Looking for a new work laptop, my must haves are:
Light weight (I travel a lot for work and walk to the office need it to be light)
SSD would be nice 256GB at least (500 would be nice but I know how pricey that can get)
Personal use will be a lot of movie watching so good screen would be nice
Heavy use will be Office products so that's key, at least 8 gigs of memory
Won't be dual monitoring so the bigger the screen display while keeping it light would be perfect
Would like to not break the bank, not sure how realistic $1,000-$1500 is for a budget but willing to move up depending on the cost.
Let me know if anyone has some thoughts on this, thanks!

$1000-1500 seems like a reasonable budget.
But when you say bigger screen display, do you mean like a 15" screen or higher resolution screen?
Sounds like you're in the market for an ultra portable.
Is 256GB a hard number? Some SSD are 240 and far cheaper than the 256GB. 256GB SSD usually are business grade SSD and carry a hefty premium.
500GB SSD aren't super expensive now, but still around the $200 ish range. You can easily fit this in if for instance you can manage with an i5 processor vs i7 processor.
Seemingly random question... are you a clumsy typer? Some of the new keyboards on laptops piss me off to no end due to the size of the keys. There's no real way to search based on this criteria, but keep it in mind if you end up trying to decide between two similar spec laptops.
