Laptop/tablet/Operating system recommendations please.

Good morning!

I am in the market for a new personal/business computer that I would use for email, bigger pockets and to hold my tax information.

I like the idea of the 2-in-one laptop/tablet, but since technology has changed so much since I purchased my last computer, I wanted to get some opinions before I went out and made the purchase.

Is there a certain brands/operating systems that work better or are more versatile for real estate programs/websites(BP)? Are there certain features that I should seek out and pay more money for? Brands/features that I should stay away from?

Any advice is appreciated. Have a great weekend!

    I buy all my PCs at the Microsoft Store as I find their prices are competitive and they do not load the computers they sell with bloat ware (the "free" software that no one wants). I am not an Apple guy at all and have very little interest in their products. People who love Apple love Apple so if you go that way I'm sure you'll be happy too. 

    I like the Lenovo Yoga 3 the best. They make a good product. It fits your hybrid tablet / PC requirement and the product works well. I have two friends that swear by it and it will be my next computer. Previously I bought $400 laptops and found them to be a little too flimsy.

    Disclaimer: I have no attachments to Lenovo or Microsoft. I just like their product. I am not an employee of either company. I do own a little Microsoft stock and I truly wish that was material (ha!) but it is not even close.
