2in1s make a laptop immensely more versatile and useful: - Tent mode is a much better to watch movies on or play games (via controller) - In tent mode you can position a keyboard how you like, and you can put a secondary screen more how you would on a proper desktop. This way you can create a comfortable full desktop work environment on every desk.

I wouldn't even care much about the touchscreen otherwise, although it's a nice way to read articles on a train.

Didn't really think about tenting it, thanks for explaining. I don't game or watch much media beyond the occasional how-to on YouTube, so the usefulness was lost on me. Appreciate the perspective, since I frequently get asked "which computer should I buy for X" IRL because I'm the local crufty computer guy, I guess.
