choose GTX GPU or go for lower end GPU for USB C charging. Choose 1 only

Is it due to power limit or other reason? I was told that XPS 15 with 1050Ti has proprietary charger and chargable with type-C as well.

Yes, 100W limit. The only GTX laptop that can charge via USB C is XPS 15 from what I know, however 9570 model isn't that good (9575 is OK, non-upgradable RAM though)

Then chargable with type C is optional.

My main requirement is slim, with discrete GPU and long lasting battery (>7 hours web browsing/office tool usage)

How slim? Give a range

Any preference on weight? Is touchscreen a must?

<13mm would be excellent, <18mm would be acceptable.

Screen size >13inch, <15inch.

Believe that at this thickness, even at 15 inch it won't be too heavy.

I kinda like the xps 13 and xps 15 and spectre, similar form factor would be great.

Touchscreen is optional.

MSI PS63 8SC-043 (older model - PS63 8RC-204)
Asus Zenbook UX533F-DA9111T - non-upgradeable RAM, GPU only 2GB VRAM

Thanks! The PS63 is quite good for its price especially the new GPU. Don't think any Dell / HP can compare with similar spec at this price.
