Best laptop available?

[shukero]

Hi everyone,

 

Currently I'm using a Levono Yoga (First Gen) 13, however the hinges have buckled, and the cpu fan is going in a MAJOR way.... IE it's turned into a vacuum cleaner with how load it is. I'm trying to find a good 13-14" touchscreen laptop with the same "bend-able" nature as this yoga. I was looking at the surface book, however I hear the wifi in it is TERRIBLE which is the only reason I didn't get one. With all the wifi and software issues I've had with this laptop, I really don't want another lenovo.

 

My main criteria are as follows: (Must haves)

Touchscreen

great wifi

very little to no bloatware

good quality microphone (Don't really care about the webcam - I'm gonna cover it up anyway)

 

Would like to have a laptop with a "Bend-able" nature, however as long as it can bend back to "Flat" I can deal with that.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

 

 

Daily uses include:

Movie / Anime watching

Internet browsing

very light audio / video editing (IE cut / paste in video clips - so I really only need integrated graphics on the new intels / amds)

Torrenting

IRC

Discord

Office work - aka word, excel, powerpoint

 

Thanks,

~Mike

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, has anyone bought the new dell xps 13? I'd like to know if that is any good.

Its a great laptop, but not a 'bendable'

Does it bend back far enough to go flat with the keyboard?

 

Also did anyone ever get a surface book? I'm curious to know what the short comings of the wifi are.
