I am looking for a laptop, 13-15 inch, for college. This old dell inspiron has done well, but it's nearing the end of its days. I would like a tablet with a keyboard built in, the idea being that I want to be able to type, but then easily transition into drawing diagrams on the screen like I would in a pen and paper style notebook. I dont need a computer capable of playing video games, but watching movies, surfing internet, excel, word, etc etc... needs to be smooth, fast, and reliable. Best battery life possible is preferred of course, and the cheaper the better!!! Someone with more knowledge than me... please point me in the right direction 
thanks everyone!
