Hi all, my girlfriend is looking for a good laptop mainly to be used for readin' PDFs (comics) and using this program KG-Chart which she uses for cross-stitching. She wants it to ideally be one of those ones that can switch between bein' a laptop and a tablet in one way or another, cause tablet would be nice for reading but she needs a keyboard and a standup display for the cross-stitching thing, and also reddit and whatnot. I should mention she does have a regular desktop for gaming and heavier tasks, she just wants something to use on the couch. That said she's willing to spend up to $1000 to get somethin' nice that'll ideally last a while.

So in summary, she's looking for something that:

• Can turn into a tablet in some way, for easy reading

• Has a proper keyboard and can act like a regular laptop, for browsing and cross-stitch program-using.

• Will last for a fair amount of time, ideally.

Thanks!
