So I am looking to get some sort of 2 in 1 but i feel like there isn't really anything that exactly meets my specs. I'll be using it as something of a replacement for my dated laptop which I use for work school and entertainment. This means it really just needs to run word excel word matlab and surf the net. That being said I don't think I need a super powerful one like the MS surface or anything. I do plan on using it as a tablet frequently too so the lighter the better. In my research I have discovered 4 contenders that more or less meet my requirments but there is a drawback to each one. the ideal machine would be 1080p have at least one full sized USB port, some sort of detachable keyboard and either a bay trail processor or the new pentiums. Here is a list of what I have narrowed it down to and why.
lenovo yoga 11, heavier than the others and keyboard doesn't detach
lenovo lynx, I really liked this one because the keyboard dock has a battery but the processor is dated (the old atom)
sony vaio tap 11, this was my favorite of these but it was very expensive considering whats under the hood ($700). I also actually liked that the keyboard is completely free floating, gives more freedom. This was also the only one of these with a 1080p screen which is a big plus imo.
asus t100, the t100 is good but doesn't really excel at anything plus its a bit chunkier than the vaio and i think the lynx too
What do you guys think would be the best option for me? Are there any others out there that I missed that might be a good choice? Let me know in the comments/poll
