Friends,

Any insight into the best (and economical) option to buy a 2 in 1 PC ? Din main laptop raat main tablet kind !

My restrictions - Budget is upto 900 plus taxes. Screen size between 10-12.3' not larger. Not required immediately but planning to buy one in a month or 2 time. Would like to use some unused gift cards of best buy.

Till now my search tilts towards MS Surface 3 Pro ( I am aware that Pro 4 is out ). Any experience with surface/surface pro ? Any other tablet cum laptop to be considered ?

Or will it be complete waste to buy a convertible ?

All insights, links to deals and personal experiences welcome.

Lenovo is a very good build.

In general, laptop deals are hard to come by and most brands are offering a million variations on ram, HD, screen, video card and the CPU. Intel doesn't make it easier with a million processor models in circulation

Good luck.

I use CPU benchmark site to compare different CPUs since Intel has come up with so many different CPUs and comparing it with AMD is quite difficult as well. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php

It would be helpful for others to suggest something if they know what you intend to use it for, browsing, gaming, streaming, Microsoft Office, etc.
