Choosing new laptop with dedicated graphics

[Gabe Bal]

Hello, I'm looking for a new laptop for school. Hoping to find something with at least (will not consider anything less than these aspects):

- Intel i5 - i7

- Nvidia MX150 or 250

- 16 GB of ram 

- 1080P screen that looks decent

- AC wifi

- 6-7+ hours of battery life

- 14' - 15' screen

- USB type A (at least one, doesn't matter if it is 2.0 or 3.0)

- bluetooth 4.2 or a headphone jack

- 256-512 GB SSD PCIe

- not a gaming laptop, something that is reasonably thin and light to take around

- between $1000 - $1400

- Would like any brand except: razer, apple, HP, acer

 

The following would be nice, but are optional:

- USB C with thunderbolt 3

- Touchscreen

- Fingerprint or IR camera

- Backlit keyboard

 

If you guys know anything that matches, link it in the comments. For those wondering, I'm using the laptop for post-secondary CS. Thanks.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus. I bought it for school and its amazing. 

 

It was recommended to me by people on this forum. 

 

Edit: read over the part where you dont want a gaming laptop. However this is a slim laptop that meets all of your other needs.

Unless you're afraid of the Chinese Government:

Huawei MateBook X Pro

 

 

Lenovo also has some fantastic options

checked the link, while it looks great, i NEED 16 gb of ram. It looks like the i5 model has the ram soldered on, and the i7 model is way out of my reach in terms of cost. I'll take a look at the stuff lenovo has though.

thanks for the suggestion, however I would like to be able to take my laptop for more than 2 hours before having to charge it.
