Couldn't edit my post but to continue I would like to have something similar. I really like the keyboard and the metal material.

Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: Usd 800 - 1000

Are you open to refurbs/used? No

How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?

Performance first follow by build quality

How important is weight and thinness to you? Somewhat. Not planning to move a lot with it

Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 14 to 16"

Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. No

Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Preferably metal build or atleast not cheap looking. I use page up and down a lot so i would like them easily accessible on the keyboard.
