LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

• Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
  Canada - $1,500 CAD
• Are you open to refurbs/used?
  No
• How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
  Open to anything
• How important is weight and thinness to you?
  Pretty important, I move around a lot so I'd prefer a lightweight and compact laptop
• Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
  13" - 15" (Flexible as long as it is lightweight)
• Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
  I need to run adobe apps efficiently (photoshop, premier pro, Lightroom, dreamweaver), all the other tasks I need to do will be less intensive.
• If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
  Would be cool if it could run games but not a requirement. Doesn't really matter.
• 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.
  I was considering the ASUS Zenbook 14 w/ 32 GB RAM but it was $1899.99. I feel that 32GB of RAM is overkill for what I am doing anyways but would love a second opinion from someone who is more knowledgeable. I could potentially go for the $1199.99 version w/ 16GB of RAM which might be better.
