Pretty much in the title, I'm looking for a new laptop for colege and programming. I have a couple of requirements:

 

1. Price is not an issue

2. Need as good of a CPU as possible

3. Battery needs to be able to go 6+ hours

4. Graphics Cards aren't required

5. Needs to be portable for college

6. Keyboard and Trackpad needs to be half decent and usable

 

Anything else (sound, ports, etc) isn't a priority. Thanks in advance

 

Laptops I have in mind rn, 

1. Eluktroniks Mag 15 

2. New Dell XPS 15

3. HP Spectre x360 15"

I would recommend one of the below laptops, when configuring it from HIDevolution, choose "Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut + Fujipoly Extreme Thermal Pads" for the cooling solution. That 90 USD upgrade on its own reduces temps by as much as 15C which is crucial in these thin and light laptops to ensure they operate long and without overheating/thermal throttling.

 

HIDevolution's quality control, customization in terms of specs, and customer service is superb. I've been buying laptops from them for the past 5 years.
