i need a laptop which is decently powerful with an ssd (128gb is too small, preferably 240 or 256gb)
is not too thick (around 2.5cm or maybe smaller, doesn't need to be ultrabook-thin)
and has a good battery life (5-6 hours under general usage (browsing, office...))
and at least an average build quality

I've had trouble finding anything that suits my needs, most laptops ship without a ssd or one that's too small, or have bad battery life
i stumbled upon the ASUS R556LA, but found the build quality to be lacking
for 700€ it is not a bad laptop, for 700€, but i hope i can find something similar performance/battery life wise, with a better build quality for 100€ more
the screen is not too much of an issue for me, neither is the lack of Bluetooth

hello there im not sure what that price translates into us dollars, but after some research a laptop that comes with a 256gb SSD starts at 900$ us dollars now you can certainly find cheaper laptops and then you can always buy your own SSD and install it yourself, now if you want good battery life make sure you get a laptop with at least a 6 cell battery that should give you at least 5hours of battery life if not more plus you can always look into purchasing a bigger battery like a 9cell for even more battery life. hope this helps
