Looking for recommendations on a device for work and school.

 

Something slim and light weight, preferably no more than 3 pounds.

Must have an ssd and 8gb+ of ram (20 tabs+ open)

2 in 1 - can convert into a tablet

longer battery life the better, ideally 6hrs+

Good keyboard and trackpad

Use cases: Visual Studio, Youtube, movies. Possibly light gaming, but that isn't a priority.

low fan noise

 

price: under $1500

 

I played with my friend's Yoga 2 and like it, but I'm trying to see what my options are.
