A new laptop for next 10 years

[ravendee]

Hello everybody,

 

I know, it may be too much optimistic, but i'm trying to find a laptop that will last for 10 years... or at least 5 :D

So here are the short list of laptops that I found interesting :

 

Lenovo S730-13IWL-520 :
- 1.2kg
- i7-8565U / UHD 620
- 16 Go Ram
- 13 inch
- 1 To SSD
- 1419 €

 

Razer Blade Stealth :
- 1.31kg
- i7-8565U / MX150 ( 25W 4GB )
- 16 Go Ram
- 13 inch
- 256 Go SSD
- 1 499,99 €

 

Asus UX480FD-BE004T :
- 1.6kg
- i7-8565U / GTX 1050 MAX-Q ( 4Go Ram )
- 16 Go Ram
- 14 inch
- 512 Go SSD
- 1 599 €

 

Dell XPS 13 9380 :
- 1,23kg
- i7-8565U / UHD 620
- 16 Go Ram
- 13 inch
- 512 Go SSD
- 1 728 €

 

Lenovo T490 :
- 1,46kg
- i7-8565U / MX250 ( 2Go )
- 16 Go Ram
- 14 inch
- 512 Go SSD
- 1 832,55 €

 

Apple Macbook pro 13 :
- 1,37 kg
- i5, quad core, 8th gen / Iris Plus 655
- 16Go Ram
- 13 inch
- 256 Go SSD
- 2 239 €

 

Please help me find the best value proposition between all those laptops.

 

What I gonna do with it :
- coding ( 60% )
- video editing ( 4k footage ) with davinci resolve ( 30 % )
- Watching Netflix/Youtube ( 10 % )

 

I'm currently on a XPS 9570, but it's too big and weight too much for me.

I ordered each laptop according to their price, each specification is ordered in term of importance for me : so the weight is my main concern ( and by extention the build quality ). I want to be able to take it in my luggage and since I only take cabin luggage, I need a light laptop.

 

As you can see, The ideal weight is under 1,5kg. I put the asus UX480FD because of the GTX 1050 MAX-Q, but i'm not sure if its worth the extra weight, i look forward to read your opinion on this choice.

I don't care about the OS because I have a lot of flexibility with Docker.

 

The ideal budget is under 2000€/2200$, but I can stretch to 2500€/2800$ if its worth the value.

 

Thanks in advance, i'm eager to read your advice.

10 years is VERY long...the only option imo is 'true' mobile workstation like Thinkpad P52, Precision 7530 and Zbook 15 G5

If you want something that lasts 10 years, you would probably want something very servicable. Most of the laptops you've suggested have soldered on SSD, soldered on RAM, soldered everything. If say the SSD dies or the RAM dies, then the whole laptop dies basically.

So my only option is the T480 ?
