Got an email from JB Hi-Fi today doing a one-day-sale on Intel 2-in-1 laptops. I am targeting this post for prospective buyers who are looking for a Surface-like (shall I say Surface Clones? ;-)) device that is more powerful than a MS Surface 3 but doesn't want to pay the price for a full fledge Surface Pro 4 device. These are Intel Skylake 6th Generation Core M processors which are touted to be more capable than the Broadwell (5th Gen) Core Ms. Also they are all fan-less 4.5W machines.
The Spectre X2 reviews are quite good but never used them before (includes keyboard). The Miix 700 seems like a pretty good deal for the money too because of the higher resolution screen and includes keyboard and active pen.

Obviously other laptops in the 2-in-1 category are also discounted including the Yoga 900-series.
Aw, I really want a Surface Pro 4… So they're not on sale at all?
