Consumer Reports – December 2018

Two-in-one convertibles such

as the Samsung Notebook

7 Spin can be used like a

traditional laptop or folded

back to become a tablet. In

terms of specs, the Notebook

7 Spin has an Intel Core i5,

8 gigabytes of memory, and a

256GB solid-state drive—it’s

speedy and powerful. The

display is 1920x1080: full

high-definition but not 4K.

That helps keep the price

down, and it works just fine for

most consumers.

Today’s laptops have more power, speed, storage, and battery

life than ever. But you don’t need every last supercharged feature.

Here’s how to get the tech you want at a price you like.
