I use a Microsoft Surface Book (1) with performance base. After Microsoft ironed out the firmware bugs it is a fantastic laptop/3-in-1, with a good weight, good keyboard/trackpad, and very good battery life (when docked). I use it 80% of the time as a laptop, and the touch is for content consumption, laziness, or testing touch interaction. I think Microsoft's Surface Laptop is likely a slightly superior device for my uses but the loss in battery life (from 81.0 Wh in the Surface Book w/performance base to only 45.2 Wh in the Surface Laptop) is a shame. It is one of the costs for that 0.68 pound (20%~) weight saving. Biggest downside of the range is the lack of ports/adapter usage, which is legitimately obnoxious day to day. I still type meeting notes (often in OneNote ironically) even with the pen right there, it is simply faster. The fact this still has MagSafe is super nice (miss that). I'd particularly recommend the Original Surface Book right now as they're clearance prices (due to the 2), and still highly premium hardware/experience.
