LAPTOP + TABLET - Recommendations please
I want to get a tablet, but one that can sport a "full keyboard" when I want it, able to install software on it (not just apps), great resolution and the key ports to connect it to a bigger screen when at the office.
I know you have those Windows Surface ones, the Chromebooks, VAIO, Lenovo Yoga and so forth - who has experience with this, and is it necessary to take it to "laptop level", or will I be fine with just a tablet and keyboard extension?

Neither tablet with keyboard extension nor chromebook won't bring you to "laptop level"

Beginning to realize that... There are the Lenovos, Acers and Vaios that combine the two worlds, but they do get clonky in terms of size... I just dont feel like bringing two around with me.

I've been looking at the Dell XPS 18. It's like a huge tablet that is an all in one.
I think this would be great for traveling....

while it's not suitable to take it to starbucks it would be great to take on vacation. I use to take my 17" laptops on plane trips and although they fit on the fold down trays they keyboard was almost cutting into my stomach. With this it would be great. It's a lot lighter than a 17" laptop.

Why not just a macbook air, or an ultrabook? What are you looking to do with it?

Ultrabook is now high on my list. I dropped all Apple products years ago.
I want ease of use, producticity, full software capabilities and ports to tack on multiscreens.

He clearly stated that he wants the usefulness of laptop where he could do everything, not just play with apps on tablet.

To be honest I do not imagine the reason why did they make it 18 inch. Difference between 18 and 17 in terms of portability is crucial and what can't people do on 17 incher that hey could do on 18 incher when they travel? Extra inch is a bonus for your everyday computer, but for travelers... |

Buy a real laptop or tablet. Don't go for Chrome books or similar. Chrome books don't really do anything if you can't connect to the Intnernet, but a laptop or tablet is useful even without a connection.
My favourite laptop is the Apple Macbook Air. Big screen, super light device, silent, SSD, and 10 whopping hours of battery life. So yummy.

About a month ago I bought the surface pro 2. I like it for its portability. I bought the docking station and run it into a 23 inch touchscreen monitor when working.
Windows app store pretty much sucks but the surface is a little powerhouse. Very impressed with how quick it is. I opted for the 256gb so I could get the 8gbs of ram. Because it has a SSD it has no fans and it is completely silent. That is a big deal for me as I hate fan noise on PC's. With the docking station, monitor and accessories it was around $2100

I swear by my Dell XPS 13... Got a Galaxy 10.1 tablet and bluetooth keyboard, but I haven't found it to be a 100% laptop replacement for the stuff I do regularily. I'm not an average user though.

Even for average user app based tablets won't change laptop experience with programs and all that.

So after much back and forth, I ended up with the cop-out Lenovo Yoga 2 Ultrabook. It is a laptop, and a tablet (to big for most) but most importantly it is a PC. I am a PC guy.
That said, I hope I will learn Windows 8 before I retire - It took me three tries to make this post as the friggin thing kept on tossing me back to the main screen in Win8. I have yet to figure out why, but I think it has something to do with me moving my fingers across the pad part. Ill report back in 8 years if I like the thing or not....

They just released a driver update to fully support display port 1.2, so you can now daisy chain two external monitors off the one video output, and have the Surface itself as a third monitor. This thing is just awesome. You could pretty much replace all your office PCs with them.

Yes. The Surface Pro 2 is essentially a desktop PC in tablet form. When docked with an external monitor/keyboard/mouse, you wouldn't notice the difference. CPU is a core i5, same family as in the MacBook Air.

What ever you get as far as a tablet, I stay far away from iPads. They are over priced and the wifi range absolutely sucks ass. Added to this the wifi doesn't play well with all bands. Example, when I tether it to my nexus phone via wireless, it constantly drops out and pages stop responding even if I'm sitting g with the phone next to me. Meanwhile if I tether my laptop to the same phone, it never drops out and generally has no issues.
You can test this for yourself to see what I'm saying is true. Go to a mall or somewhere that sells both apple iPads and either windows or android tablets. Check the wifi signal on the Apple iPads then check and see how many more wifi locations show up on the windows and androids. I've tested this many times on both ipad minis like I have and full side iPads. The iPads always have shit range and the windows & android always have way more hot spots. Out side of the wifi issues the iPads are pretty nice. I like the screen size and the battery life is great, but if you will be using wifi often, do yourself a favor and stay far away from iPads. I can't comment if the laptops have the same issue.

google nexus 10. I used to work for at&t if you're looking for a tablet, you can't go wrong with that one. They don't carry them in store but it beats all competitors

I did a lot of research. The laptop/tablet devices that has detachable stuff, like keyboard seems breakable to me. And being a worker, not a player*, it seemed like a better idea to get a workhorse rather than a play/surf machine. In any case, that is why I finally chose the Lenovo Yoga Ultrabook over all the others. Oh, and fuck Apple... *ha ha ba ha

Do you actually fold it and use it as a tablet? For me that's unnecessary but I like the lightness of it and the rest of the specs. For my next computer I think I want a Lenovo or an Asus. |

If you plan on doing anything more then browse the internet and answer emails with something like that, you will most likely be disappointed. Just get a small laptop with good processors and RAM.

I am not sure. Simple ultra book (sony vaio) is closer to regular laptop (well it is small/slim laptop) than to tablet + keyword + OS such as surface pro 2.
