Expert tester comments
ASUS' Vivobook 14 has a dual-hinge screen that allows the screen to tilt all the way over so that you can use it as a tablet. A stylus is supplied so that you can draw or write on the screen, but our experience with it as a tablet wasn't great. It's better as a regular laptop, with a touchscreen that can aid basic navigation tasks, as you can use your finger to access menus, drag and close windows.
