Dear sifus, thanks in advance

1. Budget : 6k

2. Usage : Microsoft office, heavy web browsing, potentially some coding and light video editing

3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) : 2 in 1 is a must, good battery life

Prefer min how many hours of battery life? Any preference on weight and display size? Mind low sRGB display and non-upgradable RAM?

Thanks for the reply.

Minimum 6 to 7 hours battery life for normal browsing would be good.

No preference on weight and display size.

Don't really mind the display quality. RAM as long as can support opening many tabs on Google chrome don't mind not able to upgrade.

Sorry forgot to add that I also do light gaming once in a while.

What games? Mind lowering video settings?

Hearthstone which is not very graphics intensive, lowering settings is totally fine.

Thanks! I will check them out and compare.

Any thoughts on the ASUS ZenBook Flip S UX370 and Dell XPS 15? Higher on the budget side but are they superior in anyway?

After checking all the model, I actually find the Yoga 15 fits pretty well. The plus points that I see is that it has Thunderbolt Type C USB, PCIe SSD, and standalone Nvidia graphics card in case I decide to play some more recent games.

Any comments/thoughts on the laptop is much appreciated. thumbup.gif
