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

-Needs to be as light as possible, can't be heavy.-

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

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

This laptop is for my mom, and she doesn't like heavy laptops. She is concerned about performance because of bad experience with older PC laptops, but she does not game. It also needs to have an SSD, and should have at least 200GB of storage space. Computer needs to be lightweight so it is ergonomical to use. She doesn't like fancy features such as 2 in 1 or touchscreens, so it can't have those features. Also, NO CHROMEBOOKS. It would be nice if it is available on Amazon Canada, but it doesn't have to be. Ideally it should run on Windows 10 as that is what she is familiar with. Since I'm more familiar with gaming computers, I don't really know what to look for in good general use laptops, and there are just so many! I will really appreciate any help!
