2 in 1-laptop question

mgroovey · September 12, 2019

Hi, I'm looking for a new laptop. I kinda need it right now (because my 9 year old Mac is breaking apart as I'm writing), but I'm willing to wait a little if this is a bad time to buy a new laptop.

I've been interested in the Lenovo 530 with a Ryzen cpu and a integrated Vega 10 graphics, but I read a review over here that the Wi-Fi on the unit was real slow, so I got some second thoughts. Also the Ryzen is last gen 2700-series, that's not too tempting, if a new version is right around the corner with an updated cpu.

So the stupid question, is this a good buy at this moment? Or are there any other options?

I have some criterias (and I know I won't be able to check all) if anyone got a couple of cents regarding 2 in1-laptops;

1. I want a 2 in 1 solution with a touchscreen that includes a pen (since it would be very convenient for my job).

2. Prefer under 15" and under 2 kg (4.4 pounds)

3. 8 GB ram or more

4. i5 or Ryzen 5 or better

5. (this is a hard one) If possible; some kind of discreet GPU, I've not found anyone with this (except win surface pro, but that's out of my price range)

6. Good battery capasity

My pricerange would be somewhere around $800-1200 depending on the specs.

Best regards!
