Your budget is massive. I'd just get the best device on the market that does what you need. That being the LENOVO ThinkPad X1 Extreme with a six core i7 and 1650. It's extremely durable and reliable with business grade quality and certification. It's potent for gaming and heavy work. Has a solid 6-8 hour battery life and the best laptop keyboard on the market.

Razer blade 15 is one the best laptops avaible in above $1500 price range and most of the youtubers also suggest that

Here are a few good choices:

 

- MSI GS65

- Alienware m15

- Razer Blade 15

- Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme

The first 3 choices have better GPUs and are still compact enough to carry around. I personally owned the Alienware m15 a few months back from HIDevolution and had it configured with Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut + Fujipoly Extreme Thermal pads which kept the temperatures lower than the standard models you pick off the shelf. I suggest you choose that little thermal upgrade which only costs 90 bucks in any of the laptops you are going to buy.

 

As for the Razer Blade 15, despite what some people may say about it and the lack of quality control from Razer, the benefit from buying it from a good reseller such as HIDevolution is that they do the quality checks to ensure you get a laptop that works great out of the box

Please answer correctly: Which country are you from? Max weight in kg/lbs? Min battery life in hours?
