replacement for MS surface pro 6

[LuckyFalkor84]

I have a MS surface pro 6 tablet that is having some issues hardware wise (no I am not looking to fix it)

so I am looking to replace it.

I have grown very accustomed to having a laptop (k tablet with fabric keyboard...) with pen support for school.

my top priorities are touch screen and pen support with a bigger screen (as in bigger then 12.3 i have now) and minimum 12Gb (prefer 16) of memory, good thunderbolt/USB c support (duel monitor dock and such).

secondary specs, something in the range of a 20 series Nvidia (minimum) and mid range range CPU, either AMD or Intel processor with minimum 6 (prefer 8) threads capable

primary use cases is note taking, internet, plex/youtube/netflix/etcetera, programming assignments (the IDE I have to use eats memory worse then rampant tab count on a browser...), and some light to medium gaming

 

other important features would be:

charging capable via the USB c port

ability to use integrated graphics and efficiency cores to preserve battery then dedicated graphics for plugged in gaming

battery that can last 8 hours

is a 2 in 1 for easier carrying around and such (low priority)

 

my budget is about $2000 CAD (not USD), maybe a little more for the right laptop.

I realize some of my requirements might not not all fit together AND be within $2000, so i am willing to weigh options and compromise somewhere if needed.

 

thanks for any suggestions for laptops I could look into.

Well I figured I update this in case anyone else sees this. 

I have had this laptop for about a month now.

Does everything I was looking for except maybe closer to 6 straight hours battery life on light work, though that gets me through my day. I got it for under $2000 with student deals, just, so technically over 2000$ normally, but worked out for me.
