Which 2 in 1 Laptop ?

I am looking at buying a laptop for my son who will use at University.

Originally we were looking at a well built but stylish laptop like a Dell XPS or Lenovo X1.

Having given it a bit of thought, we thought it would be useful to have a pen based device like a table which he can take to lectures and taking digital notes.

That would mean two devices so then started looking at 2-in-1 devices that are laptops that can flip into a tablet and be used with a pen.

Does anyone have any recommendations for good ones ?

Also, any experience of using these?

Is the idea better in theory than reality ?

That's a shame. We had a similar fan/heat issue with the work Dell Latitudes. Dell eventually issues a firmware update that seems to have fixed it in the majority of cases

I’ve just ordered an XPS13 2in1 11th gen i7, 512gb/16gb. Looking forward to receiving it this week.

I want to buy a dock for it but I’m not too clued up on them. I have two monitors that both have HDMI and VGA ports, what dock would be best to connect these, a few usb devices and charge the laptop as well? Can’t anyone recommend anything reasonably cheap? (Sub £100)

Has the XPS arrived ? Initial thoughts, particularly the tablet/pen mode ?
