Total budget - anything goes. Just suggest me the most fitting laptop please, I’ll budget with myself later on.
Are you open to refurbs/used? - no
How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? - performance above everything else, but other stuff won’t hurt obviously.
How important is weight and thinness to you?
It doesn’t have to be very light and thin, but I don’t want it very heavy either. I need to carry it around in a backpack without dying.
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.
After Effects, Photoshop, and TV Paint are the main ones. If this laptop could handle some Steam games too, I wouldn’t be complaining, but it’s not necessary.
Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
A tablet mode so that I could draw comfortably. A good keyboard would also be nice.
I’d be extremely thankful for the help🙏🏻. Also sorry if there are any mistakes in text, English isn’t my first language.
