2 in 1 laptop recommendation

[Tree_tt]

i am helping my brother pick a new laptop and i need help as laptops isn't really my thing. he wants too use for entertainment when doing FIFO 

budget:800-1000 AUD  (570-700 USD) 

needs to be 2 in 1

good 1080p display 

8GB of ram would be nice

128 gb storage (needs to be SSD or similar)

he is using it for movies, videos, internet browsing.

usb type A would be nice

 

note. he has been looking at chrome books are they are good option? i know they are very week in performance but i figured he doesn't need much anyway.

thanks

Chromebooks are only good when you have access to the internet. For the budget range of 570-700 USD, go for a midrange Dell or HP 2-in-1 that is 13.3". There are plenty of 2-in-1s out there in this price bracket.

They need internet to run. If you are only using for say chrome, they are great. You can also pick one up for only a few hundred USD. But they suck at anything else. But with your budget, don't even consider one. You should go with a Lenovo Yoga 730. Is a super great laptop, in fact it is my main driver. What ever model you get has an m.2 ssd (super fast storage) and 2 thunder bolt 3 ports. They are like USB C on steroids. Is also got pen support, which I take advantage of. The 1080p touch screen is a little saturated, but can easily be tuned down. If you have any questions about it, just ask!

Any preference on weight, battery life and display size? Need good sRGB display?
