13.3-14 inch on the go laptop with quad core

[Dackzy]

As the title says I am looking for a 13.3-14 inch laptop with a quad core i7.

 

Battery life= 5+ hours

Keyboard= Must be really good

Cooling= Must also be really good

Weight= Under 2kg

Build= Must be really good, so no HP, Acer, Asus, dell, razer. (unless they are work/business grade models)

dGPU= Is not a must, intel HD 520 is fine for most things I use it for, since I don't really game on my laptop and I have a desktop.

eGPU= Would be really nice to have, for when I am home or at lans.

Screen= 900p-1080p IPS

Touchpad= Separate left and right clicks would be really nice.

 

I know my demands are pretty high, but that is because I fix laptops and I don't want my laptop to be one of them.

[Dackzy]

@GoodBytes Could you move this to the laptop segment?

[H4X3R]

A Schenker XMG P406. It comes in many different varieties and fulfills all your criteria (if you do not use the eGPU then you should be good in terms of thermals and noise)  

It comes with a 970M as well.

 

Price ranges from 1400 - 1600 euros.

 

Schenker (mysn) support is the best there is in Europe for laptops in my experience.

Lenovo ThinkPad T460p, Core i7-6700HQ, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD

Wait wtf, says he wants build quality but doesn't want ASUS or Razer laptops, both are of great of great quality nowadays. 

 

- Surface Book

- ASUS Zenbook Line

- Razer Blade series

- Any MSI laptop, the GS40 Phantom fits your specs perfectly, I would highly consider looking at that

Who fixes laptops here? me.

The cooling and how they are put together is utter shit.

I don't want to fix it because the cooling and build is bad.

I would get that until I read that it has thermal throttle, that kinda turns me off. That was really the laptop I was going to get until I read about the throttling

Yeah I have been looking at that because it has the quadcore cpu and looks like it has good build and good cooling. Do you know anything about the C406? It has the same cpu and gpu, but also a type c 3.1 usb that could be a bit fun to play around with.

Hmm yeah, I have not looked into it a lot but I doubt that it will throttle when you only use the cpu 100% and honestly thinkpad laptops are imho miles ahead of the competition when it comes to durability and quality that it is worth it even though it might mean you have to downclock the cpu.

Yeah ThinkPads are kinda the god laptop when it comes to how they are build and their keyboards.

dual cores, he wants more powerrrr. And i'd buy schenker s306 in europe, dell xps 13 is overpriced.

Yeah, i5 6200u would be enough for me. After all it matches a10-7700k in cinebench.

Yeah, but I just don't like the keyboard they use that much and it is a dual core cpu they use. I think my list looks kinda like this.

1. clevo p640re (xmg p406)

2. T460p

3. XPS 15

4. T460s

5. XPS 13

6. schenker-s406 (because the schenker-s306 only has german or UK keyboard  )

I have a 5 year old i7 2640m that gets about the same as the i5 6200u in benchmarks, I think that it is kinda funny

Sometimes you just have to tell the truth.

Ps. I can go on and on about a lot of the problems they have

Just wondering, why not a t430 with quad core?

Keyboard and touchpad, the t420s is the last gen of Thinkpads with the classic keyboard layout and the separate left and right. I don't really like what they did, the new gen is better for me when it comes to that, but lenovo just stopped putting a quad core in the none s t4x0 models.
