Help choosing a laptop

[WinKevin1]

Hi!

This community have always answered my buying questions in the past, and I'm going to USA this December, so I want to ask you this: a laptop with these specs:

 

• 15" display             (13 is too small, 17 big but considerable, pixel count isn't that important. Touch if available)
• A good Core i7      (I'm  not that good with processors, so tell me why you choose it, please)
• Nvidia 970m          (or 980m)
• 8 to 16 GB RAM
• SSD and HDD        (you choose the size, it is not that important for me)
• Slim
• Fans unhearable when idle
• 3 (or more) USB ports
• Good battery life.
• BD/DVD optional.
• SD Card Slot
• Thunderbolt           (optional, but helpful in the future)
• Backlit keyboard    (better if programmable)
• Less (or close) $3K

 

I'm going to use this for 2-D and 3-D animation, digital art and video rendering, some gaming, take to trips and to the classroom, usable for 4+ years. So if you see some laptop that is better for me that doesn't match this specs, tell me why.

This is for an upgrade of the Sony Vaio S 15" that I have.

 

So thank you, and help me please.

You said slim, so erm this

With that budget, you can add so many SSDs. But if you plan on getting this in the end, go for G-Sync and a Samsung SM951 PCIe SSD.

 

But if you didn't say slim,

This thing has a desktop CPU and a 980M.

 

And this as well if you didn't say slim and have a really high budget

Get an msi gs60

The only problem I see is the battery life (because I'm going to use it for school also). 

But thank you!

Anything you get that has a dedicated video card isnt gonna give you great battery life, thats just life. And the 2 hour battery is if your gaming, just going everyday stuff your looking at 4hours easy
