looking for a reasonably cheap(around £400) laptop or 2 in 1 to use infrequently while travelling anyone any ideas.

Already have desktop and ipads so dont want to spend a fortune

Quite taken by the ASUs transformer mini range (around £340 )... but screen size only 10.1 inch.Does anyone trade off small screen while travelling or away, and would Betangel run on one,it is windows 10 operating system.But i seen to recall thread on microsoft surface saying it would run on Surface pro only.

Anyone traded off one? And whats the smallest screen that practicable to trade off

I know could probably get a bog standard laptop cheaper ..but wanted something as small and light as possible,but still able to trade off

any advice appreciated

I've got a lenovo yoga and couldn't be happier with it. Paid £350 for it Christmas time.

14" touch screen
128gb ssd
4gb ram
Intel i3
Windows 10

Battery life lasts the day too!

There are varying models of the yoga. With different cpu/ram/hdd or ssd configurations.
But anything with an i3 (or amd equivalent) or above will run BA fine. Ive had a few instances running on it to test out some automation.

Yeah it's fine. It originally came with 150% screen zoom due to it being touch screen. Changed that to normal and it's golden.

Doesn't compare to my desktop with 3 24" monitors though haha
