A device that combines a large tablet and a detachable keyboard is called what?

• A. 2-in-1
• B. All-in-one
• C. Ultrabook
• D. Chromebook

Answer: (A)

Hybrid form factors blend tablet and laptop use. A device that is basically a large tablet with a keyboard that can be detached fits the two-in-one category, because it offers two modes: tablet mode when the keyboard is detached and laptop mode when the keyboard is attached for typing. That makes the term two-in-one the best descriptor. The others describe different things: an all-in-one is a desktop with the computer built into the monitor; an ultrabook is a thin, lightweight laptop not defined by a detachable keyboard; a Chromebook is simply a laptop that runs Chrome OS. So the correct term is two-in-one.
