Answer: (A)

A device that combines a keyboard with a touchscreen and can be used as a tablet is called a 2-in-1. This design lets you switch between laptop mode, where you use the keyboard and trackpad, and tablet mode, where the screen is touch-first and the keyboard is detached or folded away. The key idea is dual functionality: you get the traditional typing setup when you need it, and the portability and touch input of a tablet when you don’t. Other terms describe different kinds of laptops: a standard laptop isn’t focused on converting to tablet use, an Ultrabook emphasizes being thin and light, and a Chromebook centers on the operating system rather than the form factor—though some Chromebooks can also be 2-in-1 devices.
