommended to choose the notebook.
