I used a convertible laptop w/ touch screen for a few years. I really didn't like it at all. The OS UI is the problem. To be touch-suitable, the controls and actions need to be different from what they need to be KB/mouse-suitable. I don't think iOS or macOS have solved that. I don't know if Windows has solved that.
Not simple touch screen.

Wacom digitizer for drawing.

For that specific purpose you want it to be convertible so you can orient any way you want.

Love my 21" Cintiq but kinda hard to put in my lap or take outside and sit under a tree with it.

The Cintiq Companion is a nice self contained unit but at only 13" it's spendy for what you get even with the price drop to $1,700.00 plus it's Win8.

Curious to see what the 16" Mobile Studio Pro is like but $3k for the i7 chipped unit is ridiculous.
