Any preference on battery life (minimum how many hours)?
*
No.

2~3 hours should be good.

Thanks

Prefer regular laptop/Ultrabook or gaming/performance laptop? Do you need good sRGB IPS display?
*
What is the different between regular laptop and ultrabook ?
How to define it ?

I felt some is doing very close to Ultrabook but it actually it normal range, like HP and Lenovo.

I'm confusing.

But I'm prefer ultrabook, as I plan to carry around.

No need good sRGB IPS, as I'm not working as graphic or related.

Thanks.

Thanks for your previous reply to my question.

Seem like the 2-in-1 is one of the focus product now and it's stable and price is also acceptable in the market.

Would like to know, which brand and model, u are recommend for ?

*HP Pavilion x360 14 cd0036tx with RAM upgrade
- actually it come with 4gb RAM, not enuf for normal usage ?
- It didnt come with SSD, felt this more important.

Lenovo shouldnt in the list, since it have problem with it touch screen.

Dell XPS 13 - Any comment about ? The price much higher .

BTW, with such combination, it's must above 3k. right ?

Thank you.

4GB RAM barely enough even for basic tasks. It does have Optane included which will help a bit, however you can swap to SSD if you want

Problem with touch screen in which Lenovo model? Proof?

XPS 13 is another category, cannot compare directly

What combination?
*

your previous post stated the driver problem for lenovo 2-in-1.

The combination of 2-in-1, SSD and FHD.

Thanks.

Y530 does indeed have touchpad driver issue. And there is no driver can be downloaded from the official website which is ridiculous

CFL-H runs hot. It's Intel's fault IMO for making inefficient chips

Budget? Usage? Any preference on weight and battery life? Any other special requirements?

Should be from this post.
