2 in 1 laptops/tablets?

Anyone have any recommendations for a good windows 8 2in1? I already have a desktop so I'm not looking for anything particularly powerful. I've got an Asus TF300T with an awesome attachable keyboard, but I'm tired of the android limitation.

After doing some reading I'd probably end up getting the pro because of the win8 rt limitations. I don't just want a win8 tablet, yknow.

I guess I'll just check out best buy later as per @Burning reccommendation. From what I've also seen, none of the surface attachable keyboards are anywhere near as nice as my tablet's keyboard.

Just get a Microsoft surface ASUS also has some 2-in-1's and it looks pretty sleek as well. Go check them out, they're called the ASUS Transformer Book series

I don't pay much attention to 2-in-1 laptop-tablet hybrids, but just about every major laptop Windows laptop manufacturer has several products that fall under that general description.

x86 versions in the Microsoft Surface lineup are probably the best known, and I have seen some of Acers' laptop-tablet hybrids. They came in all sorts of designs from keyboards that fold out from underneath, detachable keyboards, flip and twist keyboards... You should go down to your local office supply store and take a look.
