Hey guys. So I'm back in high school and I do NOT want to use the Samsung shitbooks, chrome books for another school year.

 

so, what I'm looking for. I would like a detachable 2 in 1 laptop my friend has a acer aspire switch 11 which looks nice, is quick and seems pretty powerful for him. The only thing I would like is to have 4 gigabytes of ram and a 1080p screen. The screen is pretty optional but the ram is pretty nessisary.

 

use case will be browsing, typing, school stuff and some programs like Remote Desktop and maybe some computer aided design stuff (CAD)

 

my my budget is around the $200-400 range but more tweeds the cheaper side would be amazing since I need stuff like a car, phone etc.

 

Thanks!

I would have said a Surface Tablet, but since your price range is under $400, I found these:

This only has 2GB, but seems good for the price: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-pavilion-x2-10-1-net-tablet-pc-intel-atom-quad-core-4-core-1-33-ghz-2-gb-windows-8-1-with-bing-ash-silver/9635112.p?id=1219427386511&skuId=9635112

I also found this: http://bit.ly/1OacSLt 

These aren't detachable, but still very good. 

This is detachable, but only 2GB of RAM: http://bit.ly/1JC69ci

Hope this helped! I would look at Toshiba Satellite for sure!
