Yep exactly. Well not always, in some cases the 500GB/750GB platters are faster, but pish posh..
Definitely go with a laptop that has dual drives, that way you can run a large mechanical drive for mass storage (1TB or so), and a SSD for your OS drive for max performance.

OP if you absolutely must stay under 1k I think these are a good option - http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/ideapad/y-series/y410p/

So Shroomism, you think convertibles are just a fad and they'll fade out pretty quickly? Any ideas what the next big pc thing will be? Just asking since you seem so knowledgeable about the PC world. :strokebeard3:

I don't think he meant to say they were a fad, but more of a flashy new expensive toy that's inferior to what's already out there at the moment. Yeah in the coming years they might be worth buying, but right now with them being so new, the better choice is obviously a laptop.

I mean when laptops first came, out I'm sure they weren't worth the trouble of buying one until they advanced a bit, and now they're taking over. Who knows maybe the same thing will happen with the convertables.

Ah, I see. I guess I've actually been noticing that trend on my own before this thread, anyway. I'm bummed, I really wanted a convertible but I think you're both right that right now they're artificially inflated as far as price goes and not top-of-the line for the most part.

Pretty much this.

Tech is constantly moving in the direction of smaller and more portable components, yet more powerful.

I mean look at 60 years ago, they had a "supercomputers" that took up the size of a huge room, yet a TI-85 calculator blows it away.
Your average smartphone, has around 50,000x more processing power than the first space shuttle we sent to the moon
Cell phones in the 80s were giant fucking bricks etc.

It will get there eventually. We'll see all kinds of crazy tech, but convertibles / hybrids being a relatively new thing, they are going to be artificially inflated until they become more popular/common then you might get much more of your money's worth. But right now you are going to end up paying more money, and getting less powerful components.

best keyboard layout, solid, durable. it works well. the screen kinda sucks but other than that I've had no problems with it. I've got a 2.5GHz i5 in mine with 4gb of ram. What else do you need in a laptop, unless you're photo editing or gaming??

Update: I got an i5 Lenovo convertible for mess than $600. It's great so far except that Windows 8 is so new to me I don't even know what to do on it. :lol:

Cool, sounds like they are not as overpriced as people were saying. What are the specs?
