Are there any 15.6 inch Razer Stealth style Laptops?

[hpotter134]

I am looking for a laptop with any i7 HQ/MQ (or any powerful quad+ core) with a big battery and 15.6 inch 1080p screen. Another key requirement is a 4 PCIE lane USB-C port to use for an external GPU. I would rather not have a built in dedicated GPU in exchange for longer battery life and lower price. 

Razer stealth is too small, and the screen resolution imo is pretty stupid for that size.

I have looked at laptops like the Dell XPS 15 9560 and Gigabyte Aero 15, and those do satisfy the requirements (especially the big battery)  but I would rather have one without a built in GPU, so that it costs under $1500 and has an even better battery life. 

 

Any options?

Other than the Blade(which is a really bad laptop) your left with Alienware(which has decent laptops) Maybe get a Alienware 13

There is always Apple, but the 15" models are out of his price range and the 13" models are too small. 

 

Unfortunate.

Well he said he wanted an external GPU for that purpose and Apple currently implements Thunderbolt 3 better than anyone else.

Unfortunately as you said, Macbooks are out of my price range.

I was thinking more CPU-wise when I said that

And? The 15" models are quad cores.

But they aren't 1500

Which is why I said they were out of his price range

Better than average, yes. Better than anyone else? No. They're on par with HP's implementation on their Zbooks and Dells implementation on their Precision workstation machines. 

Both are wired to the CPU not PCH for certain models.

Ye, but these are rare af. For the average consumer, Macbooks are the only ones. I didn't know about Dell routing it direct. I swear some of it is still not. And only select Zbooks. Zbooks have had them since last gen when it came out bless the lord. AGA is still better though ._.

@OP

 

laptop you are looking for is still a unicorn. I've been waiting for something like that for ages too. The closest we got was the Dell E5480 but that still required a fucking 930m. 

 

maybe in the new kaby lake r gen they will stop doing dumb shit like that.

 

14in with hexa core full 45w (tdp throttle down 35w), direct pch tb3, no dgpu, massive af battery is goals right now.

 

^ reason why u want manufacturers to enable tdp throttle down to 35w is because i guarantee they don't put a full chip in without it and we can toggle it off and work some liquid magic and undervolting to keep temps in check better than the fucking oems.
