Mine has Windows 10 but as we know, Windows 11 can be installed on anything that has Windows 10...

Surface Pro 2017
Surface Pro 8
Lenovo Yoga
Lenovo ThinkPad that can flip around

All of these work for me, though my go-to is the Surface Pro 2017 because it's not a "daily driver" laptop, so I've kinda dedicated it to vehicle maintenance and I don't feel quite as bad if I smudge oil and grime all over it.

The Surface tablets have an (optional) very neat detachable keyboard. Microsoft calls it a "Type Cover". For just reading stuff, like in bed or on the crapper, I much prefer not to have the keyboard, but yes, the keyboard and the mousepad sure can be handy.

I like a conventional laptop for everything - Panasonic CF 52's - I have about a dozen with different bits on them.

As for reading in bed I like my Samsung Fold - Which is a mini tablet - Works for me

I gave up on Android for anything other than just a phone long ago. I got tired of websites serving up crippled "mobile" pages or even worse, constantly nagging me to install an app.

Works for me

Just for context, the "Samsung Fold" is a phone, but folds !

Yes, I've seen them (and similar devices from other manufacturers). They're not my cup of tea for a number of reasons, but I understand why some people might like them.

What, you don't like the delicate mechanism that WILL break the display long before the phone is obsolete, that likes to delaminate its factory "screen protector", and which you can permanently damage (scratch) with just your fingernail? :p

Oh I do... but it's literally only to transfer my scan/data to my google drive so I can access it from all other "modern" devices.
I don't actually do any browsing or posting or anything really with that unit... just scan and "dump". :D

Provided you do this from behind a decent router/firewall, that's probably safe enough.

I must say that you clearly have not used one !!

I have had my Fold 5 for some 2 years and it is far from delicate !! Add to that I am no delicate user !!

I have it in a quality case, not a super tough bulky one and is resilient !!

and which you can permanently damage (scratch) with just your fingernail? :p
Show me a picture of your fingernails !! I will show you mine 💘
