Hello LTT follower I need a thin laptop for UNI

[50Sam]

Hello fellows, I need a laptop for UNI. I mentioned the minimum requirements in the tags it does not matter if the storage does not reach 500GB unless it is upgradable. I would highly apreciate 4 lanes of thunderbolt as i woud like to use the laptop with an E-GPU at home.

what subject? 

 

XPS 15 would be my suggestion

I like the new XPS15 a lot, and it would be my first choice but it has only 2 Lanes of Thunderbolt 3. Thanks for the suggestion tho :*

a thin laptop and external gpu isnt a very good idea because thin laptops tend to mean "thin performance" if you get the point.

 

i'd rather recommend you go cheaper on the laptop side of things, and combine the "projected savings" with the money you'd spend on a GPU dock to buy yourself a desktop.
