I essentialy want a laptop that I can bring to class, type essays with (good keyboard with decent key travel), use for 5 hours, and then when I get home, hook it up to my mouse and game with.

I totally agree with you, what I meant to say was that I wanted to try and get the latest laptop, e.g., one that doesn't run on 6th gen CPU... or has outdated specs in 2019. I use my laptop for the following things: Photoshop editiing FL studio music mixing Word/Excel/Powerpoint Gaming with games like CS:GO, BFV, PUBG, Rust, Doom

I would prefer a battery to be higher than that, but if it meets all the other specifications and can't have more than 4, Ill compromise on that end. Weight wise, Ive just gone to the laptop store in my area and tested out the different weighs, and now have come to the decision that under 2kg is more realistic, as more than 2kg would be bringing my laptop into the gaming laptops weights territory (with the exception like the razor stealth ofc.) I wanted a 1440p because my previous one was this, but I guess ppi is still relatively high in 1080p so Ill change y specifications to 1080p. Im from Switzerland, but have access to buying in the UK, US and Switzerland, even France and Italy if it is needed. Budget would be around 1500euro/usd, but forking out an extra few hundreds if the increase in cost made sense, would be fine.

I am looking for a new laptop to invest in, my UX301LA is getting outdated and sluggish. Currently I am a student, but am looking to use this in my future years, when working. Requirements for the system are as follows; Battery - At least 5-6 hours, 4 would be fine, but higher is better of course. Screen size - 14"+, maybe even 15 if the screen ratio is high enough so that footprint isn't too big (I need to carry it in a bag) Weight - Tbh, as long as it doesn't look bulky, I am happy with carrying a 3kg laptop GPU - I need a dedicated graphics card, 9 or 10 series NVIDIA Resolution - 2560x1440 is what I am used to, and find that is it a balance balance between the 1080 and 4k in terms of quality and battery life storage - At last 256GB SSD, or 512GB would be ideal IO - I still want old classic style USB's! For future proofing, a USB-C, with some option for connecting to HDMI, such as mini or full HDMI, SD card reader would be plus, I usually work on word, web browsing, use photoshop and make some music, as well as playing CS:GO, not a very demanding game, but want it to be able to run attest 100fps medium 1080. Ive had my eyes on the X1 Extreme and X1 Carbon 9th and 8th series respectively, but these are somewhat outside of my budget options, unless they meet these requirements for under 1500-1600$ or euro. also seen the XPS 15 and 13, but don't prefer the IO, unless there are really no other options... Thanks!
