Anyone got a surface and has a proper keyboard to make it into an actual laptop. I find the flip on the back impossible sometimes. And to save buying a new laptop I'm thinking of getting oke but reviews are mixed.

Not sure what you mean about the flip on the back? I had a Surface Pro 4 with the type cover/keyboard.
That's the only option available to you I think (happy to be corrected, sold mine on here a couple of years back), and I found it a decent keyboard.

The stand to use it as a 'laptop'

I was taking about this, I should have linked it

Hadn't seen that. Reviews certainly mixed.
They have a £70 used/like new from Amazon though.

Get that and if it's shit or heavy/clunky just use Amazon returns as that'll be pretty hassle free?

fwiw, I came to the same conclusion as you.
I thought the Surface was really superb kit. Slick and well made, but I replaced it with a Dell laptop in the end, mainly because I wasn't ever using it as a tablet so decided a 'proper' keyboard would be useful.
