US, ~$1200, 15.6", Something for when I'm too lazy to use the desktop (audio production and a bit of gaming).

• Total budget and country of purchase: About $1200, a little closer to $1000 would be nice though.*

Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. Battery life and best specs, not a fan of tablets. *

How important is weight and thinness to you? Weight isn't an issue, but thinness is nice as long as it doesn't scorch my lap. *

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

Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 15.6" *

Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Audio (mostly ableton), and some gaming. I've got a desktop for serious games.*

If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Dwarf Fortress, Subnautica, Rimworld. 60fps is preferable, medium settings is fine. *

Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Build quality is a must, I've had two HP's with crap plastic cases that come apart in two years. *

Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I know hard drives can be replaced, but a larger SSD off the bat is nice.
