Why are you looking to get a laptop as a tablet replacement and vice versa? Genuinely curious here.

I've had a tablet in the past (Nook HD+ with Cyanogenmod) and I really dislike not having a physical keyboard because typing with an on-screen one as well as emulating games using a virtual gamepad was not a good experience for me. Also since it's touchscreen, the screen would always have distracting sweat smudges on it that always got in the way when I watched my malaysian smoke signals; it got really annoying having to wipe it all the time since touch is the only form of input it accepts out of the box and I sweat a lot.

Everything I like about tablets is present on modern netbooks (or I guess a lot of them are called ultrabooks, but I'm looking for their budget counterparts which used to be known as netbooks), and the additional stuff a netbook would have that a tablet wouldn't (physical keyboard and a trackpad so that I don't have to touch the screen everywhere) make them better to me than tablets.

I've replaced my laptop with a "desktop+tablet" setup too recently, but the tablet part that I'm trying to figure out is basically a netbook or Chromebook for the reasons mentioned above

Ah, I see. I'm getting one of the surface pros that come with a type cover during next year's refresh. The "keyboard" looks super-dinky, but it's good enough for laptop usage for me, and it comes with a pen so you don't have to smear your fingers everywhere to use it. Good luck finding a nice net/ultra/etc. book.

got a acer aspire one 11 for ~100€ just yesterday, wiped it, installed ubuntu and it's a pretty nice machine for what it is

keyboard is okay, touchpad is surprisingly good, screen is the usual you would expect with a tn screen, battery-wise shitposting on /g/ I'm currently at 85% with 11 hours left

You're probably looking for a refurbed Thinkpad, a Chromebook, or a refurbed iPad Air 2.
