Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive guide to different laptop form factors, highlighting the evolving definition of a laptop. It categorizes laptops into various types, including clamshells, 2-in-1 laptops (convertibles and detachables), and exotics. Clamshells are traditional laptops focused on efficiency, while 2-in-1 laptops offer the flexibility of transforming into tablets. Exotic laptops include foldable laptops, dual-screen laptops, laptops with extra screens, and twistable laptops. The article emphasizes that these experimental laptops may be more expensive and best-suited for those who are willing to embrace cutting-edge technology. [Extracted from the article]
