YES

How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?

The priority is the physical characteristics. Looking mostly for something small and thin.

Less important then the dimensions.

Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.

Ideally screen is ~< 13"

Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.

No. This is primarily a VSCode and PDF machine secondary light communications and media playback.

If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?

NA

Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
