• Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: ballpark $750 (less if can/$50 over is welcome), any store inside a general US mall like Best Buy or Amazon for online
• Are you open to refurbs/used? no, brand new

• How important is weight and thinness to you? important, as portable as can be
• Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 13inch range
• Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. no, multitasking school work such as documents and tests, watching movies, multiple web tabs open, zoom calls and meetings
• Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? modern tech, type C ports/ type C charging, light weight, small with no numpad, everything up-to-date and as current as possible
• Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Came from Asus Zenbook 13 Ryzen 7 but the hardware failed also came from Lenovo and hardware failed as well so looking for something that is really reliable and is known to have great build quality and possible great customer service if can. Enjoyed the Zenbook before it gave up so something similar to that is definitely desired if possible i just dont trust Lenovo or Asus rn since the failure of the 2 units i received, but if it has good track record of outstanding build then i'd consider it.

Thank you in advance
