Hello, Eve V

The $799 (about £600 or AU$1,050) crowd-designed Eve V ("Vee," not five) takes on the Microsoft Surface Pro and manages to hold its own. The two-in-one features competitive pricing, fanless aluminium design and a brilliant display.

Kickstand

The kickstand keeps the V standing, but it's not really that good on the lap.

Fingerprint sensor

The fingerprint sensor on the power button makes turning on and signing in to the V a super quick affair.

Fur magnet

Word of warning though, the alcantara fabric is quite the magnet for pet fur.
