      Additional questions:

      • New / Used?
      • PC or MAC?
      • What level of use? basic 'office' use or more involved.

        Mac would be okay but probably pretty costly for running Windows 10.

          I have an ASUS and I love it. It's a 15.4 inch with touchscreen, but the quality is very nice and I've never had any issues with it. I'm a fan of their stuff.

          Just my 2 cents.

            This doesn't have a DVD drive, but it does have a whole lot of goodies for the price:

            Dell Latitude e7440

              I'm partial to the HP Spectre x360. The Dell XPS 13 really looks sharp, but I haven't worked with it.

                In the ultra light category the MBAs are fairly competitive price wise.

                    we have about 500 of the e7440 and e7450's in service. they all have quality control issues. We are working to get dell to refund them before legal gets involved.

                        It sounds like the requirements fall into the pick any two scenario. (cheap was not mentioned)

                        I've used a few that fit into this category
                        Asus Zenbook, Samsung Series 9, MacBook 11 & 13

                        In terms of what lasted, the MacBook was the most resiliant. The others started to fall apart after the constant back and forth, travelling etc. Look for a used MacBook Air would be my recommendation.
