Best tablet/laptop hybrid that's not an apple product

Gift for kid going to college. My buddy has a Yoga 900 and likes it. I have been looking at Surface Pros as well. Just wondering what the board's experience is with any of these and which may be the best value. TIA

I like my ASUS Zenbook 360.

Does Apple do cheesy hybrids yet?
Nothing I like more than typing a 12 page paper on a silicon keyboard! Let me tell ya!

If you are typing 12 pages on a silicon surface pro keyboard then you are fricking doing it wrong sir.
btw, saw another guy carrying around his Macpro and Ipad and I just had to laugh.

The Surface Book is a beast.

Surface i5
As long as your kid isn't looking to hardcore game on it, it will be everything he needs and more.
I routinely run P6, msft suite apps, and bluebeam on a 3 screen setup from an old surface 2 i5.
It is the best piece of tech I have ever owned. It's only gotten better since I graduated and moved to a job in the field.
I turned down an elitebook/iPad combo so I could stick with the surface in the field.

What is the deal with tablet/laptops? They're not really that great. It's such a better option to buy a nice laptop and any cheap tablet. The Amazon tablets work fine.

Surfaces are some of the best pieces of tech on the market. I recommend it to anyone looking for anything short of a high powered laptop.

I have a Surface Pro and think it's great for many purposes, but I'm picky about my keyboards and unfortunately there isn't a tablet keyboard out there that I like, not for any tablet.
He can probably hook up a better keyboard to use at home though while using the regular one in class. Microsoft's Arc Mouse is also a must-have.
Re: performance - it isn't a gaming machine but it's plenty powerful enough for anything else he'd need. I've done client demos on my Surface Pro with enterprise-level apps.

My old company gave us surface pros, was hesitant at first, but after using it with OneNote it was literally the only thing I carried instead of notebook+laptop+whatever else.
I just bought an Eve V, shipping in January. LINK /
Think the low model starts at $950.
