LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE
- Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
<$1300 preferably. I am willing to go a little higher if necessary
- Are you open to refurbs/used?
Preferably New. Minimally used is fine.
- How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
Battery life is a high priority. Solid performance and being able to run the appropriate programs.
- How important is weight and thinness to you?
This is pretty important to me. I don't want to carry a bulky heavy laptop.
- 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.
Already have a desktop. Maybe some older games like skyrim. Not a big priority.
- If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
Not a big priority to me, but being able to run well is always a plus.
- Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
N/A
- Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. -
So I already have a use an iPad for notetaking and as a notebook for scratch work. however, I figured out that I much prefer typed notes especially for classes like biology. But I do like written notes on my iPad for things like math and chemistry, where I can draw and write out more complex equations. This being said, a touch screen computer or 2-1 is not a big priority.
Also, I am still debating if I want to take my desktop to college with me. I would definitely use that for studying in my dorm but for my first year of college I do want to study outside of my dorm more often than not.
