Based on my personal experience, always go with latest hardware. Because it will increase the lifespan of a laptop. I am personally using Asus ZenBook UX330 and working awesome with all graphics related work. On other hand HP Spectre x360 is also a nice investment.

Hello CNET,
I'm a medical student who is looking to replace his old laptop (Lenovo X1 carbon) with a computer that I can take notes on in class. I've had a lot of trouble finding exactly what I'm looking for, hence my appeal to you
Basic requirements:
1. Windows operating system
2. Price range: $800-1400
3. some kind of tablet mode (prefer folding over detachable)
4. Ability to take notes with an active stylus - this is where I seem to lose most laptops
4. Ability to watch/stream media - Netflix, youtube, etc.
5. It must be able to do some basic 3D modelling (mostly chemical molecular drawings).
6. Above 13" screen
7. Secureable (I work in a hospital)
8. I'd like it to last 3+ years
Weight is not important to me.
Things I have considered:
1. Lenovo yoga 910, but it doesn't have a digitizer
2. HP EliteBook x360 1030 G2
3. HP Spectre x360 13 - I'm leaning this way or the spectre book, but frankly I just don't have much experience with HP.
Any other suggestions? If the spectre is the way to go, any suggestions or tricks for purchasing?
Thank you for your help!
