Good Windows alternative to the Microsoft Surface Pro/Book

I have a work Hp Spectre x360 15"Lovely Laptop but they aren't cheap....

The big plus on the hp's is (or certainly used to be, not sure on the current models) that they are easy to repair/upgrade - they come apart easily for ssd upgrades, battery replacement etc. the surface pro is terrible for this.
We have a couple of hp elite x2's, a lenovo miix and a lenovo 360.
the hp seems the better built/designed machines.

One thing I will say that as much as I love the Spectre Laptop as it's beautifully designed and very fast is that they have known issues with USB controller chips blowing if you use USB-C charging . If you decide to buy make sure that you buy the extra 3yr care pack at £99. Mine's been repaired twice already (I've since started using a regular barrel charger!)

Oh, and one thing I hate about it, a couple of silly things with the keyboard layout........it has a slim enter key and the backslash is in the wrong place (edited)

Asus Zen Flip fits your bill. ( Yes I do Have one and its very good. )

My Lenovo Yoga X13 is lightyears ahead of my Surface Pro 4 (which was the worst pc I've ever used).

Thank you, I will give them a look and see!

Loads of alternatives out there; do you want 'more tablet' or 'more laptop'?

I have a Dell Inspiron 2-in-1, which I bought to replace a laptop and a Surface Pro. No problems with it.

The portability of a tablet with the power of a laptop... Am I asking too much? xD
