  $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?

  Not really at all

  14" or bigger

  Gaming but perfectly fine with 1080p, and photo editing (capture one or lightroom).
• If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
  Fine with 60 but would be happy to get more, especially at 1080.
• Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
  I would like to have thunderbolt 3, and the harder one, the ability to charge off of usb type c
• Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
  I have found a few used laptops around (2019 razor blade 15 w a 8750h and a 2060 for $950) that I am looking to see what else I could get. I play games casually and have had no issues playing at 60fps on my displays my whole life so while id love a 120 or 144hz screen its not needed. Good color accuracy would be nice since I do plan on editing photos on it.

are there any brands I should stay away from? I have no preference when it comes to intel vs amd or nvidia vs amd as long as the performance is there.
