I am i need of a laptop/tablet hybrid for mostly business purposes. The major manufacturers have released so many models in the past few years and it is very hard to even know what is available. I have narrowed it down to:

- Asus Transformer book flip series

- Lenovo ideapad flex series

- Microsoft Surface Pro series

- Lenovo Yoga Series

There are TONS of models available in each series, so many to the point where it I really need some insight from you all. I want a Windows 8.1 machine with 4gb RAM and an SSD. Any thoughts?

The Surface Pro is probably one of the better models in my opinion, and the detachable keyboard is kinda nice to keep it light, but at the same time, if you do need it for business, its not really that amazing. (Either gotta reattach all the time or dangling keyboard.)

I don't like the Lenovo Flex since they don't go complete 360 and at that point it feels kinda defeating.

The Lenovo Yoga/Transformer flip/HP x360 (yeah its called that and MS hasn't called them out on it yet) all work well. If want to go bigger that rules out the HP and the Lenovo as they only have 13.3" models only. The ASUS flip can come in the 15" if you want the larger screen. Otherwise Lenovo for the most part has better pricing, more options, and for the most...
