As defined by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), a light-year is the distance that light travels in vacuum in one Julian year (365.25 days). Because it includes the word "year", the term light-year is sometimes misinterpreted as a unit of time. The light-year is most often used when expressing distances to stars and other distances on a galactic scale, especially in nonspecialist and popular science publications. The unit most commonly used in professional astrometry is the parsec

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
