In recent years, hybrid laptops – devices equipped with a versatile form factor that is either detachable or convertible, have gained incredible popularity among users who value practicality and versatility at an affordable price.
Dell, a known creator of enterprise-tailored hybrids, unleashed its new lineup of 2-in-1 laptops in the form of the Inspiron 11 3000 (2-in-1) and Inspiron 13 5000 (2-in-1). These devices come with Dell’s own take on the hybrid form factor- a 360°-rotatable hinge that enables a transition to 4 different modes namely tablet mode, tent mode, tablet stand mode, and laptop mode.
