The best part about owning a 2-in-1 that runs Windows 10 is that they are quite capable laptops while being portable enough to be a tablet to read on. The two 2-in-1s in question are the XPS 12 and Surface Pro 3.

While the XPS 12 is a stunning new entrant, the Surface Pro 3 is a year old veteran that's holding its ground.

The Dell XPS 12 has a 4K Ultra HD display that stretches from one edge to the other and gets protection from a Gorilla Glass. The 8 GB RAM and Core M processor promise efficient handling of everyday tasks, but don't expect it to excel at graphic intensive ones. With a 8 MP camera on the back and 5 MP in the front, the tablet doubles up as a laptop with backlit keyboard on the mobility base. The 1,24,990 price tag might not go down well for most and that's where the Surface Pro 3 come in.

For half the price of a Dell XPS 12, you can get your hands on the Surface Pro 3 on Amazon. The tablet sports a fourth generation Intel i3 processor capable of handling graphic heavy softwares. The tablet-laptop hybrid sports a full HD 12-inch display which leverages the kickstand to prop up as a display on the table or your lap, but to use it as a laptop, you'll have to buy the keyboard. You can also book a demo at your home or office instead of visiting a store. At 58,990, the Surface Pro 3 is well worth consideration against the iPad Pro, MacBook Air or any other laptop or tablet around the 50,000 mark.

But if you don't plan to spend that much, there is a long list to Windows 10 tablet-laptop hybrids capable of being your daily work or study companion without any major flaws. You can pick one up for anything between 10,000-30,000.
