Hey, first time posting here

I'm having a hard time finding a laptop with a good build quality under $2000 which would be good for my specific needs:

I'm a student, so portability and battery life would be a factor, gamer (I'm thinking 1050-1060?), programmer (good keyboard/touchpad), and photographer(needs a high quality display).

I'm fine with a FHD panel if need be, but obviously wouldn't mind anything higher.

The laptops i've been thinking of so far include the likes of the Razer Blade, XPS 15, Surface Book 2 15 inch (if I can find it on sale)/13 inch, and maybe the MBP, but obviously not for gaming. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Gigabyte Aero 15. Surface Book 2 15.6 also an option if you can afford. Alienware 13 also can be an option if you don't mind the slightly higher weight. You can also consider new Thinkpad/Ultrabook+eGPU.
