Hi all, I've been researching 2-in-1 laptops for hosting Pianoteq during live performances. Any suggestions for budget-friendly options?

I needed a laptop and tried to buy a Dell, with which I had good experience in the past (unlike Acer and Toshiba, which I disliked and HP which was okay but less good than Dell). I placed the order, but Dell declined my (perfectly fine) credit card. After lots of discussion with customer service and wasting a whole morning, I gave up. Screw them, I thought! Let me try again Lenovo, which I had used a little bit in the past and was not dissatisfied (but had not tried long enough to form a definite opinion).

I decided to go for a Yoga that was on sale. I intended to buy it new, but then found a 9i (with an Intel i7 processor) at unclaimed baggage and bought it used (lost) instead. I've been shocked with how good it is! Paid about $500 (it was only $200 off the corresponding new) but it's a rocket! Hands down the best computer purchase I ever made! Even if I paid it $800 (its full price as new without the discount), I'd consider it an excellent value. When I will need another one I will most definitely buy another Lenovo Yoga. I can't recommend The Lenovo Yoga highly enough.
