Need something for college.

LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

  • Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:

300 USD

  • Are you open to refurbs/used?

Possibly

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

Something with a good battery and drawing capabilities.

  • How important is weight and thinness to you?

Not important

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

As long as it isn’t a screen for ants

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

Just need it for work and simple drawing programs

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

Not for gaming.

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

Touch screen with the ability to draw, something that folds would be very useful.

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

Getting this as a Christmas gift for someone who needs a laptop that draws well and isn’t slow. They need it for college work.
