You've already got yourself into logic trap with a minipc attached to the back of a display, but still keep double-downing?
That convertible laptop is not 2-in-1 and it's VERY thick (3 plus times thicker) and hefty compared to actual tablets. There's no "tablet" in it, it's a misleading marketing.
I bought my wife a Dell "7506 2in1" (as Dell calls it), and it has the same 'flip the keyboard 180 degrees on its back to turn it into a tablet' [aka Convertible] design. It is also heavy as heck, and not directly comparable to a standard tablet in weight, bulk or battery life, but when I went to buy it, I compared it to many "2 in 1"s, and there were several leading brands that offered similar products at that time. I may not like that overly broad category either, but when enough of the market does agree with it, you kind of need to begrudgingly accept it. Technically, I'm wrong when I pronounce a certain image format "GIF" with a hard 'G', and certain drives as "Scuzzy" drives, but I have enough populace behind me that I can do it and others will understand. Feel free to rail against the fitness of the classification '2 in 1' in these cases, and I may do so as well right along with you, calling it silly and inappropriate, but I won't plug my ears, hum loudly and refuse to acknowledge it, or say that it is false. Marketing is about perception, and does not need to correlate with facts to be accepted or even successful.
