Choosing between a few laptops to finally buy a new one!

[santylhada]

Hey, I'm buying a laptop in the UK area, and i have a few options that I am considering, but I need some help deciding.

My budget is around 1700€, a bit more, a bit less, and this is what i am searching for:

6/7th gen intel processor, i5 or i7 (preferred 7th gen i7)

nvidea gpu

SSD only (256 or 512) - 256 is preferred since i dont need too much portable storage and it will make it cheaper

13.5 to 15.6 inch 1080p screen (4k or QHD screens use too much battery, don't they?)

An incredible battery life

Good build quality - THIN AND LIGHT PLEASE

8-16 GB RAM

 

I was considering these options:

Dell XPS 15 with 1080p screen and 97 Whr battery - i was going to buy this one, but today i found the 2 following ones and i'm not sure now:

Microsoft surface book

ASUS ZenBook Pro UX501VW-US71 - this one seems to be a fucking beast, but can you name a better pc?

Thanks in advance, any new laptop options will be considered, leave your opinions please!

For battery life? XPS 13 with the Kaby i5.

Resolution doesn't matter a great deal, depending on what you're doing.

xps 13 has no gpu

I'd say xps, but only because of the better gpu that the xps has.

If you go with the 1080 non-touch model it will improve the overall battery life.

Even though with the problems I have with my xps I'm really doubting if I should recommend it:

 

If battery is really a thing I'd say surface book.

but is it worth it though? if they were the same price, would the battery life change too much depending on screen selection?

It would help if you told us what you're using it for. Without that it's hard to recommend anything.

Not every XPS 15 comes with a 97whr battery. Might be what he means.

XPS 15 all the way. Great ultrabook, and one of the most ultrabooky laptops with dedicated GPUs.

there are 1080p models with 97Whr and 4k models with 97 Whr, but 4k screens consume more energy, is it really noticeable in battery life against its similar 1080p counterpart?

I would personally go for the 4K, but if battery life is that big for you, either would work great.

check out the new Zenbook Pro. otherwise the XPS15. 

 

I dont think your budget allows for the Aero 15.
