Choosing right laptop for work

[Zmaslo]

Dear community ,

I am currently looking for a new laptop as my old Acer Aspire V3 is going to leave this world soon.

I felt in love with Dell XPS 13, I also kind of like MCB Pro 13 retina (2015) BUT! I am afraid both doesn't meet my performance requirements, but I am not totally sure about it, so please help me with choosing.

I have to work with big PSD files as I have to retouch sometimes for my job, will these laptops be able to handle complex Photoshop works?

I am also occasionally working with Cinema 4D as a hobby, will these laptops be able to render some still images (not animations) in a normal times? Same question for occasional video editing in Premiere.

My budget is somewhere around $1700 and I am looking for well built computer with no overheating issues, no "wierd clicking noise" issues, no wifi problems... just some serious machines. I am looking for 13" because I am travelling alot and low weight would be welcome, but I could live with 15" too.

Dream machine would have 16gb ram, fast processor, 256GB SSD, dedicated nvidia (2gb) and quality screen...

I would love to have the laptop before Christmass (thinking about XPS 15)
THANKS for any suggestions!

F.

Nice offer, I believe this has all the performance I could ever need but thing is, I am looking for a stylish good looking laptop (as you can see in my choice XPS 13 or MCB Pro), not 17" dumpster that would ruin my back when carrying.

But THANKS, for suggestion!

Thank you ak47jar3d for your help. All the specs according this laptop looks great, but I have a huge problem with its gaming look. I rather stay "low profile" and this would attract too much of an attention.

Sorry for being picky, but for this price I really would like to be 100% satisfied.

Please, do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks!
