Before the emergence of "2-in-1s" and their denomination as such, technology journalists used the words "convertible" and "hybrid" to denominate pre-2-in-1 portable computers: "Convertible" typically denominated those that featured a mechanism to conceal the physical keyboard by sliding or rotating it behind the chassis, and "hybrid" those that featured a hot-pluggable, complementary, physical keyboard. Both pre-2-in-1 convertibles and hybrids were crossover devices that combined features of

Models of 2-in-1 PC were each similarly denominated either a "2-in-1 convertible" or "2-in-1 detachable", respectively, and despite borrowing the terminology of the pre-2-in-1 PCs, the two species of 2-in-1 PCs are distinct from the two species of pre-2-in-1 PCs because 2-in-1 PCs have additional features of traditional laptops. 2-in-1 PCs consist of portable computer components within light and thin chassis, and exemplify technological convergence. They are convenient for media consumption and non-intensive tasks in tablet mode yet

On most devices, the hinge is situated at the display and keyboard junction. However, the Dell XPS Duo is unique in that the display sits in a frame that allows the screen to be spun. "2-in-1 detachables" are devices with detachable keyboards. In most cases, the keyboard part provides few, if any, additional features (most often a touchpad, as in the HP Spectre x2). However, the keyboards of some detachables provide additional features similar to those

For instance, the Surface Book can leverage the discrete GPU in the keyboard upon the keyboard's connection. When connected to the keyboard, the display of the detachable can either be free-standing on the hinge or require external support, often in the form of a kickstand. Novel ways of providing external support include the bending frame and locking mechanism of the HP Spectre x2. Though the keyboard is usually bundled with the purchase of a 2-in-1 detachable, it is occasionally deemed an optional accessory by manufacturers in order to minimize

This is true for all devices of the Surface and Surface Pro lines. 2-in-1s fall in the category of hybrid or convertible tablets but are distinct in that they run a full-featured desktop operating system and have I/O ports typically found on laptops, such as USB and DisplayPort. The most prominent element is the keyboard that allows the 2-in-1 to provide the ergonomic typing experience of a laptop. While 2-in-1s fall in a category distinct from

They are distinguished from traditional Ultrabooks by the inclusion of a touchscreen display and a concealable or detachable keyboard. The earliest device that can be considered a 2-in-1 detachable is the Compaq Concerto from 1993. It came preinstalled with Windows 3.1 and Windows for PEN, and had a cabled detachable keyboard, and battery powered stylus. Mainstream attention for 2-in-1 PCs was not achieved until nearly two decades later, when many manufactures showed devices, at that time referred to

The 13-inch device included a digital stylus housed within the chasis, somewhat ruggedized construction, and a multi-touch screen with a twist and fold hinge. Microsoft started its own line of 2-in-1s with the introduction of the Surface Pro series, the first of which was released in February 2013. It had a 10.6-inch (27 cm) display, Intel Core i5 CPU, and included the Pro Pen stylus

It had a 12-inch display, Intel Core m3 CPU, a first-party keyboard attachment, and a TabPro Pen. Its successor, the Galaxy Book, was released in February 2017.

Since 2012, a number of other prominent laptop manufacturers, such as Dell, Asus, and Sony have also begun releasing their own 2-in-1s.

The exemption came into existence in 1974 through an amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). While the main purpose of the amendment was to expand labor protections to domestic workers, two exceptions were included: one for those serving as “casual” babysitters and another for those providing “companionship services for individuals who (because of age or infirmity) are unable

Under the DOL’s current interpretation, the companionship exemption applies to most home care workers (also known as personal care assistants), allowing their employers—unless they are in a state with regulations superseding those at the federal level—to pay below minimum wage and avoid overtime compensation. Since the companionship exemption was put in place, a variety of unsuccessful efforts have been made through legislation, court challenges, and by the DOL itself to narrow the exemption so
