Thunderbolt laptops

[Vink221]

So a few days ago my old HP dv6 crashed on me (the motherboard is dead because if static) so I am in the market for a new laptop. Seeing as I'll be using this guy for atleast 5-6 years I need it to be kinda future proof. My biggest requirement is that it should support thunderbolt 3 so I can upgrade my GPU from time to time as the GPU and ram never seen to be big problems. I would love to hear everyone's suggestions and please take price into account as I am not filthy rich but I  know due to TB3 being new not many laptops support it.

whats your absolute maximum budget? for now the blade 14 seems like the most likely candidate for your needs

that budget is for the laptop only or you want an external dock to come with it?

and also a gpu as well?

 

it converts to about 1k usd so your options might be very limited

the dock and external gou I will buy later much later (that's why I was hoping that the system had a decent gou in it so I could still game till then cause the total budget will come around to 1 lakh (Indian money terms Google if you don't understand) again the dock and external gpu will be bought much later. I want to get a machine that can last me through my collage days and maybe a year after as well (I am in the 11 th grade which means I have about 2 years to go till collage ) so in total with thunderbolt 3 this machine should be in theory 6-7 years future proof till it will need a new cpu

They seem like good options but I don't think they come with gpu (other than the igpu and like I said it will be ATLEAST a year till I can get the egpu and dock

yeah no gpu with these but with a little bit of hacking you could make it work with a razer core if dell don't decide to natively support it

I think there will be more egpu docks in the future so I am not worried about the support and dell (unlike hp ) have pretty good third party support in my opinion
