just wondering if there is actually an alternative to the blade 14 in terms of build quality, specs.

 

i'm not looking for a thick gaming notebook. i'm looking at a relatively thin and light that has good specs.

i've considered the x3 and x7 and those are out cause it's not available to my country. (most likely)

 

price is mostly a non issue. i get reimbursed for it

 

 

EDIT: I have to buy locally so preferably from major brands that are widely available

OriginPC. They're really good and fully customizeable.

Here's their new thin laptop

If you're going to buy a custom laptop atleast get a good one. I.e. Sager/Clevo.

Aorus X7 or MSI GS60.

OriginPC's fine, they're just rebranded Gigabyte barebones anyway.

Oops, their thin laptop appears to be an MSI Ghost rebrand. Still fine though, most likely.

 

So like other people have said, MSI Ghost/Stealth / Aorus x3/x7 / or Gigabyte P34/P35 are pretty much what's available for ultrathin laptops atm. There will also be the Asus GX500, but I'm not sure when that's out.

Why is everyone recommending such bad laptops?


The only suitable alternative, and a much better one IMO, is an Mac Book Pro!
