Help deciding on a new laptop

[Jay917536]

I am currently trying to decide on a new laptop out of the following three. 

 

Samsung Notebook 9 w/ 256gb ssd: $1200 USD (http://www.samsung.com/us/computing/windows-laptops/12-14/notebook-9-13-3---16gb-ram--np900x3n-k04us/#specs)

Razer Blade Stealth 13.3 w/ 256gb ssd: $1400 USD (https://www.razerzone.com/gaming-systems/razer-blade-stealth)

Asus Zenbook 3 Deluxe w/ 512gb ssd: $1700 USD (http://store.asus.com/us/item/201706AM020000003/A47082-ASUS+Zenbook+3+Deluxe+UX490UA-XS74-BL+14"+Intel+i7+7500U+16GB+512GB+NVMe+SSD)

 

Based of what I can tell they are all basically the same expect with different io (not a concern as I have adapters if needed), difference I weight but that not an issue for me as all are under 3lbs.  Which one would you pick if you had to buy one as I need a laptop portable laptop for work. As well as which one you think would be the most durable over a period of about 5 years as that is about how long I intend to keep it.

What sort of work will you be doing on it? Will you often be moving it around and having to carry it in crowded environments? I don't see any of those laptops as being durable for someone who is constantly using it on the move for 5 years.

exactly none of them. they all suck. I'd get a X260 off thinkpad outlet.

Thanks for the recommendation but the thinkpad is not an option. By durability i meant motherboard quality and the quality of the connections internally. I will often be carrying these in crowed environments and for extended periods of time plus these are the ones i was offered reimbursement of the purchase cost for.

this doesn't make sense to me. what do u mean its not an option. You can get one for like half the price and twice the durability. And they are built far better internally as well. 

 

out of the 3, just get the samsung one. rbs is garbage. and the zenbook is too expensive for what you pay.

I was offered the others reimbursement of retail price, no cost to me, company pays for it. While i would have to pay for the thinkpad as it was not of of these 3 they offered to pay for.

Really? This thing was plastered everywhere as the Macbook killer. Note that it does get hot as fuck. Because fan less design.
