Do I buy a 2 in 1 or laptop and a tablet

I want to get a 2 in 1 device but I was thinking maybe it might be better for longevity to get a tablet and a laptop for the same price since I dont hear great things about 2 in 1. How ever I am interested in the surface book 3 since its just a laptop that has a detachable screen. I would like to hear more opinions on this

Most of the stuff I hear about 2 in 1 is it makes for a somewhat weak laptop.  There’s big laptop and tablet I guess. Two devices though.  I godesktop and smartphone myself. I know a guy who goes desktop, tablet, and dumb phone. He seems to carry his tablet around a lot though. If it’s laptop and tablet it would make sense to have a really chonky laptop. There is some apple stuff that more or less turns a tablet into a 2 in 1 maybe go desktop, one of those, and see how bad you wind up needing the other stuff in which case you can buy it.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

The Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga X380/ 390/ 13 comes to mind. Replacing a battery on that would definitely be easier than on any tablet or Surface Book.
