5 Best 2-in-1 Gaming Laptops | Convertible 2020

The best that you can get (with the current tech) is a mid range mainstream NVIDIA GTX 1050Ti.

Lenovo Yoga 720 comes in various configurations. This particular configuration is highly suited for gaming as well as high performance.

This laptop offers a powerful Intel Core i7-7700HQ Quad Core processor. In terms of performance, it is slightly more powerful than the Intel Core i7-8550U that we saw above in the Acer Spin 5.

Basically, this is a high performance processor. It is built for heavy applications as well as games.

While it has a similar processor as the Acer Spin 5 above, it excels in almost all other respects. It offers a whopping 16 GB of RAM. This is sufficient to run heavy editing and rendering software.

It also offers a very large 512 GB SSD. There is nothing faster than an SSD when we talk about storage. To have 512 GBs of it is certainly worth noting.

Gaming wise, it offers the mid range NVIDIA GTX 1050. It is the same graphics card as we saw above in the Acer Spin 5.

So why choose this over Acer Spin 5? Well if you want to just game, then Acer Spin 5 is great. However, if you want to work on professional software as well, then go for this Lenovo Yoga 720.

Lastly, you must note that this laptop offers a 4K UHD Touch display. While on a 15.6″ inch the difference 4K makes may not be noticeable, the benefit here is that it support 4K external displays.

All in all, if you are looking for a high performance option at a relatively reasonable price tag, then this is one of the best 2-in-1 gaming laptops.

Next up we have one of the one of the most famous 2-in-1 gaming laptops.

This is also the only convertible laptop that has the signature looks of a gaming laptop.

It has dark chassis with red accents. On top of that, it is also very slim and measures 4.85 pounds. This essentially makes this one the thinnest gaming laptops in the market.

Unfortunately, this laptop does not seem to offer much other than its gaming-centric looks.

For starters, it is very expensive. It is far more expensive than the Acer Spin 5 we reviewed above. However, despite being an expensive machine, it has a weaker processor i.e Intel Core i5-8250 compared to the Intel Core i7-8550U in the Acer Spin 5.

On top of that, it has the same graphics card i.e NVIDIA GTX 1050 and a mediocre 8 GB of RAM.

The only department where this laptop seems to excel is in the storage department. It offers 1 TB of HDD as well as 256 GB of SSD. However, storage alone does not warrant such a hefty price tag.

It does have one trick up its sleeve that may make it lucrative for many: You can stream your Xbox Games on this laptop.

This laptop needs to get at least $300 cheaper for us to consider this as a wise investment.

This is a good convertible laptop if you are after the looks of gaming laptop. It is also one of the best 2-in-1 gaming laptops if you are looking for cross platform support.

HP Spectre x360 is a premium line of ultrabooks that offers some of the best design profiles in the market.

HP has three “x360” lines i.e HP Pavilion x360, HP Envy x360, and HP Spectre x360. The Spectre series is the most exquisite as well as the most expensive.

Essentially, this is a high end business laptop. It just happens to have a very decent gaming hardware as well.

For starters it offers one of the most powerful processors of the 8th generation i.e the Intel Core i7-8750H. Unlike the Quad Core Core i7-8550U, this is a Hexa Core processor that has about 30% better performance.

You should know that this processor is far more capable of mere gaming. It is even featured in workstation grade laptops.

Besides that, this is also the first laptop in this list to offer the NVIDIA GTX 1050Ti. The laptops mentioned previously offered the NVIDIA GTX 1050 which is much weaker in comparison.

You should be able to play all AAA title at high graphics if you keep the resolution at FHD.

Aside from that, it offers an ample 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of SSD.

To top this all up, the 15.6″ screen is 4K. But the beauty of this laptop does not end there. Since this is a premium laptop, it is also constructed with the most premium materials. Take for example the screen which is made out of Corning Gorilla Glass.

The only issue with a laptop like this is its price. This is a supremely expensive laptop.

This is almost the same as the HP Spectre X360 NVIDIA we saw above. In fact, it comes from the same series just offers a slightly different configuration.

For starters, this particular configuration offers a much rarer Intel Core i7-8705G processor. It is slightly weaker in overall performance as compared to the Core i7-8750H, but it has a higher base frequency per core.

While this configuration offers a slightly less powerful processor as compared to the Spectre x360 configuration above, it does offer a much larger 1 TB of SSD drive. This much SSD can truly spoil you.

Secondly, instead of the NVIDIA GTX 1050Ti it offers the AMD Radeon RX VEGA M graphics card. The RX VEGA M is much better in terms of performance.

Here we listed some of the best 2-in-1 gaming laptops out there with a convertible mechanism. It should be obvious that convertible gaming laptops are a lot more expensive than their conventional counterparts.

Furthermore, since convertible laptops are designed to run cool and be portable, they do not tend to offer top graphics card. As such, the most powerful graphics card that you can find is the AMD Radeon RX VEGA M featured on the HP Spectre X360 above.

In any case, these monitors are great for gaming as well as for artists that require a digital studio. These can handle digital drawing with stylus fairly easily.
