Microsoft knew how to see at the time what no one else saw. The vein of convertibles and there that directed its steps betting on a successful Surface range that also has served as inspiration for other manufacturers that have opted for the same model of product. Thus we have seen more than interesting proposals from Lenovo, HP or Samsung.

Meanwhile, convertibles continue to provide new solutions and increasingly attractive proposals for the end user who is looking for a portable device but with a large part of the features that a laptop can offer.
