I need some help to make a decision. Buying a 2 in 1 tablet/laptop for someone else. I have no idea whether this is a good deal or not, but doing all this research is giving me a headache. I just want to make a decision and not have any major regrets.

Apparently I can get one for about 4600RMB which is approximately 723USD.

Here are the specs (translated from Chinese) Acer Switch 12 SW5-271-652C M-5Y10a Clocked at 0.8GHz, 2.00GHz Turbo Dual-core 4GB Dual LPDDR3 128GB SSD 12.5 inches 16:9 1920×1080 1 x USB 2.0 1 x Micro USB 3.0 Built-in rechargeable lithium polymer battery 36Wh Dimensions 220.6 (D) x317 (W) x9.5 / 16.5 (H) mm (9.5mm tablet) 1.12 kg (without keyboard) 1.46 kg (with keyboard)

If this is not a good deal, please feel free to recommend something with a comparable price that's better. I'm in China, so perhaps my options are limited? I'm not really sure.

I can provide more details as necessary. Thanks for your help... I'm tired and lost.

Now that's an interesting buy. Apparently this device has a digitizer with a pressure sensitive stylus, a lovely 1080p display, and a USB port on the tablet itself. The $723 price you gave is just a little over the $700 SRP on the Acer website. I think this is a good buy for what you want to do.
