An example of such a device can be ultrabook, which is thin and sleek notebook that has a reversible, sometimes removable, screen. With the touch display, at one moment can turn into a tablet. The only difference is slightly larger in size and weight, as well as the possibility of a quick return to full-fledged notebook.

Convertible notebook, though it is slightly larger than typical tablet, combines the advantages of mobile devices and notebooks. When you need the equipment to work, the laptop remains a traditional notebook. When something must be present and use a touch screen, a few moves, the laptop turns into a tablet. Despite the fact that a netbook or laptop is less convenient to use than the classical tablet, it offers a lot more options to the user.

You can often encounter a situation where both terms are used interchangeably. This is not entirely true, although in both laptop can be turned into a tablet. However, in the case of convertible laptops screen is permanently attached to the workstation, and hybrid laptop has a detachable display.
