Title: Anybody own those Convertible laptop/tablet things? Thoughts?
Post by: vivalarevolución on Thu, 02 January 2014, 18:22:05

I am think of getting one of those things like the Lenovo Yoga or Microsoft Surface.   I was wondering if anybody owns a laptop/tablet and what they think of it.

On a completely opposite note, I have considered getting an all-in-one desktop for the power and size, and then get a tablet/60% keyboard for portability and travel.

I had the surface pro, then pro 2... the touch just isn't useful when you got the keyboard..

the drawing part is very nice with the digitizer pen..  but..... i don't draw on the computer enough to reallllly get into it.. I mostly do calligraphy on paper.

in the end.. just get a thin laptop...

You ever use a wacom or something similar for drawing?
