NHF&R - need a laptop replacement

[katinthehat]

I feel so out of the tech world. We're going to need to replace our home laptop sooner rather than later. I'd like to just make the switch to a tablet but I still need some laptop capabilities, primarily USB ports. Is a Microsoft Surface the only tablet with USB ports? Any other suggestions?

I have a Lenovo Yoga through work. It's a laptop with a touchscreen.

With USB ports and HDMI cable hookup, and a stylus to write on the touchscreen.

My work computer is a dell venue, it has ports. I like the touchscreen and it's convenient in that I work on two different campuses so I can take it back and forth and use it if I go to a training or something, and I have a snap-on keyboard. If I'm only using it for a short period the tablet is fine, but if I didn't have a docking station and external monitor I would throw it at the wall by the end of the day. That or go blind.

I very seriously considered this a couple months ago but got a better deal on a Toshiba. The Lenovo Yoga is pretty sweet. I like my Toshiba too.

Get a Macbook Pro. It has several USB Ports....then get an iPad! (I'm an Apple girl>)

I was going to say get a Surface Pro. I also have a MacBook Air, but I'm eyeing up a SP for a new work machine that's more portable.
