Hello 

 

I'm searching for an 13' Ultrabook with a dedicated GPU, so I can play some Games on low settings. The first (and only) which came in mind was the Xiaomi Air 13 which has an GT 940mx and with this, it can even play GTA V on low settings. The only problem is, that I can't import the Xiaomi in my country.

What my preferred Ultrabook should be:

  • Portable
  • Decent style (no ailen head or red dragons)
  • Dedicated GPU
  • Decent battery life under light load
  • under CHF 2'000 ( USD 2'000) and available in Switzerland (no Razer :( )
  • if possible 4k display

If anyone could be helpful, it would be greatly appreciated!

Take a look at Lenovo's ThinkPads. They are buisness class so you'll be surprised what you can get. A T series notebook would probably work wonders for you. 

i can't find a T series 13' with a dedicated GPU....

Your best bet is probably an ASUS Zenbook or Vivobook.

Also no Vivobook with dedicated GPU. But the ZenBook UX310UQ-FC396T seems pretty sweet. especially for this price. It's CHF 1'299 (USD 1'299) and has a i7-7500U, GT 940mx, 16GB DDR4, 512 GB SSD and 1TB HDD. Thats waaaay better than a XPS 13 or am I missing something?

Well if you want to get into the business class world then the T460p, it has a quad core and a 940mx, but not much ultrabook over it, if you compare it to ultrabooks with ULV CPUs, the thing is that it is really rare to find a ultrabook with dGPU, most have intel HD or Iris. The 13" doesn't help
