Total budget and country of purchase:

• $900-1050 USD

Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply.

• Best performance for money but a laptop that won't throttle when playing games.

How important is weight and thinness to you?

• I have a 6.4 LB laptop right now so anything near or lower than that would be fine.

Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.

• Windows

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

• 15.6" so it will fit in my backpack.

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

• Gaming. Accounting major so the only program I really use is excel. :/

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

• I play a lot of shooters and love open world games. I also play a lot of CSGO (4:3 Stretch), Rocket league, BF (High if possible), Witcher 3 (Medium to high). I would like to be able to play most games at 1080p at medium to high settings and be able to get a decent and consistent FPS (60-120 depending on the game).
  

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

• IPS screen, i7 7700 (2.8 Hz) for longevity and must have a 1050 ti. It's also really important to me that the laptop has a decent cooling system. I do understand that budget laptops have to skimp on this sometimes.

Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.

• Thank you for any responses. Have a wonderful night c:
