Valid Form
  • Total budget and country of purchase: USA. Total budget of $560.

  • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. primary goal is price to performance ratio. I'm willing to pay for quality.

  • How important is weight and thinness to you? not a concern

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

  • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. I'm used to 15.6" but will consider larger

  • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. No CAD. I want to run Payday2 [yes, it came out in 2013] angy birds, and some games which are either casual, or came out several years ago. I don't need to play current FPS on max at 60FPS.

Background - I have over thought this. My needs aren't particularly demanding, and I've been using a 2012 Asus K55A until near failure. Primary uses will be light admin and wasting time on reddit. I want to be able to run a few older video games, particularly Payday2 - but I'm not seeking a gaming rig per se.

Please advise - I realize I can go to amazon, find another Asus in the same price range, get it and probably be satisfied, but I've thought about this for too long.
