Post Body

  • Total budget and country of purchase: Around $500, $800 max. USA

  • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications to your requirements for the money? Pick or include any that apply. I'm looking for a 2 in 1 form factor with a touch screen and decent battery life.

  • How important is weight to you? Weight is slightly important to me.

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

  • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 13inch to 15 preferred. Will consider other sizes

  • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. If you have no requirements, put N/A. Light gaming, and creating video games with Unity and Game Maker Studio

  • If you're gaming (leave blank if you put N/A above...), do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Games before 2008, around medium settings, and at least 30fps.

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

Either comes with a pen, or has a pen that you can purchase that makes the price cheaper or same as one that comes with one.

  • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I currently have the Lenovo U530 Touch Screen Laptop. I had gotten it for gaming and my game design courses. Turns out I don't game on it nearly as much as I thought I would. One of my class mates recently got the ThinkPad Yoga 260. I really liked how well the pen that comes with the laptop worked and how beneficial it would be for note taking in class. He found his for $800 and I don't think I could flip my current laptop for that price.
