**LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE** * **Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:** preferably under 1000EUR, but if that isnt at all possible, i can go up to 1300EUR. * **Are you open to refurbs/used?** Hadn't considered them yet, but might be an option if they're still recent. * **How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?** Something 15" or under, that i can comfortably carry in my backpack. I don't care about 2-in-1 capabilities or whether it has a touchscreen or not. I'd really appreciate a 16:10 or even 3:2 aspect ratio. * **How important is weight and thinness to you?** I want to be able to carry it my backpack (so under 2kg i'd say), but i don't want to sacrifice performance for the sake of thinness or weight. * **Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.** 1920x1200 and above, with a 3:2 or 16:10 aspect ratio. * **Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.** I'll be working with CAD software (mostly cadwork), and i'll also be doing some light gaming. * **If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?** think rocket league, minecraft, old classics like portal or half life, so nothing very demanding. I dont plan on playing any ressource-intensive AAA games as of now, but if I were to, I wouldn't mind playing on low settings. * **Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?** a numpad would be nice, but not an absolute must. I dont care about a touchscreen, in fact i'd rather not have one if it means screen repairs won't be as expensive. * **Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.** upgradability and repairability are pretty important to me. I'm not nervous about opening up the laptop and I want to be able to upgrade the memory and storage whenever they start being insufficient for my use case, and the battery too when it starts to get old.
