Ever looked at the beautiful Dell XPS 13 and thought that it might make a great convertible?

The Elite x3 is a phone for business, according to HP, and the addition of a new barcode scanner case unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2017 expands the feature set for businesses.

Panasonic's Toughbook line has a reputation for ruggedness, and the new CF-33 2-in-1 tablet is absurd in all the best ways.

Consumer devices are fine for a lot of business applications, but corporations and governments sometimes need more. That's where the HP Pro x2 612 comes in.

While it's not the most impressive of tablets, even at its low price point, the Alcatel Plus 12 still stands out for doing things just a little bit different.

CES 2017 is over and we're all back home, but before we left Las Vegas, we gathered around the microphone for one of our favorite trade show traditions: the mega cross-site podcast!

CES always brings a flood of new gadgets and laptops and insane tech that'll never see the light of day — and the 2017 edition of CES was no different. Here are our favorites!

Acer, HP, Dell, and more dip their toes in the VR waters.

The Dell XPS 27 All-in-One PC has an enormous chin for good reason: there are a bunch of speakers in there.

Razer's opening up their Chroma RGB lighting tech to accessory makers. Oh, and they made a crazy full-room projector that makes your entire room your gaming canvas.

What can I say? Dell's new 32-inch 8K display is the most gorgeous picture I've ever seen. Those 5K displays should be ashamed.

Dell doesn't think you need to make a whole computer to dramatically change the user experience.

Because why not?

Despite making some truly excellent laptops over the years, Samsung's never made a true gaming PC. That changes now with the new Notebook Odyssey.

Samsung has updated their Notebook 9 Ultrabook, continuing with their ridiculously thin and light ways.

Lenovo's new Miix 720 2-in-1 tablet features the latest in processors, an improved pen, and just about everything else you'd want in an updated Surface Pro.

Lenovo's updating their whole ThinkPad X1 line — the Carbon laptop, Yoga convertible, and Tablet… tablet — with new processors, fast LTE, Windows Hello authentication, and more.

The biggest hurdle facing VR right now is a lack of content, and Lenovo has a smart way to fix that.

Lenovo has a pair of updated Y-series laptops for CES 2017 — and a whole new gaming-focused sub-brand. This is Lenovo Legion.

Alexa, show me Lenovo's new stuff.

Lenovo has a pair of laptop docks and a pair of new monitors that embrace the dream of a single cable of USB-C and Thunderbolt 3.

A question of semantics

There's been a small semantics debate amongst the Windows Central staff: what's the difference between a "2-in-1" and a "convertible"? Or are they just two ways of describing the same thing?
