Gigabyte P34W?

Little thin and light 14" with multiple m.2 slots, 2.5" ssd. And a high powered 970m for graphics work. No experience with the 14" personally but the ips 1080 screen used on its 15" brother is lovely. I believe a 3k or 4k screen is also offered which may be better for graphic work (not gaming since you will need to downscale to 1080 for that anyway)

 

You didnt mention a budget but it is about 60% of the price of an mac book with close to equivelent specs.
