Expert tester comments
This is a 2-in-1 laptop that can also function as a tablet. However, its 16-inch size makes it a rather large unit to hold, so tablet functions would be best undertaken while resting it on a desk. A stylus is supplied for handwriting and drawing tasks. There is a good array of ports on its edges, it has decent processing speed and very fast storage, but it turned out to be sluggish in our Wi-Fi tests.
