Looking for a laptop for my friend

[zhubaohi]

So, a friend of mine is looking for a laptop. Since I am an eGPU enthusiast, he also wants this solution. I recommend some ultrabooks with 4-core Kabylake Refresh CPU, but he insist on a 6-core machine. So is there any 6-core laptop on the market that does NOT have a dedicated graphics? Except for macbook, that is.

The problem that I find looking for these soloutions is that most will have a GPU built in as they are a laptop and to a manufacturer it will inevitably be taken away from the eGPU and a manufacturer does not want to make a computer that will struggle when it isnt attached to its eGPU, but a 6 core option could be the Razer core 15 but it has a 1060, but that 1060 should be discrete (my understanding is discrete will change between using cpu and gpu depending on the situation whereas dedicated does not have the cpu option, i may be wrong with that understanding)
