In particular, what is the difference between the previous top performing Wi-Fi standard (802.11n wireless) and the new champ (802.11ac)? In this post, I’ll break it down to the basics.  

 Is it a laptop? Is it a tablet? Hold on to your hats: it’s both!  Here’s a quick overview of what a 2 in 1 laptop is, and how it might be the right fit for your digital life.
