Looking for a 2 in 1 for productivity and notetaking

[Dawnraider00]

I currently have a separate large laptop for productivity and a surface for taking notes/reading. The laptop is over 4 years old now (bought it early 2016) and the surface is a surface pro 3 which is over 6 years old. Both still work fine actually, but it is inconvenient having a laptop and a tablet, especially when my laptop is as chonky as it is (Asus G752VT). My laptop has decent gaming performance but given that I haven't really gamed on it seriously in a few years that has become less important to me. The ability to play less demanding games would be nice but not required as I could always bust out my rog laptop for that if I needed.

 

I'd like to find a good 2 in 1 to replace my setup right now, but I want to see if there's one that fits what I'm looking for.

 

-Wacom stylus support is absolutely required because high quality note-taking and document annotation is a huge part of what I'm looking for. Preferably I could use my existing surface pen but that isn't a requirement because I don't know how realistic that is.

-A place to attach a pen to the laptop would be really nice. Not an absolute dealbreaker but could be a deciding factor

-A large screen, 17in would be ideal but I would settle for 15in.

-Preferably a ryzen 7 4700U just for the high quality graphics in their APUs, but I would also settle for an i7 without much fuss. A relatively high quality CPU is a must though for processing datasets (I work in data science)

-In a perfect world I would get a 1440p 120Hz panel, but I would not have much issue decreasing that if it is not available.

I would take a look at the HP Spectre x360 and Lenovo Yoga C740. But honestly I feel your best choice at this point is probably the Surface Book 3.

AHHH bro thats hard, 2 in 1s tent to be smaller (around 14-13 inch) and there is no 2 in 1 that I know of that has a high refresh rate screen. 

so the new Zenbook Flip S with the i7 -11whateverGfuck intel marketing team, is a 2 in 1 with a 4K oled tauch screen 13 inch, the prev namtion I7 11th gen and pen soppurt (for the one you wanted) but it has a 60 hertz screen and its only 13 inch. the Samsung Galaxy flex book 15 inch is a 15 inch 2 in 1, it has ath gen i7 and a Qled screen. the Surfce 3 Pro is a 15 inch gaming tablet (like it has a10th gen i7 and 1600 series GPU) with a keyboard you can connect to it.

I ended up going with the hp spectre x360 15-df1033dx. 15 in 4k screen with solid build quality, magnetic spots to put my pen (whether or not they were actually intended for that), i7-10510U, 16 gb of ram, 512 gb nvme SSD, and nvidia mx250 which I managed to pick up for $1000. I would have loved to get the surface book 3 but I could not justify that price tag (I got my old surface as a hand-me-down), and I did not really need the 16 series gpu as I don't plan on gaming much on this laptop (if I need portable gaming my old laptop still works with a 970m).
