Question

HP, Dell, or Lenovo which one should I pick? 2 in 1 laptop.

Mar 9, 2018 12:18PM PST

Let me start off by saying, it has been a long time since I purchased a laptop, so I have been out of the loop, I have done some extensive research and have got caught up to date with the Intel processors. I first started with the Dell Inspiron 2-in-1 13.3" Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 256GB Solid State Drive which I liked but every other laptop I have had, has been a 15" so I figured I would like that better, also I experienced a little bit of lag. I returned that and am now on a Samsung Notebook 7 Spin 740U5ME, 7th gen i7 processor, 12gb ram, and Nvidia GeForce 940MX graphics (which was a bit part of why I got this)

The Samsung is just too big for a 2 in 1 laptop (which is what I am leaning for) also it doesn't have windows hello. The display is not that great and I found the performance to be sluggish.
I should note that I do not want to spend anymore then $1100
This is what I am looking at. I am leaning more towards the HP Spectre x360, it looks amazing and has pretty much everything I want, however after further research I see a lot of complaints about the Fans and it overheating
I am also looking at the Dell Inspiron i7373, Dell XPS 9365 and Lenovo Yoga 720. All of them appear to be good

Below is a link to compare all of them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I do not want to have to go back a fourth time
