Need Help Deciding for College

Laptop Request US

Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase:

-$500-$1000

Are you open to refurbs/used?

-yes

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

- performance, battery life, build quality; but build quality is still very important to me

How important is weight and thinness to you?

-5/10, light weight is nice, but not essential

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

-14” seems good

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

-N/A

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

-Really only play LoL, but have desktop for that

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

-This is a need for college, would love to take notes with pen, and need decent ram and storage

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

-Currently looking at Acer Chromebook Plus 714 and Lenovo yoga 7i, open to more though
