This may sound crazy to some people but I still prefer a sturdy built in keyboard and hinge

  This may sound crazy, but I love my Surface Pro 4 clone. It has the same specs of a good laptop, the type cover is sturdy (but easily replaceable in the worst case), removable for tablet use and the screen doesn't wobble a bit. I consider it a lot more flexible (and studry, since there is no hinge to break) than a traditional laptop. Yes, the screen could be larger.

    Doesn't sound crazy to me…the Surface Pro (3) is the first non-Apple laptop I've owned that I actually like enough to avoid using since…well, I suppose the Compaq Portable II isn't a laptop, so, ever. And the closest I've come to using it in "tablet mode" is to pop off the keyboard[1] to save space when using the Surface to calibrate my desktop display. The type cover is not only "good enough" for all but full-time use, it's also upgradeable — which I've taken advantage of — and easily replaceable in the case of damage. As for the screen size, I agree in part…but if it were any bigger, it wouldn't fit perfectly in the back of my camera bag, which, for my purposes, is a significant benefit. This coming from someone with a mechanical keyboard, two pointing devices (Magic Trackpad and wired, many-buttoned mouse), and a 55" 4K display on his desk. [1] And using the Microsoft Bluetooth folder…also a surprisingly usable device given the limitations inherent in its design…as a temporary alternative.
