Best 2 in 1 Laptops Under 600 For The Money

LENOVO CHROMEBOOK - BEST PORTABLE LAPTOP

This low-key Chromebook has a beautiful, backlit keyboard on which you can enjoy typing out 30,000 worded essays.  The thin bezels of this Lenovo chromebook has made it aesthetically pleasing though the bottom bezel is a tad too much on the thicker side.

Its 13.3” display gives crisp details with its 1920x 1080 resolution though it did feel a bit dim. The touch screen responded promptly to all commands and even the Chrome OS special gestures like swiping left for previous web pages. The battery lasts a full-day, with moderately heavy usage. It does get a bit heated up on heavy usage of more than 30 Chrome tabs along with YouTube and Spotify.

The front-facing speakers on the sides of the keyboard were loud in an average-sized room and were clearer than other laptops in this price range. USB-C ports for charging were present on both sides making practical use easier. Another mention goes to the microSD-card slot easily available to increase the 64GB space if required at any instance. It is light and easily lugged around anywhere.

SAMSUNG CHROMEBOOK V2 - BEST LAPTOP FOR COLLEGE

This sturdy Chromebook is slightly heftier than the others I have mentioned so far at 3.06 lbs but this extra metal in the body gives it a powerful feel for its size. This feel is offered at the lowest weight even with the add-ons of two cameras and stylus, marking its spot as one of the best 2 in 1 laptops under 600.

It has rounded corners and a slim finish and comes with a small stylus that is stashed in the right side of the laptop. It powered through for most of the tasks with multiple open tabs and had a good battery life of around 9 hours of binge-watching movies offline.

One of the features that make it stand out from the other Chromebooks in this price range that gives a standard 720p camera, is the second camera that this one has.

The 13 MP front-facing camera can take pictures of reasonable quality when folded up into tablet mode. The speakers are down-faced but provide a decent amount of bass which was surprising for a Chromebook.

This 12.2-inch laptop had 1920x1080 pixel resolution and gave vivid images. The colors were slightly warmer and did not strain my eyes, but it may not be the best if you do not like that. The keyboard felt fine but felt a bit cramped during longer sessions.

ASUS FLIP 12 - BEST GAMING LAPTOP

This chic Chromebook looks durable and colorful with its convincing design. The material was surprisingly stable and steady enough to endure most of the pressure that it was put through. Its powerful body lets it label itself as one of the best 2 in 1 laptops under 600.

Though marketed as a 12-inch screen, it’s actual display takes up 11.6” and gives a 1366x 768 HD resolution, which might not be up to the current standards. It may also be seen as a bit dim with its 245 nits of maximum brightness. It has soft keys with short travel that one can get used to quickly.

While there might not be much writing home about with this design, it packs enough punch for the price range. The speakers are loud enough with adequate quality powered by ASUS SonicMaster intelligence. The battery performance varies greatly with the kind of usage given and ranges from 2 hours in heavy-duty to almost 6 hours of video playing. Its trackpad was smooth to use and gave good control and navigation.

The bezels on the screen are of medium size giving the display a much better look and feel than laptops with bigger bezels. It is powerful enough to run moderately heavy tasks but lags significantly if you try to play games with high graphics.

DELL INSPIRON CHROMEBOOK 14”

This premium Chromebook has a glorious display with its aluminum shell that only warps with intentional damage. With its FHD (1920x 1080) resolution, the clarity was amazing and the images were crystal clear.

The 320 nit brightness is one of the highest that is available on a Chromebook. The glossy finish, though aesthetic, makes it a pain to use in the sunlight as there is no good anti-glare finish.

The design in itself makes it a cut above the rest, but then again the price is also comparatively high, concerning the other Chromebooks we have covered here so far. It lasted more than 10 hours of usage and then charged back to full in less than two and a half hours.

The spectacular specifications available on this Chromebook tag is it is one of the best 2 in 1 laptops under 600. The keyboard was smooth to type on with its well-sized keys and good track and while the clicks are on the louder side, they are not distracting while typing.

The touch screen is glossy-smooth and very responsive to touch. It comes with an EMR stylus that is thin and is stored within a niche. The sturdy hinge ensures that it is strong and brawny at every angle and resistant to gentle nudges.

It is one of the smoothest and quickest Chromebooks with apps opening immediately after you click on them and responding rapidly with hardly any heat issues even while gaming.

JUMPER 11.6 INCH TOUCHSCREEN LAPTOP

This Chinese 2 in 1 laptop is one of the lightest laptops and you can carry it everywhere without the slightest hitch due to its thin and light design. This portability makes one of the best 2 in 1 laptops under 600.

If you do not expect much from a convertible and wish to use it for the lightest tasks, this is adequate. The keyboard is surprisingly good with adequately sized keys and short travel without feeling cramped after a while. The battery life was a bit of a letdown as it did not even last for whole 3 hours, despite the good battery it is purported to have.

The FHD screen was adequate for moderate needs and did not feel grainy or chalky at all. The medium-thick bezels did not eat up too much space on the screen. It is a real value for money item and might be the cheapest item on this list, though it was difficult to use in the sun due to the non-oleophobic glass panel on it.

HP ELITE X2 1012 G1 CONVERTIBLE

This sensible Chromebook could be the priciest item on the list but is a real value for money with its detachable screen with a 3:2 display of 1920x 1280 resolution. This bargain slides this convertible into the list of the best 2 in 1 laptops available under 600.

The silver metal body with a stand to support it makes it very practical to use, though the hinge felt a bit flimsy with a tendency to fall sometimes. It can survive many a fall, which might be a testament to the military durability standards it is supposed to withstand.

It has high-end options like its fingerprint sensors and how it lights up when you approach the laptop. It has a Thunderbolt support USB-C port which is not explicitly mentioned in the product description at all!

The laptop has a great, backlit keyboard which was pleasant to use, and has a set of raised rubber platforms that keeps the screen away when the laptop is closed. It comes with a stylus that boasts 2048 levels of pressure which was a boon to sketch on when you feel inspired.

LENOVO FLEX 14 2-IN-1 CONVERTIBLE LAPTOP

This laptop may not be the best 2 in 1 option as the 360-degree hinge is not absolute, nevertheless, the rubber bumpers that stop the transition at the 300-degree mark, works perfectly enough for it to be solid enough to tap or swipe on. Thus this elegant Ideapad with its grey finish brands itself as one of the best 2 in 1 laptops under 600.

The screen was barely visible if taken out in the sun with its 271 nits brightness and glossy finish, but in the shade, the display was detailed with its FHD resolution. Its i5 Core made things easy to work on and did not slow down my usual productivity at all.

The performance was adequate for a moderate user for me and I did not face any heating issues. The SD card reader worked well and the connectivity ports were the expected standard. The keyboard was the standard Lenovo keyboard which is comfortable to work on.
