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 don't care about 2 in 1. A good battery life's is important to me as well as SSD. at least 16 GB in memory and a strong processor as well, really want strong proformance at a reasonable price.

How important is weight to you? Least important

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

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

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. Maybe some light gaming like league of legends , dota or CIV. Not a priority though.

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? Just would like it to run okay, but again it's not my main priority.

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)? None that I can think off
