Best laptop overall?

[GuitarBro]

DISCLAIMER: This thread is not about me actually purchasing the best laptop that money can buy. It is only about what that laptop would theoretically be. As such, any following debate would simply be for fun and doesn't have to be practical. 

 

So the question is:

All factors considered, if money was no object, what laptop (currently on the market) would be the best overall?

 

Some points to mention:

• Lighter is generally considered better (unless you're a body builder who loves lifting laptops to exercise)
• Screen size is largely subjective but I think you'd have a hard time arguing for something under 13" or so.
• Quality of components can be a selling point (ex: panel in the screen, brand reputation) but can be harder to justify as being objectively better.
• Speed matters in every component that it can be measured in
• Looks are subjective but that's fair game too if you think it really looks that good
• Value for your money means nothing in this thread. Assume the buyer would sell his/her own grandmother for this laptop.
• DO NOT INCLUDE LAPTOPS THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AT THE TIME OF POSTING.

Have fun.

For the time being, best all around is the xps 15 uhd.

[don_svetlio]

Macbook Pro 2016 (15') if going for thin and light

ThinkPad X260 if going for battery life

ThinkPad T460S if going for build quality

Best line ups in this order: Thinkpad, Elitebook, Zbook, probook, Macbook pro, Dell xps

xps is a good balance, but im obviously biased as i just bought one. smallest 15.6" laptop, great battery and enough power to game. carbon and aluminum looks great, light for its size, mine has m.2 ssd 16gb ram and a 6700hq i7 so its plenty fast enough.

Acer has some good laptops. I'm really enjoying my 17.3" IPS display with a core i7 6700HQ and gtx 960m 4GB

Sager NP9870-S

 

Linus did a review on it a while back.

It would be hard to beat the MSI GT80 Titan as far as specs go, though the Sager is up there too...

My vote goes to the T460s. Notebookcheck agrees: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Notebookcheck-s-Top-10-Ultrabooks.91067.0.html

 

91% is the highest that any laptop has ever gotten on that page. A truly remarkable machine.

I don't have a preference at all, I buy the things that are the best and I know a lot about tech and laptops(I fix laptops). I am keeping people away from shitty laptops that will overheat and throttle, if you are not okay with that, there is something wrong with you, because all I do is help people. To be honest you need to say it a lot and keep saying it and even then I will have stupid fanboys saying something else to me, when I have all the facts on my side.
