hi all,

my dad needs a new laptop for his business, and i am not sure what to recommend, some of the things he needs are:

touchscreen

capable to turn into tablet format like Lenovo Yoga, (doesnt have to bend in same way, just as long as it ends up so you can use the screen like a tablet)

powerful for future proof

SSD

Windows

expandable for displays

DVD reader

not to large, but willing to have leway with this.

 

so what options are there, if you dont have a budget, it is going to be used for (very very) rough and basic sketches of the area just get an idea for reference later, along with main performer at home connecting it to TV.

 

this is current baseline option:

thanks for any ideas

Surface Pro is good unless you need a decent keyboard to type on.

I live by the premise that I will never pay for an Apple product with my own money. That said I just got an Apple Iphone 4s the other day given to me for free after I broke my Nokia Lumia 520 and needless to say I am in the market for a new phone LOL.
