Best 15 inch Laptop?

[Henry H.]

Hi guys, 

 

I'm looking for powerful 15 inch laptop with decent battery life (5 hours+) that's not a mac (for obvious reasons). I quite like gimmicks and was drew to asus's screen pad although their build quality warded me off, i also really like the design of the zepherus line of laptops. Is there a 15 inch laptop that resembles the design of the zepherus line, is quite powerful, reasonably thin etc. 

 

Thanks

money is no object (within reason) I would like it to be reasonably light. 2kg max

Longest battery life in class, easily lasts 16hrs web browsing w/ 1080p screen and 200-250nits brightness.

Is design really important to you? If yes, I'll suggest a few models and you can pick the one you like the most

I mean, my work is very relaxed about laptops but if I turn up with a loud rgb one... That's why I like the zepherus line, they show that your a gamer but also are quite low key, same with my current razer blade stealth. I also love the squared off corners, they've done this with the recent razer blade too.

So you prefer more subtle look, am I correct?

PCSpecialist 16.1" Defiance V RTX - 2.1kg, ~5 hrs battery life (6 hrs is a bit hard)

Acer Predator Triton 500 (2060/2070MQ) - off GSYNC for longer battery life, CPU cooling not that great

Gigabyte Aero 15x/15w v8, Aero 15 w9, Aero 15 Classic SA - mediocre cooling

MSI GS65 8SE - OK-mediocre cooling (with max fans), some potential quality issues, very difficult maintenance/upgradability
