Los 5 mejores portátiles 2 en 1 de alto rendimiento en Estados Unidos, 2025

El touchpad se queda un poco pequeño con respecto al de la mayoría de portátiles, aunque cumple su función. Sin darte cuenta acabas compensando su reducido tamaño utilizando gestos táctiles directamente sobre la pantalla, algo a lo que acostumbrarse si sueles trabajar con ratón.

Battery life could always be better

Type Cover sold separately

The Surface Pro 9 with 5G will also run many applications under emulation, as a lot of Windows apps haven't yet been updated to fully support Windows on ARM.

The antenna on the 5G model is also much more noticeable, with small plastic lines surrounding the entire chassis to ensure good 5G connectivity. The Intel model has no obvious antenna lines.

Tablets typically don’t have varied port selections, and the Surface Pro 9 doesn’t change that: It has just two Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) ports along its left edge. As noted, the headphone jack that was on the Surface Pro 8 is gone for little explicable reason.

ARM introduces some system compatibility and stability issues

You'll pay extra for the keyboard and pen you want and need

You will pay dearly for Microsoft's most road-ready Surface Pro. The Microsoft Surface Pro 9 5G starts at $1,299.99 and that's without the Surface Pro Signature Keyboard and Slim Pen 2, which we consider critical additions to the Surface Pro 5G package and that will add...

If you want a full laptop experience, you’ll need to add on the cost of a leyboard cover. A stylus isn’t included either, making this expensive for anyone looking to work and game.

Stylus and keyboard add to cost

ARM model needs better app support

Despite the best efforts of the fans, the performance was consistently below key rivals, including its Surface Laptop 5 clamshell sibling. The SSD speeds either feel just short of a competitor or well behind, coming in at 3475MB/s read and 2519MB/s write.

As with the Pro 8, it’s frustrating that they’re still sold at a pretty significant additional cost. Yes, the device is a functional tablet on its own, but “2-in-1” as a category implies it can be both a tablet and a laptop replacement inherently, and it is always shown or...

La tapa se mueve hacia abajo cada vez que se pulsa una tecla, aparentemente debido al compartimento oculto más grande que alberga el Slim Pen 2. No es un problema y no hará que se pierdan teclas, pero el movimiento provoca una sensación de que algo está fuera de lugar.

La duración de la batería es uno de los aspectos más criticados de la Surface Pro 9. En pruebas de uso intensivo, la batería apenas supera las 8 horas, lo que puede ser insuficiente para usuarios que necesitan trabajar durante largas jornadas sin acceso a una fuente de...

Loss of stylus garage hurts

1-Click function keys waste space

That said, the fabric loop on the laptop sleeve that's intended to hold the stylus is no substitute for a proper built-in charging garage.

Too expensive for most people

You’ll find the same rounded edges and overall elegant design, innovative soundbar, and solid construction. The battery life and price are still its two biggest weaknesses, but the Yoga 9i remains a solid option in its eighth generation.

After running the laptop through our suite of battery tests, I found it to be a slightly below-average performer. It ran out at 7.75 hours in our web-browsing test, which isn’t great, and it couldn’t hit the 10 hours in the PCMark 10 Applications test that’s close to average.

You’re unlikely to get a full day’s work out of the laptop. That’s not surprising given the display and CPU, but it’s a little disappointing nonetheless.

Display could be brighter

The Yoga 9i doesn’t have much going on in the ports department; we would have appreciated an HDMI port, but at least it delivers a solid number of Thunderbolt 4 ports.

Overall, this is a really good pen experience, but because the pen is fairly long and thick, there’s no garage for it on the laptop. You need to make sure you carry it separately and don’t lose it.

To help manage this, Dell includes two dongles in the box: one USB-C to USB-A adapter for legacy peripherals, as well as a USB-C to 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter. The system also charges over the same ports, however, so you can't charge and use both dongles at once.

Even Apple has kept the headphone jack. On the MacBook Air with M2, Apple's thinnest laptop, there are two Thunderbolt ports, a headphone jack and the MagSafe charging port.

Capacitive function row not as good as keys

La modulación por ancho de pulso o parpadeo sigue presente en la mayoría de los niveles de brillo. Podemos detectar una frecuencia de 238.6 Hz de 0 a 52% de brillo y 60 Hz de 53% de brillo al máximo. No se espera que las opciones IPS alternativas tengan parpadeo o PWM.

Up front, I wish the Dell XPS 13 was easier to open. There’s really no lip to grab onto, so I had to rely on wedging a fingernail in there to lift the lid.

I’m less of a fan of the touch function row. The keys themselves don’t provide any feedback, and the lighting just doesn’t look as premium as the rest of the chassis.

Update August 31: Some Dell XPS 13 Plus OLED models are suffering an issue where the display is becoming detached due to the glue used. Dell is aware of the issue and is working to rectify it.

There’s just two ports. There’s no headphone jack. And Dell even took away physical function keys, replacing them with a capacitive row. There’s not even lines to denmark the touchpad; the entire area beneath the keyboard is one smooth piece of glass.

Capacitive function row lacks feedback

Touchpad can be oversensitive

Relatively short battery life

The final thing I will note is that so far there is no developer edition of the 2-in-1 with Ubuntu Linux installed by default. I was able to install and run Arch Linux without any major issues, but you might run into some hardware compatibility issues with older Linux Kernels.

El problema es que el mundo real conspira para llevarle la contraria a los diseñadores, y cuando estás fuera de la seguridad de tu casa o de una oficina, no se puede dar nada por sentado y a veces se necesita un jack de audio para grabar una pista de sonido para un vídeo o...

El Dell XPS 13 Plus incluye solo dos puertos USB-C Thunderbolt 4, y eso es todo. No hay toma de auriculares. Sin ranura para tarjetas microSD. No hay nada.

El sistema de refrigeración pasiva en algunas configuraciones puede generar throttling en cargas sostenidas muy elevadas, pero para el uso profesional habitual el equipo se comporta de forma fluida y estable.

En cuanto a conectividad, Dell apuesta todo por Thunderbolt 4: dos puertos USB-C y nada más. Sin USB-A, sin jack de audio en algunos modelos, sin lector de tarjetas. Un hub es prácticamente obligatorio para uso profesional habitual.

La decisión más controvertida es el teclado sin fila de teclas de función físicas, sustituidas por una barra táctil similar a la que tuvo el MacBook Pro. Tampoco hay trackpad con botones diferenciados — es una superficie continua de cristal.

La batería del XPS 13 Plus es el compromiso más visible de su diseño tan fino. En uso real de trabajo —navegación, documentos, videollamadas— puedes esperar entre 6 y 8 horas, dependiendo del brillo de pantalla y la carga de trabajo.

Para un portátil de este precio, esas cifras son discretas. Si la autonomía es prioritaria, el MacBook Air M3 ofrece resultados notablemente superiores, o considera el ASUS ZenBook 14 OLED como alternativa con mejor equilibrio batería-pantalla.
