Surface GoBest overall tablet with keyboardCPU: Intel Pentium Gold 4415Y | Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 615 | RAM: 4GB - 8GB | Screen:
10-inch 1,800 x 1,200 touchscreen | Storage: 64GB eMMC - 128GB SSD | OS: Windows 10 Home in S modeGreat performance for the moneyGood
keyboardStill no accessories includedLess powerful than an iPadMicrosoft introduced a very tempting 2-in-1 when it first unleashed the
Surface Go, which can essentially be thought of as a far more affordable version of the Surface Pro.Sadly, just like the Surface Pro, you
have to shell out separately for the detachable keyboard, but you can buy this bundled when ordering the Surface Go
And for not a lot of money, you get quite a lot of tablet here, with a very impressive 10-inch display, high-quality keyboard, and laudable
is a great all-rounder in terms of power, portability, and relative affordability, making it our top overall pick
Microsoft Surface Book 2 (15-inch)Best high-end tablet with keyboardCPU: Intel Core i5 - i7 | Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 620 (i5) - Nvidia

option for a power-packed high-end hybrid with a detachable keyboard
Samsung Galaxy Tab S6Best Android tablet with keyboardCPU: Snapdragon 855 | Graphics: Adreno 640 | RAM: 6GB - 8GB | Screen: 10.5-inch 1,600

keyboard option is the S6 for several reasons
This is a premium slate which boasts excellent performance levels thanks to its Snapdragon 855 chip, and has a gorgeous Super AMOLED display
however, that the keyboard must be purchased separately, and is an optional accessory (although some retailers sell it in bundles with the
tablet, so you might want to look for one of these)
keyboard, but the downside is the accessory is pricey
Lenovo Miix 630Best Windows on Snapdragon tablet with keyboardCPU: Snapdragon 835 | Graphics: Adreno 540 | RAM: 8GB | Screen: 12.3-inch
1,920 x 1,280 resolution | Storage: 128GB - 256GB | OS: Windows 10 S ModeSmart designAmazing battery lifeReasonably priced compared to
2-in-1 with a great 12.3-inch display, and Lenovo provides the Miix 630 with not just a detachable keyboard cover, but also a stylus as well
with performance, but the 630 is solid enough with general everyday computing
difference in terms of real-world performance, particularly not when comparing the price of that Samsung product to the Miix 630.This could
better bet for those hungering after a Windows on Snapdragon hybrid with some true grunt
(with all accessories bundled).Finally, note that you can buy versions of this machine with a traditional Intel Core i3 or i5
processor.(Image credit: Future)5
Surface Pro 7Best mid-range tablet with keyboardCPU: 10th-gen Intel Core i3 - i7 | Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics - Intel Iris Plus Graphics |
RAM: 4GB - 16GB | Screen: 12.3-inch 2,736 x 1,824 PixelSense display | Storage: 128GB - 1TB | OS: Windows 10Tried and tested quality
which simply gained a USB-C port (but with no Thunderbolt 3 support) and an improved faster processor (with better integrated graphics).So
the performance front (although sadly, battery life is diminished compared to its predecessor).From an overall perspective in the hybrid
world, the entry-level Surface Pro 7 still represents a good pick for a mid-range 2-in-1, and can even cope with gaming decently enough
being sold, and is likely to receive some tempting discounts as an outgoing model
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet (3rd Gen)Best tablet with keyboard for productivityCPU: 8th-gen Intel Core i5 - Core i7 | Graphics: Intel UHD
Graphics 620 | RAM: 8GB - 64GB | Screen: 13-inch 3,000 x 2,000 resolution | Storage: 256GB - 512GB | OS: Windows 10Impressive build
qualityBundled stylus as well as keyboardPair of Thunderbolt 3 portsBattery life is only so-soIt may be a touch heftier than the Surface
touchscreen, and connectivity is impressive for a 2-in-1 in terms of the device being equipped with a pair of Thunderbolt 3 ports
iPad Pro 12.9Best tablet with keyboard for creativesCPU: A12X Bionic | Graphics: A12X Custom GPU | RAM: 4GB - 6GB | Screen: 12.9-inch 2,732
the correct language for the keyboard).The detachable keyboard is solid enough effort, but what really sets the iPad Pro apart from the
competition for creative types is the fantastic display which is impressively bright, and boasts support for the P3 wide color gamut
experience, compared to say Windows, although Apple is trying to provide that with iPadOS to move the tablet away from its mobile (and iOS)
The iPad Pro 12.9 is also eye-wateringly expensive if you want a decent amount of storage, with the detachable keyboard and stylus adding a
considerable dollop of extra cost
Google Pixel SlateBest tablet with keyboard running Chrome OSCPU: Intel Core m3 - Core i7 | Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 615 | RAM: 8GB -
16GB | Screen: 12.3-inch 3,000 x 2,000 resolution | Storage: 64GB - 256GB | OS: Chrome OSExcellent screen that makes colors popImpressive
plus keyboard combo that runs Chrome OS, then this is the best pick (out of a vanishingly thin field, admittedly).The Slate is a nicely
designed piece of hardware with a beautiful display that really makes colors pop, plus it benefits from good battery life, and the keyboard
cover itself is a palatable enough accessory
performance.You can buy the Pixel Slate bundled with the keyboard at some online retailers, but the price tag is, frankly, pretty exorbitant
Panasonic Toughbook CF-33Best rugged tablet with keyboardCPU: Intel Core i5-7300U | Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 620 | RAM: 8GB - 16GB |
Screen: 12-inch 2,160 x 1,440 resolution | Storage: 256GB - 512GB | OS: Windows 10Fully rugged hybridMeets MIL-STD-810G standardGood
keyboardReally expensiveA rugged 2-in-1 is another niche area, but for those who need a tablet with keyboard which can take some punishment,
The keyboard is well worth the extra outlay, because this is an excellent accessory, giving you a nice typing experience with a good level
of travel (for a detachable unit).Battery life is superb, which is obviously great for those using the CF-33 in the field, plus you get a
high quality display, and a 2-in-1 capable of surviving drops and shocks, rain, extreme temperatures and humidity
The CF-33 meets the military-grade MIL-STD-810G standard for toughness, and perhaps the biggest downside for those wanting a truly rugged

detachable keyboard.Alternatively, for a similar bargain basement model, check out the Chuwi Hi10 Air (just remember that this is another
