I am looking for a 2 in 1 laptop that will be used for business, invoicing software, payroll software ordering software etc.

Windows based preferred.

Budget of €1,000

When you say 2 in 1, do you mean a laptop with tablet functions built in?

Yea, a hinged laptop that can be a touch screen tablet also.

On some units you can remove the keyboard altogether. So you have laptop performance but the handiness of a tablet

How about the Microsoft Surface Pro? I used one of these recently and was very impressed.

Base model (rather curtailed at 120GB) is still out of budget when you factor in the KB is another €150 and the pen another €115. MS selling them separately is utter crap.

HP x360 i5/8gb/128gb is what I'm currently using and it is probably overkill for me these days as most of my time is just spent on excel and word.

It does the job I want it to, my only gripe is the low Res screen but the full hd added money I didn't have at the time of purchase.

Other option is the Lenovo yoga range, some lovely convertible in that range.

Here's what I am looking at currently

4GB is pretty skint for W10 nowadays. I'd be setting a minimum of 6GB. If you had the i3 model with more RAM that'd be a decent choice. Pentiums should only be seen in €350 email only Dells.

I would 100% go for SSD over HDD, it's a huge factor in terms of reliability.
I've got a Dell Latitude 7390 2-in-1. Great piece of kit, starts at €1400, but there mug be cheaper versions
