I think if you want a laptop, buy a laptop, this would be too much of a compramise. If you want a tablet but a proper keyboard/windows would be useful sometimes, this is perfect.

It's not really a tablet either, it's quite an odd machine as the tablet part has almost no ports - only a charger port and a headphone port, no USB ports nor a card reader which combined with the size limits its use as a tablet. As a laptop it's not well balanced so it tips back very easily and the hinge doesn't go that far back either.

That said, I actually really like the machine - I got a high spec one cheap off the outlet which I bought out of curiosity, I really like the keyboard, there's no heat on the underside (unlike a lot of ultrabooks these days), there's no fans/vents and the screen is decent, I like 1080p since you can use it without scaling. While it's not great in its tablet form, it's still handy for showing pictures or videos and use it as a photoframe at work using a Dell dock.

see if you can buy the stylus and see what features it has... my one has a wacom type stylus ( it's dell branded so can't tell you the exact tech) proper stylus cost around 20-40 quid depending on the tech inside, mine was around 40 quid but worth it.

No it is inferior compared to that model by a long way. Whilst this isn't too bad a price, it is still quite a bit more than the Asus t300chi that was available from Very a year ago which had the same spec. I find detachable laptops, tablets or whatever they are really frustrating. I will never buy another one no matter how cheap they go. After owning two detachables I have now found that 2 in 1's with 360 degree hinges are much superior. I now have the Asus TP300 flip running an i7 which suits my need perfect and I can have the screen at any angle I want unlike most detachables and the tent position is useful for watching videos.
