Laptop or Tablet with Keyboard?

[Mark300zx]

My pile of poop Lenovo laptop has died again, so my question is there a reliable brand of laptop or would it be better to get a tablet and keyboard as it would be more flexible to use and repair?

Just net surfing and the occasional bit of work.

A few word and excel docs.

Ok, so I've ditched the idea of replacing my laptop with a tablet, so the next question is what's the most reliable laptop?

Probably a question for things you always wanted to the answer to thread.

In my experience that is a Macbook.

Probably right but allergic to apple!

Windows for me!

Thanks for all the replies, I am probably on my laptop for 3-4 hours per day but wouldn't say I have the IT ability to replace parts and get them to work. In terms of budget circa £500 may be the ballpark!

Have you read the first post?

Maybe I am having a bad experience but I paid £700 for my laptop, and at just under two years old the motherboard packed up, Lenovo didn't want to know. I bought an extended warranty and by some jiggery-pokery, they swapped the motherboard. The laptop has gone wrong 5 times in the extended warranty period and their CS is one of if not the worst I have encountered!

Thanks but it is Nonovo!

Thanks for all the help so far, after a mind-numbing phone call I was put through to the escalation team at Lenovo who offered me a choice of two replacement laptops, I am after some advice from those in the know!

The first offering is a Lenovo Yoga 7 14ARB7 14" R7 CPU (2023), 16 GB, 1TB SSD

The second offering is the 16-inch laptop. PN 83BS0008UK, this one is a lower spec but I prefer a larger screen, but noticed this is an obscure model.
