I have a Surface book 2 15" 1060. I had bought it hoping it to be my do-all device, but it ended up just becoming another laptop for me since the tablet has such poor battery life but worse of all, there's no kickstand even though microsoft practically invented the kickstand... I run around the house with the tablet for portable tv purposes, and it's my bed wind-down device (which after the book failed to cut it is being performed by a surface go decently enough)
So i've been looking for a gaming tablet or 2 in 1. here's the rub:
1. NOT looking for a tablet that can connect to a gaming core (external GPU). I can't lug my core around to my work for example. GPU needs to be part of the package if only sometimes (like only when connected to the keyboard)
2. really looking to have a kickstand built in. The book has kickstands you can buy, but they're either terrible or cases that choke the already poor cooling. Either that or one of those foldable laptops that can hide the keyboard behind the screen to use as a kickstand or a reverse base with the keyboard facing down.
3. obviously not looking to spend $6k+. The Asus mothership had me drooling, but my money flushing has it's limits and $6k is about twice as much as i'd like to spend.
4. BUT doesn't have to be terribly powerful. I'm not that hard core of a gamer, i just can't stand Intel's built in graphics making my skyrim look like a cartoon... So an I5 would be fine and 1650/1660 would be just fine (like the book 3)
I realize i'm asking a lot particularly with a decent battery on the tablet portion. but I figured others might be doing the whole part-time GPU thing the book does, plus that offers better cooling by separating the two oven silicons. like a surface with vega on the cpu or even a discrete GPU on the surface (i shudder at the cooling though) would be great.
