Extreme Veteran Posts: 538 Location: Central Texas	I have a Dell touchscreen laptop that can convert to a "tablet". The screen just folds all the way backward to create the "tablet" effect. I highly recommend you DON'T buy one like this. The screen will randomly get sensitive and do funky things. The internet sucks on it. I can watch netflix in my living room on my TV just fine, but the computer will drop internet connection or just won't open web pages on multiple browser platforms. I'm hoping to get a Macbook soon and get rid of this one.

I was ready to bust it in half! But since I had them fix it, took about 30 minutes watching a guy take over my machine, it works great and I love having the flexibility of a tablet and laptop in one.

Three in a Bikini Posts: 2035	cranky B4 10am - 2016-12-05 6:05 PM My last one was a Sony Vaio, and last year it needed to be replaced after 5 or 6 years. Of course Sony discontinued them, so I had to find something else. I now have a Macbook Pro, and I love it. No dealings with windows, and so much easier now with my Iphone and Ipad. I can get calls and texts on my mac, so even when my phone is not near I can still talk or text. And a good thing is also they are less prone to catching a virus! Agree 100%. I had 2 separate Sony Vaio's that each lasted 5/6 years. When I found out they were discontinued I switched to the Macbook Pro. It has taken some time for me to become accustomed to the Mac world... but the operating system is wonderful.

Elite Veteran Posts: 1176 Location: Nor Cal	I recently switched from a Sony to a Macbook Pro. I LOVE the Macbook! It's so user friendly, runs way faster then my other computer did, and I feel like the battery lasts a long time and charges up really fast. I also have an iPhone so I like it cause I can 'airdrop' photos to my computer and not have to worry about messing with cords and all that.
