Is this convertible ? As in when needed would the screen detach to be used as a tablet ? Or, does it stay attached ?

Yes. Think of it as two computers in one. When you detatch (it completely detaches) the display part from the keyboard, its a Tablet, powered by a Android processor and operating system. And when attached to the keyboard (which is actually a computer on its own) you can either run it as a laptop running an Intel I5 or I7 Processor and windows 8 or 8.1 (the 8.1 upgrade is 100% free by the way), or run it in the same tablet mode (there is a button on the keyboard that lets you switch between Android mode or windows mode). The "Trio" part in the name comes from the fact that if you connect the keyboard to some other Display divice (such as a TV screen or desktop monitor), you can run the keyboard without the need for the display part...Essentually letting you use half as a tablet and the other half as a PC...Meaning you can have both the tablet and the Windows base part both working simultanious and speratly of each other. Pretty awesome computer really even for its price. Just be sure to take care of it and not drop it, like it did mine. :/

The screen fully detaches but only runs the Android OS in that configuration. If you want to use Windows, the screen must be attached to the keyboard.

screen comes apart to become a tablet and you can connect another screen to the base and use both at once

Yes, it's detachable. In fact, I tend to keep it detached and use the "clasp" as a stand for the ipad on the table, with the keyboard on my lap. Works very well that way.

I have never detached mine...there isn't really a reason to because you can use it 3 ways...like a laptop, just flat, or you can hold it to take pictures without removing the iPad from its case. Hope this helps! I absolutely love mine. I cannot think of a better case for an iPad.

No, you have to remove the keyboard in order to use it as a tablet with the case on.

It is a real laptop and also can be use as a tablet with the stylus (A very heavy tablet!) You can use Windows for tablet or Linux (e.i. Ubuntu which support its tablet function with the stylus)

No, it does not. I personally wouldn't want one either. It would make it heavier to carry around and it would rarely be needed by. Most tasks are done easily on the screen. But, that's just speaking from my point of view on my needs.

Hello David, The Envy X2 is called a convertible laptop because it can be used as either a tablet, or a laptop. The screen portion can be completely disconnected from the keyboard portion, and you then use it as you would any touch enabled tablet. You are able to disconnect the screen from the keyboard at any time, as the processor, memory, and hard drive are all in the screen portion.

I believe the screen flips so that it converts into a tablet PC which hides away the keyboard but allows use of the screen with touch (or a stylus) as well.

It's not for the phone, it's for the Samsung tablet. Yes it detaches easily and it does not take up much space.

It easily can fir a tablet, but you will have to keep in the section provided for laptop for safety purpose.

No it needs something more stable. A screen will not be able to hold the weight.

Not really. The screen is a thick metal and comes in pieces, if folded would ruin the screen.It is attached with nuts and bolts. If you remove the screen u are basically disassembling it. I would not recommend doing this.

I'm not sure what you're asking. It's a lap desk. There's very little storage, just a pocket. The only way you could use it is if you weren't the driver. Of course the bumps of driving may cause the tablet to fall off the lap desk.

Both. It can be used strictly as a tablet (window 8 operating system) or if you connect it to the key board, it acts just like a laptop with a touch screen. I love mine because of its versatility.

Nope...it is a laptop computer run by Microsoft Window 8...However, the touchscreen can be detached from the keyboard and you can use it as a tablet pc...

No it's not. Anyway, i think it is too heavy to give it a "tablet" use. If thats what you are looking for, stick with vaio flip, i have one also, and it is a lot lighter and faster, because of the ssd derive.

The tablet itself does not have a screen. It works like a mouse on a mouse pad.
