Thin, powerful CPU laptop

[BGA]

I'm looking for a laptop with a powerful cpu (at least quad core), but I don't particularly care about having a great GPU as I don't game much. Hopefully that would help it be relatively thin and have good battery life. I also want to maintain a good I/O selection, and have ample internal storage.

 

The MSI-GS63 has a powerful GPU, but otherwise is about what I want.

I have reservations about getting that specific model as other users have pointed out its heatsink runs directly over the wifi card and south bridge.

New XPS 13 with the quad core? No GPU, but a good CPU
