I'm preparing for college right now, and I'm trying to work through their very strict laptop requirements. Their minimum reqs are as follows:
-OS: Windows 7 Pro or 8 Pro
-CPU: 4th-gen i5 or i7 M or U (not Y)
-RAM: 8GB
-Storage: 256 SSD or Hybrid
-WLAN: a/g/n dual band
-LAN: Gigabit ethernet port
-Warranty: 3 years onsite with accidental damage coverage
Normally, that's not too hard to get, but here's the problem:
-Display: Convertible, with integrated Wacom or N-trig Active Stylus (not capacitive)
They want a convertible laptop (easy to get) with an active pen (much harder). I was originally planning on getting the Lenovo X230, but suddenly Lenovo seems to have stopped making them, and the old ones on Amazon all seem to have 3rd-gen processors.
I know the Yoga also meets the reqs, but I'm not a big fan of the hinge style. If anyone knows of a laptop that meets the above reqs and has a hinge similar to the X230, please do let me know.
EDIT: The examples given by my college are the Lenovo Yoga, the Surface Pro, and the Fujitsu LIFEBOOK.
