convertible 2-in-1 laptop with stylus

Mar 7, 2016 3:03AM PST

Hi,

1) I am looking for a convertible 2-in-1 laptop, probably as my secondary laptop, with stylus.
For drawing on photoshop, reading book, programming
Should i get i5 or i7 , 4gb or 8gb ram

My primary laptop will be macbook pro 15, due to gpu.

2) Is there's a convertible 2-in-1 laptop with stylus and gpu nvidia graphics?
This case I only have to purchase 1 laptop.

3) Yoga 260 or Inspiron 13 2-in-1 7000, which is better performance?

Yoga 260 disadvantage I heard :
Thick bezel
color issue

inspiron 13 2-in-1 7000 disadvantage I heard :
heavy
poor quality

Surface pro 4 is costly as secondary laptop/tablet with i5/i7 is additional cost.
or is there other you would recommend?

Not sure if you can find

any 2 in 1 with a Nvidia DGP except the Surface Book and that starts at 1899 for the model with a DGP. The Dell XPS 15" has the Nvidia GTX 960 but it's not a 2 in 1.

As to the color issue, my son got a Pantone Huey and all good now.
