Question Will FAs treat a 13" convertible as a table that can be used for take-off an landing?

I'm looking to buy a new laptop, and am seriously thinking about the convertibles (such as laptops whose lids you can flip 360 degrees to function as ipads). One thing I really like about this option is that I can assume I could use the laptop in tablet mode during take-off and landing, rather than having to store it then.

Lenovo has recently come out with a Yoga 3 convertible, that has a 13" screen. I'm sure other companies have or will have similar products out. Does anyone have any experience with a convertible that size, and whether FAs view it as a tablet for take-off and landing purposes? Or any guesses on how they'll treat it?

Thanks for any advice!
