Going back to school for an MBA and money is very tight

  • Total budget and country of purchase: $1000 CAD

  • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications to your requirements for the money? Pick or include any that apply. Good Battery Life

  • How important is weight to you? Not at all

  • Which OS do you require? Windows, Linux, Mac. Has to be Windows, some exam programs only use Windows

  • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. No smaller than 15"

  • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. If you have no requirements, put N/A. Mostly Excel and Word, maybe SQL

  • If you're gaming (leave blank if you put N/A above...), do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?

  • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable business grade build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Prefer a numberpad, strong build & no touch screen

  • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Not sure if I should spend closer to $1000 for a nicer laptop that will last longer or half that for one that is adequate
