Looking for a new laptop with specific features

Hi everyone,

 

About a year and a bit ago a bought an Asus Vivobook S15 S510UN ultrabook.  Really love this laptop, has good performance, is very quiet, good battery life, very light and a nice screen. But recently I've found myself wanting some features that the laptop doesn't have like a thunderbolt 3 port. Also, although the bezels are slimmer than older laptops,but they are still pretty large. So now I've been looking for a new laptop but have had no luck so I was hoping that someone here could help me out.

 

Here is list of things I would like:

-14" screen (I find the 15.6" too big and makes the laptop a pain to carry around)

-A Mx 150 or 250 25W GPU

-A quad core U series CPU.

-Slimmer bezels

-Thin and light form factor

-Good batter life

-16gb of RAM

-At least 256 GB SSD and 1 tb HDD. (512gb SSD preferred)

 

Not required but nice to have:

-Expandability

-2 Display outputs (if there is 1 HDMI and 1 thunderbolt that is also fine)

-Thunderbolt 3 port

-NVME boot drive

-New 10th gen i7 U series CPU that has 6 cores

-A good webcam

 

If you guys could point me to a laptop that has something like this it would be much appreciated.

My location is Canada. Don't really care about budget right now, just send anything you see that is somewhat like what I have described.

this lacks the 1tb HDD, but covers all your other requirements, lacks HDMI but has 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports so makes up for it.

Wow! That looks great. Do you know if there is another spot for an HDD? Or even another SSD

I believe its only single M.2 but if it peaks your interests i would contact MSI to be sure. Here is the little more upgraded model

It goes from quad to hex core cpu. Also gpu from the mx250 to the GTX 1650 max-q

 

Here is the product page showing difference between models
