As Lenovo Yoga 2 11 , the Pavilion x360 screen flips around its center axis hinge , so you can use the system with four modes . Mode is the usual clamshell Notebook - Laptop orientation . Stand mode puts the keyboard facedown on the table , so you can use the screen to watch the video with the rest of the laptop body out of the way . Tent mode flips the laptop over so the middle hinge is facing the sky ; This makes it more stable touch screen for extended touch sessions , such as when playing a game (more on that below ) . Last , but not least , Tablet mode lets you use the Pavilion x360 as a ( relatively heavy) slate tablet . Detachable hybrid systems such as the Asus Transformer Book T100TA is lighter tablet mode , although there is always the risk that you'll accidentally leave T100TA Asus keyboard back .
