Hey All,
Currently looking for a convertible ultra-book or split tablet for the wife - but I'm not finding a real consensus on what's decent out there.
Wishlist:
At least Core i3 (no Atoms), pref i5
11.6" Touchscreen (may be able to swing 12.5" if it's incredible with thin bezel)
Convertible (either "twist", detach, or fold-over)
Upgradeable RAM/HDD would be a plus
Decent battery life
No leg-cooking heat issues (MS Surface Pro, etc)
Price isn't much of an issue, but sweet spot would be $800-$1200
Local B&M "computer" stores mostly carry ASUS products - currently I have an Asus UX32VD (Core i7, SSD) that I must say I'm not too impressed with - it seems extremely slow even compared my Core i3 Lenovo from work, and the screen has pretty bad flash-lighting. Asus support is also a massive disgrace IMO (took about a dozen phone calls and 8 weeks to do a screen replacement after mine got fried from an Intel driver update).
Thanks
