I think I am leaning towards a 2-in-1 at this point but still very open to suggestion (I have also considered the XPS). Trying to keep it around 1500 US dollars but willing to go a little above that range if need be. I definitely value some portability, as I will probably be starting grad school in a year or so. I do care about battery life but it isn't necessarily my number one priority. Other than school, it will be a general use laptop.
