If you’re fine with Chrome OS, then the Lenovo Chromebook Duet (review) could be a great device, particularly since it’s even cheaper. And for those wanting a Windows machine, should look at the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3i for its detachable design or the excellent Surface Go 2 (review), although it might cost you a little more.

With price no bar, you can consider the higher-end Microsoft Surface Pro 7 (review), which continues to lead the detachable market. Lenovo, too, recently came out with a similar device called the Yoga Duet 7i. Both devices offer the best-in-class 10th-gen Intel Core processors. On the Android side, the best you can get is the Galaxy Tab S7 series that now also comes with a 12-inch Plus model. The best part is that the S Pen stylus comes bundled with the S7, so it’s keyboard is the only accessory you must buy separately.
