name change: laplet → 2-in-1 laptop

Article name change: laplet → 2-in-1 laptop. "laplet" is a name hardly used. TheHoax (talk)

What is a 2-in-1 computer? I do not see this on the web often. Can you provide some links? TranslucentCloud (talk) 13:48, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
TranslucentCloud Sorry. I meant 2-in-1 laptop. See here:[1] TheHoax (talk)
The term 2-in-1 laptop is not very suitable, because these devices may be not very reminiscent of laptops, also some of them may not at all resemble a tablet. Thus, neither 2-in-1 laptop, nor 2-in-1 tablet are very suitable. By the way, both terms redirect here. TranslucentCloud (talk) 16:06, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If I understand this correctly, the term 'laplet' is used to refer to a laptop in the shape (form?) of a tablet, i.e., a powerful version of a tablet hybrid. (How annoying marketing can be!) Nevertheless, 'laplet' fails the first criteria of 'Deciding on an article title' on Wikipedia:Article_titles because it never caught on: it only gets 326,000 search results off of Google, whereas something like '2 in 1 laptop' gets 136,000,000 results. Additionally, I don't believe there's an actual term for x86 tablets as they're just powerful versions of their ARM counterparts. 98.23.142.57 (talk) 23:56, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
