[QUOTE="cody6766, post: 2850729, member: 26511"] The wife and I have Lenovo Yoga 2 pros...I think. they're 13'ish inch, touch screen laptops that will work as normal laptops, folded over as tablets and in 'tent' mode, best used for movies and the like. Some like this will quickly run $1200, but we gave about $400, or less, I can't remember. I use mine for the internet, email and some occasional photo editing with light room, and it does the trick. It could use some more processor, but not $400+ more. It's portable, a good usable size (I came from a 17" laptop), and ALMSOT has enough USB ports to be great. I use a roller ball mouse, so it eats up one of the USB 3.0 ports. That leaves one and an SD card slot available for use, but it's nothing a USB splitter can't fix. Mine has a 120gb SSD, but you can get a larger HDD if you want. I went the SSD route because we back up photos on an external drive and my desktop's HDD and like the faster boot time. Pop into Best Buy and look at their offerings, then go online and research the laptop, along with it's competitors. Research is easier when you have a baseline, even if you don't buy the one you looked at in store. [/QUOTE]
