Choose this if / Avoid this if

Rule out poor-fit options before comparing finer details.

Avoid if

  • You will rarely use touch tablet tent or presentation modes
  • A conventional clamshell would provide a better configuration for the same job
  • You need a detachable keyboard rather than an attached flip design

Dealbreakers

  • The live model code differs
  • Touchscreen or 360-degree format is absent
  • Required pen or accessory is not included or compatible

Check before buying

  • Confirm exact model and UK keyboard layout
  • Check touchscreen hinge and intended modes
  • Verify whether the pen keyboard charger and adapters are included
  • Confirm memory storage ports weight and warranty
  • Recheck stock delivery returns and support

Choose another shortlist if

  • Use the note-taking route when pen-led annotation is the primary job
  • Use a lightweight route when carry weight matters more than flexible modes
  • Use the laptop configuration checker when software memory or ports remain unresolved

Detailed buyer guidance

Start with the physical format

A 2-in-1 only earns its extra complexity when folding the screen changes a repeated job. Decide whether you will annotate, present, read in tablet mode or place the machine in tent mode often enough to justify the hinge, touchscreen and accessory checks. All four picks keep the keyboard attached; none is a detachable tablet.

Who this is for

This route is for buyers who already need a Windows touchscreen convertible and want to choose between a compact OLED flip, a business pack with an included stylus, or a larger attached-keyboard format.

Who this is not for

It is not for buyers who mainly type at a desk, require a detachable keyboard, or expect every compatible pen to be included. It also does not rank hinge durability, drawing feel or battery runtime because UK Shortlists has not measured them.

Quick decision

  • ASUS TP3407SA-QL010W: the 14-inch OLED 360-degree starting point, with 16GB memory and 1TB storage. ASUS Pen 2.0 is supported, not evidenced as bundled.
  • HP EliteBook X Flip DG3Q2ET#ABU: the business configuration with 32GB memory, 512GB storage and an explicitly included stylus.
  • HP OmniBook X Flip 14 BH3F2EA#ABU: the compact attached-keyboard alternative with 16GB memory and 1TB storage. Treat the compatible pen as a separate purchase.
  • HP OmniBook X Flip 16 BH3G1EA#ABU: the larger-screen alternative with 16GB memory and 1TB storage. The selected configuration does not evidence an included pen.

Compare the modes you will actually use

The ASUS leads because its compact 14-inch OLED touchscreen and documented 360-degree hinge make the flexible format easy to understand. It is not the right default when an included stylus is non-negotiable. Pen support means the hardware can work with ASUS Pen 2.0; it does not prove the live UK box contains one.

The EliteBook moves ahead when the selected pack’s included stylus and 32GB memory matter more than the ASUS display format. Keep that conclusion tied to DG3Q2ET#ABU. A different EliteBook listing can have different memory, storage or accessories, so a family name is not enough.

The two OmniBook options separate mainly by screen footprint. The 14-inch BH3F2EA#ABU is the more compact attached-keyboard flip. The 16-inch BH3G1EA#ABU gives more screen area but creates a larger object to hold, fold and store. Neither selected configuration should be described as including a pen. HP sells compatible pens separately, and compatibility still needs checking against the exact model.

Do not let tablet mode obscure normal laptop use. Check the UK keyboard layout, port positions, charger, memory, storage and screen size for the hours spent typing. Then check how the hinge moves through flat, tent and tablet-style positions. A large convertible can be useful for presentation or shared viewing while remaining awkward to hold; a compact one can be easier to reposition while offering less screen area.

Run the bundle check

Match the model code character for character. Open the box-contents or exact retailer specification and record whether the pen, charger and any adapters are included. Confirm the pen model separately when the source says only “support”. Check current delivery, returns and warranty, because the source-backed format does not guarantee a live commercial offer.

Use the note-taking 2-in-1 route when handwriting is the defining job. Return to the Laptop Configuration Checker if software, memory or connection needs are still open.

Known limitations

This is a desk-based comparison of published exact-configuration facts. UK Shortlists has not handled these hinges, written with the pens, measured display response, benchmarked performance or measured battery runtime. Product bundles and commercial terms can change after the review date.

What would change the selection

A selected model returns to hold if its exact UK identity, touchscreen format or bundle evidence drifts. A different configuration can move ahead only with a clearer exact source, a genuinely distinct flexible-use role and explicit keyboard and pen inclusion evidence.

When another role fits better

The first option is a useful starting point, not a universal winner. Move another role ahead when its use case, fit or ownership trade-offs match you better.

  • Step 1: Exact current UK configuration
  • Step 2: Touchscreen convertible format
  • Step 3: Hinge and usable modes
  • Step 4: Keyboard and pen inclusion
  • Step 5: Memory storage and screen-size trade-offs

FAQs & alternatives

Is a pen included with every pick?

No. Only the selected HP EliteBook pack explicitly evidences an included stylus. ASUS documents pen support and the two HP OmniBook picks do not evidence an included pen.

Are these detachable tablets?

No. These selections are attached-keyboard convertibles that fold or flip around a hinge.

Does a 360-degree hinge make one model better for everyone?

No. Screen size keyboard use ports weight and the real frequency of touch modes still decide fit.

Also consider

  • Choose a conventional laptop when touch modes would add cost or weight without solving a repeated job
  • Use a tablet with a separately checked keyboard when detachability is mandatory
