Having been an owner of flagship devices for the last 8+ years, I made a bad choice getting a One M8 for Windows (not getting upgraded anymore). This was my "interim" purchase to get me through my contract so I can get another phone next year. I have to admit that I have been pleasantly surprised with the Galaxy Express Prime since I got it a few days ago. It's done everything I've asked of it with very little or no lag whatsoever. A rare thing for a sub $200 phone.
A few of the highlights. The screen is beautiful. Clearly Samsung put the cost of this phone into the right places. RAM is adequate for normal to moderate users as I imagine that heavy users will feel the lower end specs at some point. 16GB of onboard storage is good as usually all you get is 8GB. I also put in my 128GB microSD with no issues and moved the apps I could to it. Freeing up built in space oddly improved the phone performance overall. Battery life with Android 6 (Marshmallow) is amazing. I got two full days of moderate weekend use on a brand new "non-conditioned" battery right out of the package.
Overall I would say if you're looking to replace a high end broken phone or just want something without a contract that isn't a plastic piece of junk, this is a really good phone to look at. I moved my post-paid AT&T SIM into this and it just fired up with no setup required. I'm very happy with the purchase and have no doubt that I'll get more than my money's worth out of this phone.
HP Spectre x360 Convertible 2-in-1 Laptop: Stay connected at home or on the go with this versatile laptop, which features a vivid IPS Quad HD touch screen and a convertible design for use as a tablet, stand or standard laptop. Bluetooth enables easy wireless pairing, and An HDMI output lets you connect to high-def external displays.
This is the first HP I've purchased in over 12 years and I'm overly impressed with the build quality. Everything is metal except for the bottom cover, which is contoured plastic. I did quite a bit of research and reviewed more than 6 manufacturers before finally narrowing it down to this particular machine.
The core i7 is fast and the boot time is less than 10 seconds with the SSD installed. RAM is more than adequate for a non-gamer, however I have a feeling that this machine wouldn't have any problems running a mid-spec'd game. Wifi is fantastic and the 5G (ac) from my router is full strength no matter where I am in my home.
This model has the QHD 2560x1440 resolution IPS display and well worth the additional money over the 256GB SSD model below this one with a FHD 1920x1080 resolution display (both sold here).
I still can't believe how good this looks when watching a blu-ray compared to my HD television. If you're hesitant about HP, take another look and go see it in person. That's what sold me and confirmed I made the right choice.

No, the monitor is not detachable. It does flip completely around to sit perfectly flat on the keyboard base. Key are exposed on the bottom, but deactivated to prevent accidental pressing.

how warm does the bottom of the keyboard housing become when operating
The bottom of the keyboard (under your fingers) does not get warm at all. The bottom of the laptop does get a little warm but not to the point where it feels uncomfortable. The fan hardly turns on to be honest.
