Why this is, is well discussed. But here we go again.
Since the battery is just a 300 cycle rated part and the warranty only calls the battery bad when it drops to 50% capacity you see that to get 8 hours a day for 2 years you need a battery that when new hits 16 hours and then in 2 years you are still getting your 8 hours.
What's odd about such a requirement is it's rarity. You might find new students that want this or think it's a requirement but if it was then wouldn't there be plenty of choices?
OK, battery's done.
On to the digitizer. What do you use now? Why I ask is that I find many ask for this then in a year they are back to mouse or pad.

Hi
This decision is painfully difficult for me right now. I can't decide between tablet hybrids. I know the specs and everything, but the design type is eluding me.
I need to use a tablet mostly as an e-reader and math writer (stylus) for my books and math class, but I need it to function well with a keyboard for typing essays and reports for english, science, ss, theology.
The ultimate goal is to have a mid-cheap atom based tablet plus keyboard, preferred to have trackpad. Most have 2GB lpddr2 and 1.5(1.
Ghz clover trail. I'd like to keep it in the atom tablet range to keep it cheap.
I'm mostly stuck between tablets like the asus vivotab TF810C, and the dell latitude 10 business model plus bluetooth keyboard case and larger battery. Other than that, HP envy x2 is nice, but no digitizer.
Any help with this or added tablet options would be great. With the asus vivotab, I'm reaching $870 with msd card and keyboard dock. This is getting into ultrabook range, but the lenovo yoga doesn't support active digitizers, and I don't know any other convertibles in this range that reach 8+hr for a full day's use at school.
