I would prefer a 2-in-1, but it isn't mandatory. I thought I had decided on the Acer Nitro Spin 5, but then I started questioning the reliability. I also thought that maybe I should get something with 16GB of ram. I don't know if it is needed, but I figure it would help to future-proof the laptop somewhat. Maybe I shouldn't worry about it?
The models I have found are either a Lenovo Yoga 720 with a 7th Gen i7 and gtx1050, the Yoga 730 with the 8th Gen i7 and gtx 1050, and the HP Spectre x360 15. I like the Specter with the Vega GPU, but it's out of my price range. Plus I don't know if I even need that much GPU since I won't be doing any gaming. I'm completely overwhelmed with this. My priorities are reliability and performance. As I said, I would strongly prefer a 2-in-1, but I wouldn't necessarily pass on a great regular laptop. I'm not entirely sure how much I would use the stylus anyway. Thanks in advance for any help!
