The best Windows tablet: review, specifications and reviews. The best tablets with keyboards on Windows OS
The tablet is great for Internet surfing, watching YouTube videos and mobile toys, but which one is an assistant in your work? Until recently it was believed that no– after all, typing and working with text documents on a touch screen is very inconvenient; the virtual keyboard takes up a good half of it.
However, manufacturers of mobile equipment managed to find a solution to the problem and began producing transformable (or hybrid) tablets. This article will tell you how hybrid devices differ from regular ones and will introduce you to the best transformable tablets that can now be found on display.
Hybrid tablets are touch devices that can be connected to physical keyboard. Such a transforming gadget is the best option for both a student and an office worker who does not want to carry a heavy laptop with him everywhere. Transformers have gained fame as “grave diggers” of netbooks; Previously, people who needed compact laptops preferred mini-laptops - but now you won’t find them on display during the day.
A transformable tablet is more convenient and functional. If you need to type something, just connect the keyboard in a simple way - and start drumming your fingers on the keys. If you need to watch a movie or check social networks, you can detach the keyboard, saving the gadget from excess weight and making it more mobile.
The fact that they are equipped with good cameras also speaks in favor of transformers. Netbooks were completely devoid of photographic capabilities.
A type of transformable tablet can be called hybrid gadgets with a non-separable design. There are few such devices on the market yet, and the Lenovo Yoga Book (which we will talk about in detail later) stands out among them.
The gadget consists of 2 parts: the screen and the so-called Book Pad– a multifunctional panel that can perform both the role of a keyboard and many other roles. Hybrid devices with a non-separable design are very thin - so much so that even when folded they are thinner than some regular tablets- and quite expensive. The technology is still new, so using such devices is not only convenient, but also prestigious – hence the premium.
The best tablets with keyboards of 2017
Our top 5 presents the best hybrid tablets for any income. Even the buyer whose budget fits into just one bill will find a high-quality model that is suitable for the price in the list.
ASUS Transformer 3 T305CA 4Gb / 128Gb
- Chipset: 2-core Intel Core M3 7Y30, clock frequency 1000 MHz
- Operating system: Windows 10
- 4 GB / 128 GB
- Display: diagonal 6 inches, resolution 2880×1920
- 13 Mpix / 5 Mpix
Price: from 39,990 rub.
ASUS Transformer 3 T305CA is not just another gadget with flagship characteristics, “stuffed” with innovative technologies; the manufacturer calls this device revolutionary and is proud of it – and deservedly so!
The key advantages of Asus Transformer 3 are assembly and design. The tablet is the best confirmation that a metal product can be light and compact. Despite the fact that the gadget is actually an aluminum beam, its weight is only 695 grams and its thickness is 6.9 mm. When creating a case, more than 100 high-precision milling operations are performed - at the final stages, circular grinding is carried out, thanks to which the gadget receives a beautiful cut of the edges.
An entire article is not enough to describe all the outstanding technical characteristics of the Asus Transformer 3 - so we will focus on the main thing. The gadget boasts a phenomenal screen resolution (3K) and excellent pixel density, but what is more interesting is that the user is offered an increased color space coverage - 121% sRGB! This means that the tablet conveys shades more reliably and richly than any other current gadget. The advantages of Transformer 3 also include a high-performance processor from Intel, surround stereo sound provided by 4 speakers, a fingerprint sensor and a proprietary Asus Sleeve Keyboard, which is included in the kit.
The tablet has only one minus - the price is impressive; Not everyone is able to allocate about 40 thousand rubles to purchase a “pill”.
Advantages

- The presence of a digital pen that recognizes 1024 levels of pressure.
- A large number of various ports - from USB0 to VGA and HDMI.
- Supports SonicMaster Premium technology for premium sound.
- Large screen with outstanding resolution.

- Operating system: Windows 10
- Memory (RAM/user): 2 GB / 32 GB
- Display:
- Cameras (main / front): 5 Mpix / 2 Mpix
Price: from 14,700 rub.
Lenovo Miix 300 will certainly appeal to buyers who do not have enough budget to buy Asus Transformer 3 and the like. A tablet with a keyboard has a modest price, but this does not mean that it is bad.
The gadget runs Windows 10, a rather demanding operating system. However, there is no talk of lags or freezes - the device is equipped with a powerful 4-core chipset from Intel, which, coupled with 2 GB of RAM, provides decent performance. The screen is not capable of boasting an impressive resolution (it has only 1280x800 pixels), but this is not necessary - the well-proven Bay Trail video processor is responsible for the image quality.
Advantages
- Productive processor.
- MicroSD card support.
- Availability of Bay Trail video processor.
- Built-in accelerometer.
- 5-point multi-touch.
Flaws

- Cameras (main / front): 5 Mpix / 2 Mpix
Price: from 22,790 rub.
Pavilion x2 10 Z8350 cannot be called perfect a hybrid tablet, however, relative to the price, which is quite modest, the functionality of this “tablet” is high. The tablet with an HP keyboard is equipped with Windows 10, a modern processor from Intel and 4 GB of RAM - this is enough to, for example, watch videos with FullHD resolution, edit photos, or open a couple of dozen tabs in the browser. It is worth noting that watching movies on a transformer from HP is a pleasant experience, because the device boasts a screen with wide viewing angles and built-in acoustics from Bang&Olufsen, known for its premium audio equipment.
As for the shortcomings, users most often complain that the developers paid too little attention to the design and ergonomics of the x2 gadget. The screen panel is significantly heavier than the keyboard panel, therefore, being on the user’s lap, the device constantly turns over. In addition, the device along with the keyboard dock is quite heavy - its weight is 1.12 kg.
Advantages
- High performance.
- Speakers from Bang&Olufsen.
- Capacious battery with a service life of up to 8 hours.
- A high-quality screen – albeit with a low resolution.
- Lots of useful pre-installed applications.
Flaws
- Considerable weight.
- The keyboard is uncomfortable and may be difficult for people with thick fingers to use.
- Windows 32-bit version.

- Operating system: Android0
- Memory (RAM/user): 4 GB / 64 GB
- Display: diagonal 1 inch, resolution 1920×1200
- Cameras (main / front): 8 Mpix / 2 Mpix

It’s easier to buy a tablet with a keyboard running on the Windows operating system - most of them are available. But there is also something on the market for fans of the Android OS. One of the best transformers with a “green robot” “on board” - Lenovo Yoga Book YB1-X90L.
Doubts about whether the Yoga Book is worth the money they ask for it disappear as soon as the buyer sees the device. The gadget has a truly attractive design and is rightfully one of the most compact transformable tablets. The thickness of the device when unfolded is only 4 and a half millimeters, and the weight is 690 grams. Yoga Book has a non-separable design - it is equipped with a mechanism that allows you to rotate the screen panel 360° and use the gadget in 4 different modes.
The Lenovo device is literally packed with innovative technologies that make it easier for the user create. For example, thanks to the Note Saver program and the Real Pen stylus with replaceable ballpoints, a writer can take notes on real paper by attaching it to the Book Pad - the text will be automatically converted to digital format. The proprietary stylus allows you not only to write comfortably, but also to draw comfortably: it recognizes 2,048 levels of pressure, capturing even the subtlest nuances of a stroke.
When choosing a Yoga Book, be sure to look at the alphanumeric designation of the model. The tablet, labeled YB1-X91L, unlike the one described above, runs Windows 10.
Advantages
- Attractive, innovative design.
- The presence of a multifunctional Real Pen that does not require recharging.
- A capacious battery with which the tablet can work up to 12 hours with active use.
- Supports Dolby Atmos technology, providing excellent quality sound.
Flaws

- Quite a significant price.
Irbis TW38

- Memory (RAM/user): 1 GB / 16 GB
- Display: diagonal 9 inches, resolution 1280×800
- Cameras (main / front): 2 Mpix / 0.3 Mpix
Price: from 5,844 rub.
The Irbis TW38 tablet is perhaps the most affordable of the transformers. We can recommend that parents buy such a device as a gift for a schoolchild in order to save the child from having to carry a heavy backpack with notebooks and textbooks. In general, the gadget from Irbis is suitable for anyone who considers a tablet as a work tool and does not really need multimedia functions.
The device is equipped with an Intel processor, the power of which is sufficient to ensure uninterrupted Windows operation 10. The device is quite compact - the display diagonal does not even reach 9 inches. The cameras on the Irbis TW38 are rather “for show”: you won’t get high-quality pictures from them. But business people will certainly be pleased that the Microsoft Office software package is pre-installed here - there is no need to climb through application stores in search of a suitable analogue of Word or Excel.
Note that the hybrid tablet from Irbis does not have a slot for a SIM card - you can access the Internet only after connecting to the Wi-Fi signal.
Advantages
- Compactness.
- Quite a powerful chipset.
- Pre-installed Microsoft Office software package.
- MicroSD card support.
- Loyal price.
Flaws
- There is no SIM slot.
- Unattractive design.
- Weak cameras.
Conclusion
The owner of a tablet made using hybrid technology will not experience problems or discomfort when it comes to typing text on the gadget. However, he will almost certainly have to get used to the Windows 10 operating system with its non-trivial tiled interface. A significant proportion of transformers operate under the operating system from Microsoft, and this is understandable - after all, a more convenient suite of office programs than Microsoft Office has not yet been invented, just as there is no such intelligent text editor as Word.
Alas, the medal also has reverse side: the user receives a full-fledged Office in exchange for the ability to install numerous applications that are replete with Google Play catalogs. Official store Windows 10 is still very far from Google's performance.
– long operating time. 4-core processor
The tablet computer is currently the most popular of portable devices, because they perfectly combine the compact size of a mobile device with the capabilities of a laptop. Manufacturers use various software for their devices, each of them has positive aspects, but if you need the tablet to be as close as possible to a personal computer, functional characteristics, we recommend choosing a gadget with the Windows operating system initially installed.

Until recently, tablets were divided into two large categories: those running Android, those running iOS control. It was quite easy for the user to choose a good tablet based on his own preferences. Gadgets appeared on Windows (full-fledged) recently, but they quickly found their user.
What is good about a tablet on the Windows platform?
Before we look at the best tablets running Windows 10 or 8, let’s figure out who needs it in the first place and consider its strengths. As you might have guessed, such gadgets run the popular operating system from Microsoft. Moreover, a full-fledged OS is installed, as on a regular personal computer. Not every user will like such gadgets. First, for the untrained, it will take time to understand the ins and outs of operating Windows on a touchscreen. Secondly, such tablets cost a little more than their Android counterparts.
Nevertheless, a good Windows tablet has a lot of advantages. It can open any software, developed for this OS. Many expensive models are even capable of running games. Almost any good Windows tablet can work with keyboards and mice that will turn it into a real laptop. Yes, and you can carry it in a small bag, because the size allows it.

Small, quite powerful and affordable price. The model occupies a leading place in the ratings, which included tablets running Windows 8. It’s difficult to say which is better, but you should definitely take a look at the Dell Venue 8 Pro. The gadget is equipped with an 8-inch screen with FullHD resolution. The display is quite bright and juicy. The “brains” is a fresh chip from Intel - Atom Z8500, running on 4 cores with a frequency of 1440 MHz. 4 GB of RAM is available for the user's needs, which is not bad for a tablet. To store information there is a built-in 64 GB drive.

It is quite clear, but in the sun there is not enough brightness, so you have to look closely. The manufacturer did not skimp on the cameras, installing a 5 MP module (main). The front camera is only 2 MP, but this is quite enough for Skype. I'm really pleased with the USB 3.1 port, which demonstrates excellent operating speed. There is also HDMI, which allows you to connect the tablet to TVs and monitors. The manufacturer claims 12 hours battery life at medium loads, which is very pleasing.
For the model, the user will have to pay more than 20,000 rubles. The kit also includes a removable keyboard, which can help out on long trips. From user reviews it becomes clear that the main drawback is 2 GB of RAM. Otherwise the tablet is the best option for purchase today.

There are two cameras installed, and the main one can take good pictures thanks to 5 MP. The front one is only 2 MP, which is only enough for video calls. The disadvantages include the lack of a full USB port. The battery is set to 6000 mAh, which is enough for 4 hours of serious work.
The cost of the tablet does not exceed 9,000 rubles, which makes it almost the most affordable in the segment. Users, judging by the reviews, were satisfied inexpensive gadget.

Reviews
Egor, 27 years old
I purchased a Huawei Matebook tablet. Very stylish aluminum body powerful processor, display good quality, it’s convenient that it is possible to connect a removable keyboard - any organization can find an extra one for a couple of minutes. In terms of functionality, it's just what you need. The disadvantages would include the poor organization of sound design.
Irina, 34 years old
For me, as for most women, the main thing is the light weight of the tablet. Carrying a laptop in a special bag every day is not very convenient. I found the lightest, most compact transformable tablet from Asus, in which the keyboard can be detached, which helps out at work. And in the metro there is always something to do, read or play.
Svetlana, 32 years old
I work as a teacher at a university. At work, a hybrid tablet with a removable keyboard is convenient for conducting lectures, keeping attendance logs, and student progress. After that, I don’t waste time - while I’m on my way home, I check the students’ work on the bus. I can make comments and corrections online.
