I really need the community's help here;

I want and need a good 2 in 1 convertible laptop. My main concern is with RELIABILITY. 

 

I had a Sony Vaio Flip 13 which was perfect when it worked: powerful,  light, no bloatware, absolutely stunning design, a genious hinge mechanism and a wonderful stylus. 

 

But what a piece of junk it was regarding reliability!!! :-(

 

It constantly stopped working and presented numerous hardware issues. MB replaced by Sony under when warranty,  pc fan broke and I had to replace it myself and finally the screen and CPU malfunctioned, so I sold it for parts. 

 

But man, I still miss it alot. It worked for 18 months and my whole Nursing & Engineering degrees where on its Onenote.

 

Now, the all new HP Spectre x360 t13 or t15 are my lead options. But I keep reading very bad reviews in amazon about them in every issue of hardware failure and such..

 

Vaio is also a good candidate (great 48W CPU). But I read it has a baterry issue and NO support from the company (and no Thunderbolt 3 i/o which is essential for future graphics proofing).

 

Can people here with actual real life experience with these models confirm or disaprove the reliability issues?

 

I need help here...

 

Thanx
