I recently got a Lenovo 720 which is a 13" 2 in one with a keyboard that folds back and makes it into a tablet. I wanted to use it for drawing. I've been drawing on a 10" tablet and I've been happy with it but the reviews of some of the Windows drawing programs sounded tempting. And I wanted a small laptop anyway so I got it.

As a laptop the thing is really nice but as a drawing device it needs to be on a table. Sitting in my easy chair, which is how I use my tablet for drawing, the thing is ungainly and inconvenient and heavy and thick I had been saving for a Microsoft Surface when this went on sale so I got it. It was a mistake.

Laptops are laptops. Two in ones with folding keyboards are also laptops. You can use them as tablets and I guess sometimes that's convenient but mostly it's not.
