Hey guys, see title^. Any help is much appreciated!
Total budget and country of purchase:
USA, ~$1700.
* Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply.
I do not want a 2 in 1, battery life and best specs for money matters most.
* How important is weight and thinness to you?
Weight and thinness is plus, but its not extremely important.
* Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.
I prefer the windows OS.
* Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
I prefer a 15 inch laptop.
* Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
I will likely be using CAD through AutoCad or Inventor, but not much photo or video editing. I have a separate gaming PC.
* If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
N/A
* Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
Touch screen is something I don't really care about and will not be using (as I also do not want a 2 in 1). I care about reliable build quality. My top 2 priorities are a Keyboard and Trackpad. I would also love to have USBC charging and ports.
* Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
I have an existing gaming PC with much higher specs. I am looking for a laptop to complement this. So far my top choice is the Dell XPS 15.
Thanks so much for any help, its much appreciated.
Note: I also need 16GB ram and 256 GB storage(preferably SSD)
