Hello everyone,

 

I can't seem to find a laptop with the configuration I need. 

Maybe someone here knows a model that can fit my requirements:

 

-Windows based (most programs I use don't work on Mac's)

-Long battery life (more than 8 hours) or available solution for charging on the move

-Around 15" screen

-Minimum FullHD 1920x1080

-Weight lower than 2,5 kg / 5,5 lb

-Video out (Can be hdmi or display port - does not matter)

-Minimum 256 gb ssd, preferably 512gb

-Just ssd, no hdd

 

Would be nice if it also had:

-odd

-backlit keys

-touchscreen

 

I'm stumped, I can't find this laptop...

Thanks!

XPS 13 fits everything except for the form factor. It's a 13" laptop, not a 15" laptop.

The Alienware 13 might be a good buy... it should have the battery life you need, and can satisfy the video out and might be in your weight category.

 

If not, the Dell XPS13 might do it.

 

I don't know of anything else that'll satisfy your requirements offhand.

I have finally moved to a desktop. Also my guides are outdated as hell.

Yeah, I took a really close look at the XPS 13, but I couldn't get past the screen size.

I also looked at the XPS 15, but battery life really moved me away from it.

 

My target would be a laptop with XPS13 specs with the XPS15's display....
