What's a reversible computer? The only PCs EE sell are lappys.

A Reverable Computer is a Laptop, normally Windows, but where the Screen is either on a Swing Spindle or the Screen can be detacthed and mounted the other way around so it can be viewed backwards (Presentation Mode) or laid flat ie closed and used as a Tablet.

I've got one myself a Toshiba, it's Reverable Screen that detaches from the lower part of the Lappy, but mine can also be used as Screen Only Tablet which is really handy if not but a bit big, the main reason I got mine was to use as a Windows 10 Tablet but then when plugged into the Keyboard part the lower part has every consivable Connector and Ports you would ever need like on a PC,.

Nice bit of kit if I'm honest, although I must admit I do tend to use an 8 inch Android Tablet on most of my Travels.

OIC! I thought they were called Convertible PCs. The industry standard meaning of Reversible Computers is computers that can run backwards in time.

@XRaySpeX - computers that can run backwards in time.

Hmm, wish I could bo that sometimes, no idea on that one, maybe have a Chat with Mr H G Wells if he's still around or in our current Time Zone 😉
