![]() I can't tell you what's available, or what to get, but I have a little yoga with the flip screen. The only time I really use to flip feature is on a airplanes. It fits way better on the little tray if I make it into a "tent" than if I use it like a laptop, and I can adjust the angle of the screen for comfortable reading/viewing.
Otherwise, I find the laptop configuration more useful. I pretty much always want a keyboard, and even if I'm just watching netflix in bed or something, the keyboard makes a decent "stand". I was thinking of upgrading my yoga to something more powerful. (I bought the one slowest possible processor as a netbook, and it's okay, but even just booting up can be painfully slow. And I'm toying with transitioning from a Mac to a PC as my primary computer.) So I'm somewhat interested in this thread, too. But I want a small one that would be easy to travel with. |

![]() light and easy travel with lg gram 13 inch.
ultrabooks have become more expensive over the years. Perhaps a cheaper ultrabook that is still portable is the dell inspiron 13 7000 line. The XPS is a premium line. There is good value in the 7000 inspiron line in specs and build quality.

If keyboard is not an issue, yoga is a fantastic computer. If you like dell, go to costco. if you use their cc, you get free extended warranty. Plus their return policies are better than most. I ended up going with an xps. not perfect for my keyboard snobbiness given that page-down/page-up, home and end need a function key to activate, but since i don't use excel/word on it that much, not that big a deal. |

![]() HUP = Home User Program
Employees of companies with large MS contracts are offered massive discounts on MS Office (and occasionally some other stuff) for home use. |
