Hi,

 

I really need some help...

 

I am looking for

1) Laptop that converts to a tablet

2) 15 inch screen at least

3) Full HD screen (ifpossible)

4) Slim and light, and sleek/stylish

 

I've narrowed it down to the Vaio flip (very sleek and looks good) vs the Asus Transformer (better specs & price but not as sleek).

 

Any advice/warnings/words of wisom would really help! If I had my way, I prefer the Sony i7...but the price difference is a bit of madness!

 

I currently have the Samsung QX510, and it's 4yrs old and slow now.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'd certainly go with the ASUS i7, if it has better specs (which it seems it does, especially the dedicated graphics).  It may weigh a bit more and may not look as cool, but just remember how those non-wide screen 10 lb laptops were 14 years ago in comparison to anything made today.  Also seems like much more value per dollar compared to the Sony i7. If you're out to buy something cool and don't care about specs or how much it costs, go with Apple.
