Total budget and country of purchase: I would love to know what I can get for under $1,000, but I would be willing to spend up to around $1,800.

Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. I will be using it for work since I remote into my actual work machine. I will be commuting with it daily via train and bus and plan on using it when it transit. I want something light weight with a good battery life. I would be open to 2 in 1 form factor but it isn't a driving consideration.

How important is weight and thinness to you? This ranks pretty high for me, it needs to be very easy to take with me and use on the go.

Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. In order of preference: Windows -> Linux -> Mac

Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. I am pretty comfortable with anything 14" or more, I was looking at the razor blade stealth but 12.5 inches seems like it would be too small. I would be open to smaller as long as people think it could handle multiple windows open comfortably.

Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. I will be doing some machine learning, so I'll need a good amount of ram and a pretty speedy processor. For really burly stuff I will be going to the cloud so I don't need a dedicated card. I would maybe like a thunderbolt 3 port so i have the option of getting an external graphics card if I ever want to do any gaming on it.

If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? I would like to be able to do some gaming, but it is not a driver.

Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? I would like high quality keyboard and touchpad since I will be relying on it quite a bit when commuting. A definitely want a touch screen.

Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I have a dell latitude E7470 for work and really like it, but since I remote in for most of my work I would rather have my own machine that i can have more freedom with. I was also looking at Lenovo X Carbon and Razor Blade Stealth, but there are so many options out there that I am having a really hard time narrowing it down.
