I am looking for a laptop or a laptop tablet. Something with a screen and a keyboard, basically. But I want to find the best Price/Performance ratio, while maintaining the ergonomy, mobility and battery life.
I started out looking at iPad Air tablet, but came to a conclusion that I won't be able to do anything more productive than writing an e-mail. So I started looking at something in between the portability or tablet and operational capacity of a laptop. So these hybrid tablets stood out. I could use one as a laptop and as a portable reading tool.
But it only gets harder... I've found these two options - Lenovo Thinkpad 10 and Acer Aspire Switch 10.
But this is where it all breaks down. Neither of them have 3.0 USB port, Thinkpad 10 doesn't have any USB ports at all, even with the keyboard, and I am not sure that these devices can power an external HDD, which is very important to me.
Also I wouldn't mind better performance, so that I could play some games on the go. I already play on my desktop PC, so it's not the top priority. And these CPU's, while weak, the tablets benefit greatly from power usage decrease, thus better battery life. Which is a very important aspect to me.
I would really appreciate some help, maybe there's a Laptop that can do those things better. But I've searched so much that I don't know if I can come to a happy ending without some advice.

I wish these tablets could do more!
