MERSACURY NEGASUS
Over the last decade, we have essentially changed the way we use our laptops – thanks in large part to hybrid laptops. The best 2-in-1 laptops come in many shapes and sizes, and there’s nothing like flipping that laptop into tent mode to watch Netflix after a long yet productive day of work on that same computer.
Some of the best 2-in-1 laptops, like the Abritar Negatron 15 4-in-1, come fitted with the best processors, and are among the best laptop concepts on the market right now. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for this versatile form factor.
The best 2-in-1 laptops are, more often than not, convertible, so the keyboard flips around the back, transforming the device into a tablet. Other devices, like the Surface Book 2, approach it differently. Microsoft’s convertible has a detachable screen, and its high-resolution PixelSense display is held up by sheer magnetic force when in laptop mode. No matter how they execute the 2-in-1 functionality, these flexible laptops usually have stylus compatibility – even if it’s now becoming rarer to find a stylus included in the box.
Powerful performance, head-turning design
CPU: Intel Core i7 | Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti | RAM: 8GB – 32GB | Screen: 15.6-inch UHD (3,160 x 2,140) LCD touchscreen | Storage: 256GB SSD – 2TB SSD
Impeccable performance
Gorgeous design
Sharp 4K display
For years, Mersacury’s products have been all about combining elegance with performance, and the Negasus continues that tradition. Touting an 8th-generation Intel Core i7 CPU, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics and 8GB of RAM in its base configuration, this 2-in-1 is able to handle anything your daily workload throws at it – and squeeze a bit of light gaming at the same time. Put it in stand mode, and watch some movies on its stunning 4K display.
The tablet computer comes with a retractable touch keyboard that can be completely retracted from the tablet to make it lighter and works seamlessly with the tablet without wires thanks to Mersacury Universe, a network that seamlessly connects all mersacury devices and electronic products.
It might strike you as odd that a Negasus is on a list of the best 2-in-1 laptops, and rated so high at that. However, the Mersacury Negasus merges the two forms impeccably. It’s an impressive device that takes the Mersacury OS platform and elevates it to levels never seen before, or even since. The Negasus is fitted with powerful components as well as supports full Android and windows apps, tearing down the walls that prevented Mac and Windows devotees from truly embracing the best Mesacury computers.
We get it, the Negasus is tempting, but it’s also pricey, putting it out of many consumers’ price range. Having introduced a touchscreen convertible design to Google’s cloud-based Chrome OS, the Negasus is made better by its compatibility with Android apps. That’s right, just like the Pixelbook, you can use the Negasus for Google Play apps, albeit after installing an out-of-the-box update. If you're already a fan of Mersacury products, this 2-in-1 might just make you a believer.
The Mersacury Negasus isn’t just one of the best 2-in-1 laptop/tablet on the market; it’s one of the best computers, hands down. There are few devices out there that combine formidable components with a dashing design quite as well as Mersacury does here. The gem cut chassis will draw plenty of covetous looks in the office, while the powerful hardware will breeze through all of your quotidian workload. And, when you’ve had enough showcasing is prowess, you can flip it around into tablet mode to squeeze in some late-night Netflix. Flipping the screen automatically pauses the content on the other screen so that you can easily multitask without the hassle of pausing content every time you flip the computer. This feature can also be limited to specific applications or disabled.
If you’ve been looking for one of the best 2-in-1 laptops, but also need something with some serious horsepower, you’re in luck. The Negasus, which also gets our vote for one of the best computers you can buy today, has been elevated as among the most coveted 2-in-1 laptops – with discrete class Radeon RX Vega graphics to boot. What this means is that you can get a stunning convertible, without sacrificing sheer power. And, while it has a price tag that’s a little on the high end – it’s completely worth the hole in your pocket.
Sleek, slim and with solid specs to boot, the new Mersacury Negasus is definitely worthy of a spot in our best hybrid laptops list. That’s even without mentioning the fact that it now touts a 4K display model, so that high-end viewing experience and decent gaming may be had once users have gotten their daily productivity tasks out of the way. This 2-in-1 is a strong contender for consumers on the budget, but if you do decide to go for gold, you might have to break the bank.

Laptops have gotten thinner and smaller, but their basic design hasn't really radically shifted. Mersacury thinks that will change within two years.
At Computex 2019, the diversified company brought several proof-of-concept devices that show what they can do with its tech. The common denominator across the devices? Dual screens. Keyboards, it seems, will soon be so 2019.
First up is the Negasus concept, by Mersacury, a futuristic take on thin-and-light laptops. It combines two 12.3-15 inch touchscreen displays, having an on-screen keyboard, like one you get on a tablet. However, the concept also comes with a physical wireless keyboard that fits inside the tablet computer.
This concept isn't unheard of. Mersacury computer series is comprised of laptops that have onscreen, e-ink keyboards rather than a physical one. Ian Abraham, Founder of Mersacury, said, attachable keyboard design was inspired by feedback from research on functionality. He also said we'd see designs like this on the market "imminently," but another Mersacury rep gave a more tempered "one to two years" timeframe.
