My laptop for school went out recently and I'm looking at other options at the moment. Im looking at a touch screen/2-in-1 since it would help out some with my major (meteorology). Since I'm a broke college student Im on a $600 limit. I was kind of glancing at some options at best buy last night but was curious what the tech board would suggest.

I've got a yoga 2. I got it open box at Micro Center for less than $400. My only complaint is lack of upgradable RAM... but with the small form factor I guess that's to be expected. Portability is pretty awesome.

How's that Met major going for you?

I've been considering one of these lately as well..

But I think I want a larger screen still. I want a full keyboard.

11" Yoga

13" dell

been looking at stuff like that.

lenova has a flex 14" i really like that has full keyboard but is probably more than $600 or right around there.. but it's a Flex2.. not sure if that matters to you..

dell has a 15" 2 in 1 i really like as well.

eBay has tremendous deals on brand new stuff like this but refurb. they also have tremendous deals on them if you don't mind buying used.

i'm curious to see how much this winds up going for

refurb with tremendous specs under 600

I'll be interested to see what you wind up getting and how it goes for you.. I am really wanting something like this, but reviews are some have concerned me.

Im really interested in the yoga now that Ive looked into it some. Ill be sure to update the thread whenever i get something and let you know how it goes. Im gonna buy from best buy just because of the geek squad deal. Im bad about dropping things sometimes and i need to have a good warranty.

I'm about to get a venue 11 (7140) with a core m processor for work. I have put hands on it in best buy and it looks legit.

Awesome! You got an i5! Pretty sweet. 8gb ram is nice too. If it ever seems slow just replace hard drive to ssd and you'll be moving quick.
