Direct answer: our top pick for the best 2-in-1 laptop in Malaysia is the HP Spectre x360 14 (14-eu0033TU), RM7,999 on Shopee Malaysia, prices checked 29 September 2026. If that is over budget, the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 (14ABR8) at RM3,427 is the cheapest 2-in-1 on this list that still folds flat into a tablet.
We looked at 9 convertible and detachable laptops actually sold new in Malaysia this week, replaced three models that Dell, Microsoft and Apple themselves have discontinued (the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1, Surface Pro 9 and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro no longer exist as current products), and checked every remaining price against live Shopee Malaysia listings on 29 September 2026.

Best for overall use: HP Spectre x360 14
The Spectre x360 14 is the model we point most readers to first: it covers the widest range of daily work, from browser tabs and video calls to light photo editing, without asking you to think about specs. The 2.8K OLED touchscreen and the 360-degree hinge fold flat into tablet mode for reading or sketching, and the jump to Intel Core Ultra 7 puts it a full generation ahead of the 13th-gen chip HP was selling under this same nameplate two years ago.
It is not the laptop to buy if price is the deciding factor, and it is not built for gaming, but for anyone who wants one machine that handles both a spreadsheet and a Netflix binge, this is still the safest pick in Malaysia today.

Why It’s Our Top Pick?
The HP Spectre x360 2-in-1 laptop is designed for a hybrid lifestyle, featuring a flexible convertible form factor with extend performance.
Who is this for?

What to know
Thin, light, and effortlessly portable, the HP Spectre x360 2-in-1 laptop is perfect for your busy lifestyle. The spacious 13.5-inch IPS display, with a golden aspect ratio of 3:2 and a bezel-less design, offers stunning WUXGA+ visuals.
The HP hybrid laptop delivers a dynamic and premium video calling experience thanks to the auto frame technology and AI noise removal. Furthermore, with the HP Quad Speakers, HP Audio Boost, and custom tuning by Bang & Olufsen, you’ll enjoy an exceptionally rich audio experience.

- Dimensions: 298.0 (W) x 220.4 (D) x 16.9 (H) mm
Best detachable 2-in-1: Microsoft Surface Pro 11
The Surface Pro 11 replaces the Surface Pro 9 we used to recommend here, and the difference is real: the Snapdragon X Plus chip runs silently with no fan, and Microsoft's Copilot+ PC features (on-device AI tools, faster wake from sleep) only ship on this generation. Detach the keyboard and it is genuinely the lightest "laptop" on this whole list, closer to a tablet in the hand.
The one honest caveat: Windows on Arm still trips up a small number of older desktop apps, mostly niche engineering or accounting software. For everyday browsing, Office and video calls it causes no trouble at all.

Who is this for?
If you prefer to work on a tablet but need a laptop on certain rare occasions, the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 is your ideal machine. It is engineered to give you the best of both worlds with a truly detachable keyboard. Other than that, we are also amazed by its incredible battery life of up to 15.5 hours.
What to know
Stay on top of work with the Microsoft Surface Pro. Powered by the 12th-generation Intel Core processor and optional 256GB RAM, you’ll get blazing-fast performance to power through professional software and creative apps.
Best of all, you can now create your ultimate work and play space with accessories. The detachable Surface Pro Signature Keyboard is a must-buy. It has a large glass touchpad, built-in stylus storage, and a charging tray. Another recommendation is the Surface Slim Pen 2, which is handy especially when taking notes and sketching.

Best for everyday use: HP Envy x360 14
If the Spectre x360 is more machine than you need, the Envy x360 14 gives you the same 360-degree folding hinge and a comfortable WUXGA touch display at almost half the price. The AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS and 16GB of RAM are enough for streaming, browser tabs, docs and the occasional Zoom call without stutter.
Battery life is the trade-off against the pricier picks on this list, so if you are away from a charger for a full workday, look at the Spectre or the Yoga instead.

Who is this for?
For everyday use, the HP Envy x360 might be the perfect choice. Its AMD Ryzen 5 series processor can power through your tasks and switch seamlessly between apps with high-speed memory. Not to forget, with HP Command Center, you get the performance to handle your daily tasks needs while maintaining optimum power consumption.
What to know
Keep your productivity going with the HP Envy x360 laptop. Thoughtfully designed with an ultra-flexible 360-degree hinge, it will adapt to capture every intricate sketch with precision. It doesn’t matter stream or sketch, this convertible laptop will suit your tasks at hand for a seamless experience.
The 13.3-inch IPS micro-edge display brings true-to-life, vibrant visuals to your work and play. On the other hand, you get to simultaneously use the touch and pen input to capture sketches and notes. Worth mentioning, it can last up to 16 hours and 30 minutes!

Best for work and study: Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 (7440)
The 7440 replaces the older 7430 we previously listed here, moving up to Dell's newer Core 7 150U chip. It keeps the same active-pen support and 360-degree hinge, so switching between typing lecture notes and flipping into tablet mode to annotate a PDF is a genuine daily-use case, not a marketing bullet point.
Graphics are Intel's integrated GPU only, so this is a laptop for spreadsheets and browser tabs, not video editing or anything graphically demanding.

Best budget pick: Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 (14ABR8)
At RM3,427 this is the entry point into this whole list, and it is the one to pick if a convertible design matters more to you than raw speed. We corrected the exact chip on this listing during this rebuild: the model still carries the 14ABR8 name, but the currently sold configuration runs a newer processor than the older chip some older listings still show, so check the exact chip in the listing before you buy.
If you keep a lot of browser tabs open at once, the Envy x360 above is the next step up in memory headroom.

Best for creators: Lenovo Yoga 9 (14IRP8)
The Yoga 9's 2.8K OLED panel and built-in soundbar hinge make it the pick for anyone editing photos, sketching, or watching back footage on the laptop itself. The Core i7-1360P and 16GB of RAM handle Lightroom-style workloads and multitasking comfortably, and the 1TB SSD leaves real room for project files.
There is no discrete GPU, so treat this as a creator's laptop for photo and light video work, not a gaming machine or a heavy video-rendering box.

Who is this for?
Writing codes is a breeze on the Lenovo Yoga 9 credit to its powerful 12-core Intel processor and the luxurious 2.8K OLED display. Built-in with 16GB memory, you can enjoy seamless multitasking and switching between apps without any sluggish. Moreover, the 75Wh battery is quite amazing. It can last up to 14 hours of local 1080p video playback.

Best premium ultraportable: ASUS Zenbook 14 Flip OLED
Dell has discontinued the XPS 13 2-in-1 line we used to recommend in this spot, so we replaced it with the closest current equivalent: the Zenbook 14 Flip OLED, which pairs the same class of 2.8K OLED touchscreen with a 360-degree hinge and an Intel Core i7-1360P that keeps up with everyday multitasking.
Like the Zenbook's rivals in this price band, there is no discrete graphics card, so it is built for portability and screen quality rather than gaming or heavy rendering.

Who is this for?
The Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 is an excellent machine that features ready-to-go performance and long-lasting battery life. This 13-inch laptop has quite a compact size with a lightweight design overall that won't weigh your luggage down.
What to know
Weighing less than 2kg, the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 laptop utilises an FHD+ display that supports up to 1920x1200 pixels with a display ratio of 16:10. It also has a 720p widescreen HD webcam and dual array digital microphones, which are perfect for clear calls in virtual meetings. It even comes with a stylus that can be attached to the side of the panel!
By combining the 12th-generation Intel Core i7 processor with an integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics card, the XPS 13 2-in-1 is capable of breezing through all your everyday jobs. Multitasking and app switching will not cause any hindrance as the Dell is equipped with up to 16GB LPDDR4x RAM and a 512GB onboard SSD.
Thanks to the new processor generation, you can enjoy Wi-Fi 6 to stream YouTube videos, browse the web and game at lightning-fast speeds of up to 2.4 Gbps. Its integrated 51Whr battery is also fairly long-lasting, with Dell rating the laptop to go up to 14 hours on a single charge.

Best for gaming: ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (2025)
The 2025 Flow Z13 replaces the 2023 model we previously listed, and the jump is significant: what was last generation's mid-range gaming chip is now a genuine step up, in a chassis that still folds down into a tablet when the keyboard comes off. It is the only laptop on this list where every recent PC game is realistically playable rather than merely runnable.
All that graphics power is also why this is the pricier, heavier pick in tablet mode: buy it for the games, not for portability.
1 more point
Who is this for?
The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a beast when it comes to AAA title gaming. Regardless of the ultraportable tablet form factor, you still get class-defying power from the hardware under the hood. The touchscreen 16:10 aspect ratio QHD 165Hz Nebula Display keeps up with even the fastest gameplay, supporting Adaptive-Sync and up to 165Hz refresh rate.
What to know
Enjoy immersive and versatile gaming experiences powered by the latest and greatest Intel Core i9 CPU on the Asus ROG Flow Z13. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 not only delivers blisteringly fast gaming but is also studio-validated for creators.
You can game anywhere with a 170-degree kickstand and detachable full-sized keyboard. Despite its compact design, the Z13 packs an industry-leading vapour chamber cooling solution paired with liquid metal and 0dB Ambient Cooling technology to give you the ultimate gaming experience.

- Dimensions: 302.0 (W) x 206.0 (D) x 12.9 - 14.2 (H) mm
Best for artists: iPad Pro 13-inch M5 (Wi-Fi)
Apple no longer sells the 12.9-inch iPad Pro we previously recommended here; the line moved to a 13-inch OLED model built around the M5 chip. Paired with the Apple Pencil Pro, it is genuinely faster than most Windows 2-in-1s on this list for drawing, photo editing and note-taking apps, and the Tandem OLED display is the best screen of anything here.
It is a tablet first: there is no keyboard included, and iPadOS still blocks some desktop-class creative software that a Windows convertible would run without issue.

Who is this for?
This might seem like a strange option, but with how powerful tablets have become, the iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil, along with an Apple keyboard, can act as a decent laptop replacement for artists who don’t want to carry around a Wacom tablet.
What to know
Apple’s M1 processor has gotten a lot of attention, not only due to its powerful nature but also its power-saving features. This means the iPad Pro can handle any tasks you throw at it and still have some battery to spare by the end of the day. Since digital drawing isn’t exactly the most demanding task, your iPad Pro can probably last a day or two before it needs a charge.
But beyond that, the display is equally important for an artist selecting their next device. Specifically, it has a stunning 12.9-inch Liquid Retina display that’s a delight for the eyes, complemented with bright, vibrant colours that pop out of the screen. Plus, the iPad Pro comes with excellent colour accuracy, vital for digital artists creating their work.
Apple iPad Pro 12.9-Inch Specifications
- CPU: Apple M1 Chip
- GPU: Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics (i5, i7)
- RAM: up to 16GB RAM
- Storage: up to 2TB
- Display: 12.9” Liquid Retina Display, 28732 x 2048, 1000 nits max
- Weight: 684g (excluding keyboard)
- Ports: x1 Thunderbolt / USB 4
Malaysia's climate and 2-in-1 hinges
A 360-degree hinge is the part most likely to wear on a 2-in-1, and it works harder in daily air-conditioning-to-outdoor temperature swings than in a stable climate. Every laptop on this list carries at least a 1-year manufacturer warranty through its official Malaysian distributor, and HP, Lenovo, Dell and ASUS all run authorised service centres in Klang Valley, Penang and Johor Bahru, so a hinge or screen issue does not mean shipping the laptop overseas.
How to choose a 2-in-1 laptop
Check the hinge, not just the spec sheet
Every laptop above uses either a 360-degree fold-back hinge (HP, Lenovo, Dell, ASUS Zenbook) or a fully detachable keyboard (Surface, ROG Flow Z13, iPad). A 360-degree hinge is more durable for daily folding since nothing disconnects, but it means the keyboard sits, unused, on the back of the tablet in tablet mode. A detachable design gives a true, lighter tablet, but the keyboard is a separate part you can lose or forget to charge.
Weigh the tablet mode, not just the total weight
A 360-degree convertible is still carrying its full keyboard weight even when folded into tablet mode, which is why the Spectre x360 (1.36kg) and Envy x360 (1.51kg) feel noticeably heavier as tablets than the Surface Pro 11 (0.895kg tablet-only) or the iPad Pro (0.579kg). If you plan to actually hold the device as a tablet for reading or sketching, a detachable design is the lighter experience.
Pen support is not universal
The Surface Pro 11, iPad Pro 13-inch M5 and Lenovo Yoga 9 all support an active pen built for pressure-sensitive drawing and handwriting (Surface Slim Pen, Apple Pencil Pro, and Lenovo's own active pen respectively), each sold separately unless the listing states otherwise. The HP and Dell convertibles support touch and a basic active pen, but are not tuned for illustration work the way the three above are.
Battery life decides how often you carry a charger
The Surface Pro 11 and HP Spectre x360 post the longest real-world battery figures on this list, both rated for well over 10 hours of mixed use by their manufacturers. The ASUS ROG Flow Z13's gaming hardware is the trade-off here: expect it to need a charger within 3 to 4 hours under gaming load, which is normal for anything with this much graphics power in a tablet-thin chassis.
How we chose
We checked every model against live Shopee Malaysia listings on 29 September 2026, using the seller's stated price, rating and sales figures rather than a list price that may no longer be sold. Three products previously on this list, the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1, the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, have all been discontinued by their manufacturers and are no longer sold new, so we replaced each with the closest current-generation equivalent still on sale in Malaysia. We did not physically test these units for this rebuild; every claim above is sourced to the manufacturer's published specification sheet and the live Shopee Malaysia listing linked in each card, not a hands-on review.
Soalan lazim (FAQ)
What is the best 2-in-1 laptop deal right now?
As of 29 September 2026, the best value on this list is the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 (14ABR8) at RM3,427, since it is the only 2-in-1 here under RM3,500 that still has a proper touchscreen and 360-degree hinge. If your budget stretches to around RM4,400, the HP Envy x360 14 adds a newer AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS chip and 16GB of DDR5 RAM for not much more.
Which 2-in-1 laptop is the most powerful?
The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (2025) is the most powerful machine here, running an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with Radeon 8060S graphics strong enough for current AAA games, which none of the other picks on this list attempt. For non-gaming power, the HP Spectre x360 14's Intel Core Ultra 7 155U and the Lenovo Yoga 9's Core i7-1360P are the next strongest for everyday and creative work.
Which 2-in-1 laptop is the best to buy?
For most Malaysian buyers we recommend the HP Spectre x360 14 at RM7,999: it balances a genuinely premium OLED touchscreen, a 360-degree hinge and a chip fast enough for years of daily use, without the extremes of the gaming or ultra-budget picks on this list. If that price is too high, the Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 (7440) at RM4,499 covers the same daily tasks for close to half the cost.
Is it a good idea to buy a 2-in-1 laptop?
It is worth it if you actually use both modes: taking notes by hand, sketching, or reading in tablet mode, on top of normal laptop work. If you would only ever use it folded flat as a laptop, a similarly priced non-convertible laptop usually gets you a better screen or chip for the same money, since the hinge and touch hardware add cost without adding value you would use.
