Does this look like a good laptop?

It has Windows 8.1, Intel 4th generation i5 processor, 4gb RAM, 500gb hard drive (apparently it's a hybrid hard drive not sure if that makes it better or not), 1920 x 1080 display.

I think the screen size is perfect, and I like the ability of having the 2-in-one style, but do you think that it's very useful/worth the price? With a discount I have i'd be able to get it for around $700… Does that sound like a good price for this laptop? I'm looking for it to be portable and good to take to college for writing notes, papers, streaming movies and music, etc (not a design major where i'd be using Photoshop all the time and i'm not a heavy gamer either). The only thing is that it only has 2 USB ports but I can always get a usb hub or something for that. What do you think?

It's good for everyday tasks. If you used heavy programs like photoshop or illustrator, you'd need more ram. If you played a lot of games, you'd need a better processor and dedicated graphics. For the price and size, you could get something better (performance wise), but this also has the convenience of being able to fold into a tablet (a very thick and ugly tablet, but a tablet all the same). I personally don't think this one "feature" is enough of a reason to sacrifice overall performance especially if you already own a tablet.
