Self employed, sales, travel to client sites daily and bring my laptop for emails, excel, taxes, and lots of youtube. Currently have Lenovo Chromebook. Fits my needs, but I've had for 5 years and might be time for upgrade.

  • Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: flexible. 300-800 CAD.
  • Are you open to refurbs/used? not usually, but could be talked into it I suppose.
  • How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? Nothing incredibly fancy needed. Longevity is important. Battery life is important.
  • How important is weight and thinness to you? Higher priority.
  • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Currently have 14in, wouldn't mind 15
  • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. None at all
  • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? None of these are mandatory.
  • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Looking for a good, reliable, fast workhorse to fit my basic needs. Lightweight might be the only feature I strongly desire.
