Hello,

I am searching wisdom and experience from people who bought that kind of product already (2 in 1 tablet with keyboard).
Browsing the internet, the Microsoft Surface GO grabbed my attention and seemed to be the best quality/price deal out there with the following specs:

CPU: Intel Pentium Gold 4415Y | Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 615 | RAM: 4GB - 8GB | Screen: 10-inch 1,800 x 1,200 touchscreen | Storage: 64GB eMMC - 128GB SSD | OS: Windows 10 Home in S mode

The main use of this tablet would be:
- Browsing internet with google chrome and applications (youtube, netflix, etc.)
- Casting the tablet on my tv via a chromecast tab in google chrome
- Playing small requirements game on steam with a controller (remakes of final fantasy [maybe too many performances required?], death squared, terraria, children of morta, etc)

I would like to keep the total price for the tablet + keyboard under 1000$.
Anybody has other idea (better preferably)?

I didn't see any tablet that offered HDMI port, does it exist?

Thank you for your input.
It's been a while since i last came to this forum. Did not change much, but if there is now a better section for that kind of question, please let me know!

I have the surface go and I love it

probably one of the smallest pc you can get that runs windows 10

has touch screen - not many pc's in that price range has that

has no fan - so its actually a tablet.. perfect for laying in bed or taking on train and such

it can run game old games.. I run D2 on mine

has usb-c 3.1, so usb c to hdmi adapter works

just make sure u get version with 8gb ram

Is the SSD 128 GB worth it over the 64 eMMc?

MS Surface is underpowered overpriced and cannot be repaired or upgraded (Microsoft glues them shut)

Not alot of good options out there for 2in1's. The only ones I would recommend are certain versions of the Lenovo Yoga or Flex.

Costco is a good place to buy them with their added warranty.

Right now they have a nice one for $679.99
Lenovo Flex 14 Series 2-in-1 Touchscreen - 10th Gen Intel Core i5-10210U - GeForce MX230 - 1080p - 16GB Ram - 512GB SSD

The 15" one is sold out (they had it on sale for $749.00)
Lenovo Flex 15 Series 2-in-1 Touchscreen Laptop - 10th Gen Intel Core i7-10510U- GeForce MX230 1080p - 16GB Ram - 512GB SSD

You won't find a better 2in1 at a better price than those.
