The HP Pavilion x2 is a computer for folks that don’t want to have to choose between a Windows tablet and a Windows laptop. It’s a 13 inch tablet which comes with a keyboard dock. It has an Intel Haswell processor, runs for up to 8.5 hours on a charge, and features a 128GB SSD and 4GB of RAM.
Normally this model sells for $700 and up, but the Microsoft Store is selling it for less than $600. The only problems I see are the 1366 x 768 pixel display and the relatively hefty weight — the tablet is 2.4 pounds, and when you use it as a laptop it weighs nearly 5 pounds.

Wish they had deals on 128 GB SDXC cards. These could
be used as auxiliary storage using the SD_C card reader on most
laptops. Given that most SSDs sell in $ for half their capacity in
GB, quality SDXCs should go for ~$60. Why that’s not so I don’t
understand.
