So I have pic related, it's an ASUS Vivbobook X202E-DH51T. I really want to use it as a tablet since its touchscreen and I was wondering if it was possible to make it into a 2 in 1 PC. I opened it a few times and it seems the hinges can be taken off, so I could replace them for either a similar 2 in 1 model series or buy custom ones. Is this feasible?

The only big issue I see with it, make sure you have more than enough ribbon cable and other cable length.
Moving it that much further back would require a decently long monitor cable.
Every laptop I have opened up, I know some of the cables would have been too short.
If you can lengthen them, youll be just fine if you have the skills to fabricate the new hinges in there.

I don't think I can "extend" it but maybe it's long enough, I'll post pics when I get home and see if it's long enough.
Can I ask what is the point of doing this if the screen still needs to be attached to the keyboard with ribbon cables?

Sell and buy a tablet.
I'm all for DIY but in this case it doesn't make any sense.
