$400 Laptop and Tablet

[flamefire999]

I want a laptop and a tablet or a 2 in 1 laptop.

If I were to get a laptop and tablet then they would need to be under $400 combined. I found this 2 in 1: http://www.amazon.com/Transformer-T100TAM-C1-GM-Detachable-Touchscreen-Laptop/dp/B00NC06K3G/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1421621594&sr=1-1 (32gb with 500gb dock storage). If I were to get the 2 in 1 I would get these 3 things:

MircoSD card: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Memory-Adapter--SDSDQUAN-032G-G4A-Version/dp/B00M55C0NS/ref=lp_3015433011_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1421635982&sr=1-1

USB Hub: http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Portable-MacBook-Windows-HB-MCRM/dp/B00L2442H0/ref=sr_1_24?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1421638121&sr=1-24

Combo of 4 things: http://www.amazon.com/EEEKit-Starter-Transformer-Adapter-Wireless/dp/B00JWJOIJE/ref=pd_bxgy_pc_text_y

I have no clue what laptop/ tablet combo I would get.

So in the end, what would be the best choice?

Why not just get a high end tablet with a keyboard extension like the Samsung Galaxy Pro 12.2 or the Dell Venue 11 Pro? I would think those would be more cost effective alternatives than a low end 2 in 1 laptop would be. Or do you need the desktop functions?

Would I be able to watch movies from a micro SD card on the tablet? Because I will mostly be using this for travel in planes and for car rides so I won't have internet.
I also wanted to have a laptop so that it didn't need a case, but I guess it's ok. And if I were to just get a tablet, then I would want to spend around $300 including a keyboard and micro SD card.

There's ways you can do this on Android, I'm not entirely sure how to go about doing that. If you have a Windows tablet you can with no problem, but that entirely depends on the speed of the SD card that you are using.

I have to be able to watch movies and be able to type and watch YouTube videos/ Twitch streams. That's why I was leaning towards the laptop/ tablet combo or a 2 in 1. What if I got a stream 13 and a Toshiba Excite Go AT7-C8? Then I could have a laptop for watching movies and surfing the web and a tablet for watching YouTube videos and Twitch streams.

The Dell Venue is a much better Windows tablet than the Toshiba Excite is, and I have an HP Stream 7 - it is definitely not a good tablet. Doesn't hold a charge for long periods of time, and only supports a 32GB memory card.

Back to android tablets: are there any good ones for around $100- $150? If I have to, I can use my old laptop for movies.

Yeah the ones I'd suggest would be the previous gen Nexus 7, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4, or the LG G Pad.
