Intended usage
I'm a student, and an actor, musician and writer. I'd like to be able to run editing software for self tapes, pro-tools, ableton, and FinalDraft. It also wouldn't hurt to be able to watch videos in high quality but I mainly use my laptop for my homework and editing self tapes. My current laptop can handle these things but she's a little weary for this world so I think a new one would be great.
Desired battery life
12 hours
Please list, in order of most important to least important, the priority between Size, Weight, Performance, Battery life

Info/Requirements
I would prefer a Windows computer because I'm an android user but I will also hear you out if MacBook is the way to go. I see a lot of MacBooks being advertised but I don't really want to join the ecosystem.
I'm not a big computer person so I'm not superrr picky, but I would prefer something durable. If that means that weight needs to be sacrificed, I totally get that. I have a Lenovo right now that's touchscreen is broken, and the edges are kind of cracking, so I'm a bit wary of Lenovo BUT i also acknowledge I'm clumsy so that could be user error. Otherwise, I'm down to hear your suggestions. Thanks again for your time.
