I need a laptop tablet thing

2-in-1 + i7 + 8GB + PCIE SSD = over 1k. I don't really understand your requirements

> need tablet so I can ink in on a word doc so students don't need to pay for school printer

Yea so, i want to make grammar corrections to word docs using a stylus because I hate using the editor's stuff Word supplies.
I like to move fast through student's papers.
I also want specs on my new machine that will be relevant in 5 years.

>PCIe SSD is theoretically 4x faster than SATA.
Pointless meme with zero real world advantages.

>802.11ac dual channel wifi is good.
See above.

>1080p res is pretty much a min.
Ok.

>8gig memory is also a min requirement.
Not hard to find.

>And, that a thunder port might be useful.
It won't be.

>Oh and 7th generation intel is the latest.
Ok.

>>59964661
That meme helps. So, is SATA going to be fine to have in 5 years? I mean, the price really drops if I get. SATA SSD

>>59964661
is thunder port becoming obsolete? What will replace it?

You don't really know what you want. Other than to mark up homework.

The cheapest way to do it, is to buy a galaxy tab A, 200 dollars. Spend another 25 dollars on a good 32gb MicroSD card, spend another ten dollars on software for your PC that converts word documents to PDFs and back to word documents.

Spend another 5-10 dollars on a PDF markup program.

Lastly, buy a Wacom Bamboo smart for Samsung Note stylus for about 35 bucks.

For under 300 dollars you now have a tablet that can mark up homework, upload the PDF to the students profile, and still have a record of the Word document marked up. That you can easily transfer between laptop and tablet with the MicroSD card.

Dell XPS, Lenovo thinkpad, ideapad yogas. Sounds like you could even use a surface pro. If you'll be using a stylus you might want the digitizer in the surface pro. I believe the Lenovo X1 has one too.

>>59964767
Noted. Thanks. I suppose I would like to be able to use it for other stuff too. Maybe Diablo III while im in a teacher's meeting.

>>59964797
What is a digitalizer?

>>59964806
Digitizer. Sorry

>>59964809
more touchscreen touch points, which gives you more accuracy when using a stylus. really if you'll be doing any sort of drawing you'll want a digitizer.

>>59964808
Fuck off, Maki's a slut.

Need to know if SATA SSD is going to be okay choice for a new laptop. I can afford the dell xps if it has a SATA. Same with a Yoga.

>>59964830
TThnks. Awesome

>>59964809
>>59964830
also, from what you've described this can definitely be accomplished on a tablet. they come with digitizers, expandable storage, MUCH cheaper

>>59964851
And the best tablet? I need /g/s advice

>>59964839
yes SATA 3 will be fine and relevent for the next 10 years. PCIe is only really beneficial for compiling and heavy I/O tasks, and even then they're not that much of an advantage over SATA as the marketing hype says they are.

>>59964870
Okay. That is a big help. I was worried that I might get something too slow in 4 or 5 years, but 5 years is about time to get a new laptop anyways.

>>59964870
Think ill go for a yoga or an xps. I think Yoga might be cheaper and Dell has screwed me on stuff in the past. Salesmen lie about shit. Just my experience.

Then you're looking at a tablet that will run you $1200USD minimum.

Just for the specs you want. If you can cope with an atom processor and 4GB of memory then a surface 3 not the surface pro, will do all of that.

>>59964862
honestly don't know much about tablets. Samsungs are quality and pretty cheap. If you need full size USBs maybe surface pro.

>>59964918
Okay. I will consider 4gig. I need to check if that will be okay.

>>59964927
Okay. I dont know about the USB requirements. Ill have to do more study on it.

Getting a new laptop can be laborious if your OCD like me

>>59964961
i hear ya. don't jump on anything. take your time and research.

>>59964961
Microsoft will most likely announce a new surface gadget on the 2nd of may, so the prices of existing products might drop. I recently got the surface book with the dGPU, it's pretty gud.

>>59964975
Spent last two days reading articles and watching youtube videos. I think I will spend a week on research then commit to something on mere intuition.

Thanks for the help.

>>59965004
Okay. Good to know!

Coming out with three new ones this year. I do not know much about Surface Pros. I need to look that up. In fact, this is the first time i have heard about it. Lol!

I read paper books. The computer is a paper weight. I only recently decided to respond to requests that students hand in word files to save paper.

>>59965016
i will also have to figure out what a cloud is. Sounds like a security risk. Anyways, thanks.
