Hello, I'm looking for recommendations on a laptop that:
✓ Has long enough battery life so that I can spend a 4-hour bus ride watching downloaded tv shows on it.
✓ Has good I/O so that I can watch said downloaded tv shows on an actual TV if the opportunity comes.
✓ Can turn into a tablet so that I can use it instead of tons of paper to scribble away hundreds of uni physics problems.
✓ Is loud enough so that I can listen to video-lessons whilst I eat(chewing sounds inside the head can make that annoying)
✓ Runs Quake Live at a stable 125 fps(QL is light enough for playing on a laptop, right?).
✓ Has a non-terrible trackpad, I'd consider the trackpads on macbooks to be excellent.
✓ Is not too big, so it fits comfortably in a schoolbag and I can carry it around.
✓ Is powerful enough to deal with multiple chrome video tabs open without severe slow-downs :0
Thanks in advance! <3

As always first thing you're gonna get asked: Budget?

Also what size are you looking at? You can find plenty of decent laptops that meet your credentials at 15.6', but things can complicate with smaller sizes.

I found a 17'' to be too big, something between 13-15.6'' is fine I guess, 15.6'' being in the upper limit.
About budget... That must be annoying, but I really have no ideia xD. Was thinking about seeing how much one that fit all criteria(if it exists) would cost and then if I found it to be too high a price look for requirements to drop.

hektikHello, I'm looking for recommendations on a laptop that:

Nothing wrong with getting a laptop if it's what you need or is convenient, but it won't have a 120hz monitor, and generally won't have the ability to output 120hz to an external monitor. Just a heads up!

Ty :)
Yeah, I didn't expect to get 120hz, but 60hz is enough for pretty casual play.
About budget, maybe I could stretch it up to $1100, but I'm hoping for way less, heh

What do you mean, carrying it on a bus, and on a schoolbag + a screensize range isn't context enough?

here are some crap recommendations
The Samsung 13.3“ Notebook 7 Spin is a pretty alright at $590 and sports most of the features on your list. However, battery life is apparently not that great, so that might be a huge turnoff for you.
The ASUS Zenbook Flip UX360CA-UBM1T is another pretty cheap laptop at $528 and sports almost all of your desired things. However, it uses Mini-HDMI, so if you want to hook it up to a monitor, you'd need a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable, or just an adaptor. Or use USB-C if you're into that. And it also runs an m3, but apparently that processor can handle games really well and it should be able to run Quake Live well.
The Dell Inspiron 7000 is a bit more at $720, but has a way better processor, full HDMI port, and apparently decent battery.
keep in mind this is just some quick research and you should also do some yourself to find what best fits you :)
