The keyboard on my Thinkpad 13" tablet is pretty good, with a fairly deep key throw; not as good as on the other 6 Thinkpads back home, or the Model M keyboards on the desktops, but I have been using it exclusively since January and I’m pretty pleased. A 10" tablet, like the one in this thread, might be more of an issue since the keys will need to be thinner to fit.
For serious work at home, one can always buy a full-sized bluetooth keyboard and use that instead of the removable one.
The flops-in-your-lap problem is still a problem with 2-in-ones, though the kickstand on pretty much all new machines from all the manufacturers are now designed so that you can usually balance the machine reasonably well in the lap.
@Rita_Lynn, if you know where you are heading for school you can usually check their IT department online and see what software they support. You might also wait and see if the school has an arrangement with some manufacturer (like Lenovo) for discounted student prices; this is almost universal in American state universities.
