2 in 1 Laptops with a nvidia gpu

[tommyzack]

Hey I was wondering if there were any options for a 2 in 1 laptop with an nvidia graphics card. Size does not matter and 4k would be preferred.
Thanks

Completely ignoring any budgetary constraints, here are a couple of 2-in-1s to consider.

From BestBuy US, there is this 15.6" Lenovo Yoga 720, at $1,400:

Highlights include a 2GB GTX 1050 card, 512GB of SSD storage, and a 4K touch-IPS panel. Weight is OK at 4.4lbs, but don't expect more than 5-6 hours of useful battery life due to the GPU and the 4K panel (and once you start playing complex games 3D games, battery life will plummet to something like 2 hours).

Newegg.com offer this 15.6" Dell XPS for $1,900:

Identical specs, but negligibly heavier.

Finally, Amazon US have this 15.6" HP Spectre, at $1,600:

If you want the latest Intel 8th gen CPU, then this is worth considering. No 10-series card, but the 2GB MX150 unit slots between the outgoing 940MX and a GTX 1050 - some refer to it as a "GTX 1030". The 940MX card has been a popular and reliable workhorse in the productivity laptop segment for quite some time offering just enough graphics power to run mid-level games. The MX 150 is the improved and beefed-up successor expanding the gaming field.

These are the most popular laptops (using your requirements), and they are all pretty expensive. The Yoga may seem the 'budget' option but Lenovo have apparently made it their mission consistently to under-cut their closest rivals by 10 to 20 per cent. The laptops generally offer solid build-quality and some useful features such as the Novo button.

Dells are popular among professionals in the photography and graphics fields due to the wide range of high-quality panels. Build-quality and customer support are a bit more of a mixed bag, and they clearly cater to a more conservative crowd in terms of styling.

The Spectre is my personal favourite - not that I can afford one right now - and it's still heads and shoulders above the competition in terms of styling. They are also typically the most expensive 2-in-1 option, but this particular Spectre does offer a state-of-the-art CPU and a useful GPU. But you really buy this thing for the fantastically good looks.

In terms of GPU, I've only considered 2GBs but 4GB versions are available for the GTX 1050 card. These are obviously more expensive. And there are several combinations involving i5-series with 6th and 7th gen sockets - subtract between $50 and $150.
