Convertible Laptops

Hey there everyone!

I just wanted to check if any of you have real life usage with any convertible Tablet/Laptops.

I've been thinking about these:

  • Microsoft Surface
  • Lenovo Yoga
  • Dell XPS 12
  • Macbook Air

Now i know mabcook air isn't a convertible, but it seems like a great product.
I want something around the pricerange there, 1-1.5 grand.

Previously i've been glaring at the ASUS ZenBook series, but i'm not too sure about their battery time.

So this is kinda what i favor the most:

  1. Battery time
  2. Usability
  3. Build quality
  4. Performance

So as you can see, performance doesn't really matter, i just want something that i can use when sitting in my couch, laying in bed or when i'm on a trip. Without any hassle.

Lately i've been glaring a lot at the i3 64gb surface, it seems really nice.

Might also note that i've been looking at the chromebook, but it feels a little hardcore, because then i'd have to run croutum or dual boot it, because there's not a chance in the world ChromeOS has everything i want.

So what will be doing with this machine is just convenient web surfing, watching movies and series maybe.

I would not mind a machine running linux if there's some laptop somewhere in the world where there are drivers for all equipment, and good battery time. But this doesn't seem to exist, except the Chromebook running croutum that is.

Please help me, and it would be great if anyone of you had real life experience with these things, because everything looks good on paper..

TL;DR: I want something which i can unplug when i get home from work, and not plug in until i go to sleep again.

Thanks in advance, and sorry for my horrible writing!
 
MacBook is for rich white people, imho.

Battery life will be good with anything, given that you don't use it while it charges.

I'd go to microsoft products, personally.
I don't use any of this shoot, though, so take my opinions with no weight.

If you plan to get a laptop from apple, do not take their macbook air, they are easily broken, get a normal macbook.

That's not true, modern computers do battery cycling, so they do not wear because you use them when charging.

I think this didn't really help me, thanks anyways! :)

Yes i've been thinking about those, but i do not know how they are to use in "real life". How they stand in battery time etc..
Those are things i'd love to know, thanks for your input though, but you just gave me even more to choose from, haha!

But it has so good battery time and is so slim, haha! Does it really break that easily? :/
