[Krumm]

Ok guys,

 

I'm on a search for a new laptop with some critical requirements for work.

 

Physical full sized SD card reader.

Ethernet jack 

Dedicated GPU (Cad work) light mobile gaming.

preferable many USB and thunderbolt ports. 

4k touch (OLED would be nice) 15.6"

Under 5 pounds

$2,500 USD 

8th gen i7 or better.

 

Current options. 

 

Thinkpad X1 extreme gen 2 

Gigabyte AREO 15x 

DELL XPS 15 ( not a fan of the looks) 

Mac Book pro (if it gets updated in the next few months)

 

Please let me know any-other computers.

 

Thanks for the help!

I'm currently in Seoul South Korea I can get almost everything at the electronics market.

I really wouldn't worry about a 4k display.

Thinkpad all day, Or maybe a surface laptop if you can live with a dongle.

I really do like them pixels.  Blade 15 is on my radar as well.

Ya but at 15" 1080p is already at 150 ppi, which is like a 27" 1440p display, you're going to end up using a lot of scaling with 4k at 15"

thats a valid statement. X1 carbon extreme with the HDR 400 color corrected display may be my sweet spot.

Thinkpad's docking system is unmatched as well.

This computer is Primarily going to be doing CAD work in the field and programming of PLC systems

Should look for the P series then maybe, and it'll have a quadro that'll have optimized drivers for CAD software.

Only a really big deal if your projects are huge though most likely, dunno the price difference.

Not really worth the price increase. $1830 for the x1 and $2350 for the p1. Same spec the only difference being the GPU. 

I would rather get more ram for a lower price.

4k touch

Is this a must? If UHD reso is a must, is touchscreen a must?

 

No preference on battery life?

After some thinking, UHD HDR is a must. I can live without touch. I prefer a mate display. 

 

anything better than 5 hours is fine battery wise.
