Best performance, best value 2-in-1. A few CONS.

Seems to be the best bang for your buck currently in terms of 2-in-1 laptop performance for the dollar.
PROS:
* Touchscreen. Windows 10 works well here as a tablet, but it's the same full, real OS. Awesome, I love it.
* 512GB SSD AND 2TB HDD. storage far exceeds all other 2-in-1s
* Nvidia 950M graphics. have tried Fallout 4 (low/medium settings) and Borderlands (high settings), Rocket League. Seem ok though while I have a massive Steam library I'm not the type of gamer that knows 120FPS from 119FPS.
* 7th generation i7 dual core
* pretty thin and light 15"
* has decent amount of ports, USB, USB-C, HDMI, 3.5mm lol, etc, etc
* battery seems decent/better than my past laptops. Right now says 75% 4h 45min remaining.
CONS:
* the touchpad (mouse) is frustrating. not good at interpreting right clicks, multitouch. mouse lags badly if there is 30% cpu usage! tweaking mouse settings helped a little (disable enhanced pointer precision, medium delay -> no delay)
* get occasional "stutters" where it can't keep up. not just the mouse. i.e. playing games
* their "fliplock" and auto rotate that is supposed to disable the keyboard and touchpad when in "tablet mode" doesn't work very well and is frustrating. Kind of got used to it. Turned on "remember the last setting".
I tested this laptop in store before purchasing and was aware of most of my cons, but decided to go ahead with the purchase despite them because the value and performance was far better than all the competition. Compare the prices of other brands that have a 512GB SDD drive. This one beats them AND has a 2TB HDD. (and i7,16GB memory, Nvidia graphics card, etc, etc) Some are non-upgradable too (don't know if this one is or isn't) so when you quickly fill up your tiny 128GB/256GB SDD, then you're stuck and just have to buy a whole new computer. Within the first week I already have about 200GB of stuff on the SSD and 100GB on the HDD. And I'm talking about the "new" models that were just announced by the big guys, for pre-order, which to get anything close to comparable can cost > $3000. Do the math.
My Best Buy number: 0415028064
I would recommend this to a friend!
