Searching for a dual-purpose solution for your wife
Here’s a revised version of your message:
Hey everyone! I’m trying to find the best 2-in-1 laptop for my wife, and I need a bit of guidance. Below are the details I have:
1. Budget range: $700 to $900 USD
2. Notebook size: around 14 inches
3. Screen resolution: minimum 1920x1080 FHD
4. Portable or desktop? Portable
5. Battery life: at least 7 hours
6. Gaming? If yes, please list the games and their desired settings (Low, Medium, High). I’ll only play World of Warcraft with medium settings—it won’t be her primary use.
7. Other tasks: using it for note-taking via tablet mode during college/online classes
8. Storage: minimum 512 GB SSD
9. Preferred retailers: please share their links if any
10. Desired lifespan: about 2 to 3 years
11. Optical drive: none needed
12. Brand preferences: I like ASUS, but also accept HP or Acer. Lenovo isn’t my favorite because of the build quality; I hope this changes.
13. Country of residence: USA
14. Any extra info? As discussed, it’s for her to use at university—she needs a stylus for taking notes in class, school assignments (online and standard apps), and some gaming (World of Warcraft). That’s all that matters to me.
Thank you all for your help and suggestions!
Well, Lenovo Yoga appears to be a solid option. Right now you can find it on sale at:

Start with the base model, include the digital pen, and you’ll pay $917 with free shipping—though I’m not sure about Alaska.
This device is a 12th generation i5, featuring 8GB RAM and a 512GB SSD. It promises up to 16 hours of battery life, which seems to depend on its use of e-cores (it’s a 10-core 2P core processor with 8E cores). They also offer older models at slightly lower specs.
WoW should run smoothly at low settings in 1080p, but could handle higher settings with decent performance. A medium or high setting might work best.
The i5-1135G7 offers a similar graphics setup but with 100Mhz more memory than the i5-1235u. The new model uses DDR5, and while single-channel DDR5 is essentially dual-channel, some benchmarks suggest it’s still comparable. You could always upgrade to more RAM if needed.
