I agree that it can be awkward sometimes to use the touchscreen if in laptop or desktop mode (although for some things it works great and feels natural) That's where the convertibles come in. Pop the keyboard off (or fold it back on some models) and you have an excellent tablet. I use my HP Split as a laptop if I'm working, and doing a lot of typing and mousing, and as a tablet at night on the couch when I'm relaxing.

I'm exactly the same. I only add the keyboard when I want to use my Surface like a laptop, when it's on my lap it's used as a tablet as a touchscreen device, nd after trying to use spreadsheet on an iPad with my fingers I can tell you it's far easier using the Surface than the iPad! My pc is now both a tablet and a laptop.
