I'm not taking a convertible anywhere there's not going to be wifi--and I'm certainly not going to try to be productive on my phone--so for me, that medium-sized 3G capable tablet fills a void (but apparently, the rest of the market doesn't agree with me ).
There were a decent number of 4G 2-in-1s at BestBuy with subsidized pricing from Verizon, so SOMEONE agrees with you, but consider:
  • As full-fledged PCs, there's a wide selection of cellular radio attachments that can be added on.
  • Using one's phone as a hot-spot has gotten much easier and less expensive, so it's a totally viable option. Personally, I mostly use USB tethering, and charge my phone at the same time.
